How to use
Thin garment: put a thicker scrap between front and back so they don't glue together.
Place the stones. Tweezers or a wax pen help with small ones; an embroidery hoop steadies stretchy fabric.
Fit the right tip before switching on.
Plug in and press the button on the pen — it glows orange. Heats up in ~2 minutes.
Rest it on the metal stand or a heat-proof surface.
Hold the purple silicone grip, press straight down on the stone for 10–30 s (depends on stone and fabric). Lift gently to check.
Switch off and unplug. Let it cool completely before putting it back in the box.
Stones not sticking?
Stones aren't hot-fix (no glue on the back)
Poor quality stones
Fabric type
Pressed for too short a time
Washing: in a laundry bag, low temperature (e.g. 30 °C) or by hand. No tumble drying.
Avoid
Thin fabrics (silk, organza), rubbery synthetics, rain/wind jackets and technical fabrics. Always test on scrap or a hidden spot.
