Tell us in more detail how you save patterns by fusing to interfacing. I have copied patterns to fabric backed wallpaper successfully but I always look for new, easier methods.

Thank you!

You only press a little of the pattern at a time, like each corner. Then turn to do the next corner. Don’t run the iron from top to bottom if it’s a larger piece. This is mainly for pieces that hang off the board. Your iron cord can rub against them and can tear the tissue or crinkle it worse. You also need to maintain a light hand to not burn the tissue paper. So ironing a little bit at a time and turning the pattern piece will get you the best flat-ironed pattern.

Also I try to do this before I put water in the iron because I was taught to empty the iron before putting it away but I’ll admit I frequently get lazy and don’t do this simple bit of matintance. And I really do need to invest in a cord holder so I can stop throwing the cord over my shoulder to keep it out of the way.
