Definitely call the company. Maybe they know about this already and have a solution. I use their fabrics quite a bit, but not the Mirage. Hope you find a solution.

I purchased some pieces from their Mirage section, and washed it because it felt stiff and starchy. When I go to iron the fabric, it seems like such a hard job because my iron does not want to smoothly glide over the fabric-just like it has some funny finish on it. Some of the colors are fine, though, so I don't know why some are that way. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, what did you do about it?
I don't post much-I'm just happy to read about everyone else's accomplishments and what lessons they have learned that I can apply to my quiliting! |
Thanks for all the suggestions. I think I will contact them to see if they have any ideas. It is not my iron-just got a new one recently, and it's clean. I did try to iron it on the back, and that seemed to help also. It must be just some type of finish on it. It isn't enough of a problem to keep me from trying some of their other fabrics-can't wait to see what they put on sale next!

I have never had any problems with Connecting Threads Fabrics and I order from them quite often. If you clean your iron and it still is not satisfactory to you contact Connecting Threads and see what they say about it. There customer service is great.

you can also clean the iron with a used dryer sheet, and I suggest calling them, they will make it good
|
Could it be our iron was set to hot?? try lowering the heat a bit.

I have bought several fabrics from C.T. and have loved it all, no problems. It is amazing some people have problems with exact same fabrics and lots more people have no problems. UM!!

Peckish asked the question I was thinking...lol I use Magic sizing or Best Press when I press fabric
after washing it. I would call the company, they need to know if it was a bad batch. |
