Angelina Fiber is a very fine and unique fiber. Angelina Fiber is light reflective, as well as refractive. It is incredibly luminescent while (unlike regular metallics) it has an extremely soft hand. Blended with other fibers in amount as small as 2%, it gives sparkle and highlights to your threads, yarns, art quilts, or surface design and embellishment projects.
We have 16 colors to choose from. Angelina Fibers are manurfactured in a wide range of deniers and staple lengths for all spinning systems and nonwovens.
The instructions for heat bonding are as follows:
The temperature required is dependent on several variables including dwell time and applied pressure. Increasing dwell time and heat results in predictable color shifts in the fiber.
NOTE: Generally, Angelina Heat Bondable AKA Hot Fix fiber will only adhere to itself AND the staple (no bond) Angelina's and NOT to other fibers, tissue paper or fabrics.
- Heat iron to silk temperature setting.
- NOTE: Approximate bonding temperature is 225 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Since temperature gauges on irons vary widely even within most brand models, it is best to test a small amount to determine the correct bonding temperature.
- Place a small amount of fiber between two sheets of tissue paper or parchment paper.
- Gently, with light pressure, move the iron back and forth
- Check frequently on the bonding progress.
- NOTE: Be careful not to "fry" the Angelina fiber with too much heat or do repeated pressing as the fibers lose their sheen and become a dull brownish version of the color.
