    2.Place the Vliesofix with the motif onto your fabric. Ensure that the adhesive is facing the fabric. Set your iron to the Wool setting (2-3 dots). Press using dry heat for 5 seconds. If your motif is larger than the iron plate, gradually shift the iron 5 sec at a time until your entire motif is affixed to the fabric. You may have to test your fabric to ensure that you can safely iron it at the same temperature as the Vliesofix.
