Kleer-Fuse can be used with open weave textiles, knits, fleece or any material that stretches to stabilize the sewing area to keep it from stretching. It can be used by embroidery and non-embroidery enthusiasts alike. By keeping the fabric stable, you can how have decorative stitching and stop distortion. It can be fused to the fabric with a light iron pressing firmly, or you can simply lay it on top of the fabric you are about to stitch. Though it resists tearing and is very thin, it doesn't stretch and easily tears away when a project is completed. Kleer-Fuse may be fused over the top of embroidery, needlepoint, artwork, applique, etc. as a final protective film to be left in place to protect against soiling. It can also be used to laminate cards, photos, posters, etc. on one or both sides.
