Mylar for Embroidery is basically a type of polyethylene Terephthalate film commonly called PET film or Mylar which apart from food packaging and hydroponics is used for gift wrap.  Mylar is a brand name manufactured by Dupont, it is a polyester film and it works wonderful for Embroidery. 

 

The Iridescent and Opalescent film is suitable for use with designs digitized specially for it.  Usually there is some underlay stitching, then you place the film down, you can just leave it there or tape in place with with magic tape on the edges.  After the next layer of stitching the film can be pulled away. It tears away cleanly, any pokies left can be removed with tweezers. The layer of stitching over the film is usually a much looser fill allowing the lovely sparkling effects of the film to shine through., giving that gorgeous metallic effect, which from different angles can appear as different colors. Clear instructions should be given to you when you purchase your designs.

 

The Colored Opal and Opal film can be used with confidence on items that needs to be washed and ironed, the film will not be affected, however I will not recommend high heat or dry cleaning. Do not iron directly on the film, rather iron under a clean dishcloth.  The standard colors colors can be used on creative projects like totes, greeting cards, purses and bags, FSL ornaments etc.  Standard colors should not be used on items that need laundering in any way
