I ironed it on the way I'm supposed to, but after coming out of the washing machine the first time, the Cloud Cover has come right off the fabric. What did I do wrong?

honeychyle, wish I could help you. I'm sure someone has the answer. I'm curious to know.

Did it come all the way off or just loosen along the edges? If around the edges just iron it back down again - I find that happens alot. Have never had it come all the way off - guessing your iron was not hot enough to melt the glue to make it stick.

sweetie, I dampen a pressing cloth and lay over back of design that is covered with the cloud cover and trimmed away leaving about a half inch border. That way you can use a hotter iron. if you put the hot iron directly on cloud cover it will damage it. You can use an old cloth diaper or man's hanky if you don't have a pressing cloth. kay

If you have to keep ironing it down I don't think I want the bother of it.

I use an iron on interfacing and don't have this problem.

I bought cloud cover and it will not iron on. I tried a high setting, dry and with steam and it is junk. I will continue to buy the iron on interfacing from joanns that I have never had a problem with.

I had the same problem with my cloud cover,I have used the interfacing in the past and never had a problem and it is something I always have in my sewing room, so have decided to forgo the cloud cover in the future and just stick with my interfacing.

its a lining you iron on after stitching. Keeps you from itching from the threads. Good for babies as not to irritate their skin.
