| Oops...I burned it again.... |

We've been talking about Evolon this week, so I thought that we'd finish the way we began. When you are transfer dyeing on Evolon, remember that it is a combination of polyester and nylon. I find that it burns more easily than Lutradur, so be careful; keep your iron moving all the time as you transfer the colour, and press firmly to encourage the colour to transfer as quickly as possible.
PS the large burn at the top was achieved with an iron; the smaller, lacy holes, with a heat gun. There's definitely a difference between the holes you create when you're trying, and the holes you create when you're not...

The iron can spoil a project in a moment. I love the colour.
I love the holes - think what you can do with them and anyway the fairies always need breathing spaces....
I think the big one wants buttonhole stitch.
do the burnt areas get a bit more solid and hard to stitch into like tyvek?
