I just used this for the first time day before yesterday on the fabric for a lap quilt top before I cut it. I laid out all of the fabric in a stack on the floor on top of my big cutting mat. Then I started spraying like crazy until I’d sprayed each layer. Since the fabric wasn’t TOTALLY saturated in every spot, I folded it all and put it back into the ziplock baggie that the quilt top kit came in and let it soak in overnight. It had just the right amount of slight dampness when I took it out of the bag yesterday morning. I’m super lazy when it comes to ironing, so I used my t-shirt heat press instead. LOL. The entire pressing process went by so fast, and I’ve been able to EASILY get accurate fussy-cut squares for the 1st time ever this morning! I haven’t even attempted to make a quilt in years because cutting the fabric stresses me out so bad, but Terial Magic is a game changer for me. It took almost an entire 16oz bottle, so I will probably save my other bottle for smaller projects and use liquid starch for the big stuff. I’m just super excited that Terial Magic lived up to its name and truly is magical. 💜
I will have to try this to see if I can run it through my printer and make my own quilt labels. I tried the freezer paper method and it wouldn’t run through my printer. Thanks!!
Sarah Mitchell, Sorry for the late response. In my experience with it, yes, it does wash out just like starch. Although you may need to wash it more than once depending on how much it is soaked in the Terial.
I am so curious about this process and what you creative folks will do with it. I’m a cross stitcher and trying to think how this idea might work for finishing. Please, post other ideas and thoughts about how you used it and any problems or tips!! Thank you!!
Marcia W, I think you can use it as a starch but it would be more expensive compared to regular starch. I have found mine in a smaller bottle at my LQS. But FQS is carrying the bigger bottle that you saw in the video.
Ok. After it’s saturated you say to hang it up and let it dry. Then when you are pressing it you say let the material get used to the heat then iron it until it’s dry. So which is it? Do you hang it up today or iron it dry?
The new Cricut Maker cuts fabric without stabilizer. I have the explore air 2 Cricut and I cut fabric with it all the time. You have to stabilize it by adding interfacing or ironing freezer paper to it. I tried it with Terial Magic a couple weeks ago and it worked also!
Small problem... I have an original Cricut... 8 years old ish. Maybe even 10 years. I tried once before and it didn't work. But then I didn't think about starching.
I also own one that is older Robin ! I've tried to cut fabric also but it didn't work. I need to find where I can get that product because I'm going to try it again!!
You could use it instead of starch, especially if you wash quilts, the stiffness will wash right out once you're done. However, we find this to be a bit more pricey than starch for those purposes.
Hello! We find this just opens up the possibilities with the fabric you may already have in your stash or for prints you may not be able to find in paper 😊
