Notions & Tools
Purchase commonly used products such as needles (machine, hand and beading), threads, fusible web in various weights, mini irons, non-stick ironing craft sheets and more: items such as ExtravOrganza (semi-transparent silk organza fabric sheets); LUTRADUR (a 100% polyester spun bond non-woven translucent surface); (or TAP, developed by artist Lesley Riley — premium-quality sheets that allow you to transfer images to virtually any surface); Texture Magic by Superior (steam-activated shrinking fabric to create beautiful textured effects), etc.

Remember too that many notions can be thought as a separate creative element for fabric and paper! For example, create your own custom textile by painting the webbed side of Mistyfuse (a sheer fusible) with a watered-down paint such as Silks Acrylic Glaze or Jacquard’s Dye-Na-Flow, let it air dry, cut or tear into shapes or pieces as desired, then iron it webbed side down (as normal) to fabric or paper, protecting your iron using the non-stick Goddess sheet.
