Default pellon lite ez steam 11

question of the day: I am used to steam a seam. this is pellon. I am trying to follow instructions to no avail. please help!

instructions per my reading ability state to peel of backing that is easiest. place against wrong side of fabric. draw design. cut.. fuse. ok I peal it off comes off great. I attach it comes off great.. getting it off fabric is a whole ' nother ball game. I cant get it off. ironed it on, tried it without ironing to backing still nothing it comes all the way off with the hard backing or it sticks permanently to the fabric unable to peel off. can you please show me how??? I am losing it completely and its not pretty!

Top layer is bumpy and never goes near the iron draw the she on the s,ooth side and cut out.put bumpy side on shape fabric back and press into place.
Now peel off the smooth white backing. It will come.It is white fits very snugly but needs peeling off gently. To fuse press on and hold still for 10 seconds works best for me and not ironing.
Hope this makes sense if not someone else will be along soon.

you might try reading again and make sure you are using the correct side first. I got pellon 805 wonder under someone here recommended but haven't tried it yet. It's been al ong time since I used paper backed fusible. Good luck.

Someone in a recent class had exactly the same problem. Turns out you are not supposed to iron it, when you "press" it to your fabric. Just finger press it to make it stick to the fabric. Draw & cutout your shape. Then remove the paper and place on the background. Then, and only then, shouldd you go anywhere near it with your iron.

You may be out of luck on the pieces you've already ironed on.
