Full details
Hemline Heat ‘n’ Seal Lite is a specialized adhesive paper designed for crafters and sewists working with fine or lightweight fabrics. It provides a permanent, reliable bond for appliqués and quilting projects while maintaining the delicate hand of the material through low-temperature activation. While it is perfect for detailed haberdashery work, users should note that it is strictly for light materials and is not intended for heavy-duty upholstery or thick, non-fusible textiles.

FAQs
Can I use steam with this product?
No, it is designed for dry iron use only. Steam can cause inconsistent bonding and may damage the adhesive properties.
Is this safe for silk fabrics?
It is intended for light fabrics, but always test on a scrap of your specific silk first to ensure the low-temperature setting does not affect the finish.
How do I remove the paper backing?
Once the adhesive has cooled completely, the paper backing should peel away easily from the fused fabric.
Can this be used for hemming heavy denim?
No, this product is formulated for fine and lightweight fabrics and will not provide a permanent hold on heavy textiles like denim.
What happens if I wash the project at a high temperature?
Washing above 30°C may weaken the adhesive bond, potentially causing the appliqué to lift or detach over time.
Troubleshooting
The fabric is not sticking to the base material.
Ensure your iron is set to the correct low-heat level and hold it in place for a slightly longer duration. Check that the fabric surface is clean.
Adhesive residue on the iron plate.
Always place a piece of parchment paper or a pressing cloth between the iron and the adhesive paper to prevent transfer to your equipment.
Fabric is stiff after application.
You may have used too much heat or applied for too long. Ensure you are using the 'Lite' version and verify the temperature settings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, ensure your fabric is clean and free of fabric softener or residue before application. Set your iron to a low temperature—avoid steam at all costs as it can interfere with the chemical bond of the adhesive. Press firmly for the manufacturer's recommended time until the paper is bonded to the fabric.
Compatibility: This product is designed specifically for fine to medium-weight natural and synthetic fabrics. Always perform a test swatch on a scrap piece of your chosen material to verify adhesion and ensure the temperature is appropriate.
Care: After your project is complete, wait at least 24 hours before the first wash to allow the adhesive to fully cure. Wash in cold or lukewarm water (up to 30°C) and tumble dry on a low setting or air dry to maintain the longevity of the bond.
