New Size!!! Terial Magic Fabric Spray - 16 oz. Spray Bottle (16-Ounce)

This Terial Magic really is magic! You just spray it on fabric, let sit a few minutes in plastic bag and then use a dry iron to completely dry it. The fabric feels paperish which makes it very easy to cut. Shipping was very fast.

I love this stuff! It’s pricey, but worth every penny if you like the beautiful fabrics of Stonehenge or others that tend to ravel. It does make fabric stiffer, but it softens up as you work with it & this product washes out with the first wash of your completed project. Stiffer fabrics are easier to work with anyway. If you’ve ever been frustrated by dark fabric threads showing through light fabrics in your quilt & you couldn’t find black batting to camouflage them, you’ll love this. I did put mine in a mister for a lighter coverage. The only problem I had was that it left dark spots on navy Kona when I let it drip at the end of misting, but I didn’t see any of that on the Stonehenge prints. Since it was a king size quilt for a guest bedroom, I won’t be washing it any time soon so I just didn’t use that area. I’ve also used this on other manufacturers’ fabrics without any issues, but I’m more careful about moving the mister until it has totally stopped dripping.

I started working with a desktop print and cut system. In order to cut fabric it needs to be stabilized. I first tried the stabilizer sold by the company that makes the equipment. But it proved to be difficult to work with and ended up with a very bulky residue that was hard to get rid of and made the fabric a challenge to sew. A person in my Facebook group told me about Terial Magic and I found it lived up to its "Magic" name. It was easy to apply and turned the fabric into a paper like consistency. So much so that I was able to cut the fabric using a large paper cutter that I use to cut dozens of sheets of paper. I never dreamed of cutting fabric with it but it worked a dream. The print function in my print and cut equipment uses a metal tip. With that company's stabilizer, the pen snagged the fabric and did a mediocre job of drawing lines. With the Magic stabilizer the lines were perfect. But best of all working on quarter-scale prototypes of designs I have found I don't need to remove the Magic stabilizer because it does not make the fabric stiff like the other stabilizer did. It makes the sewing process a dream. I have no intention of experimenting with other stabilizer products.

I took one star away because This did not come with the spray top. I did want to try it as a spray but I have plenty of spray bottles although it should have come with the spray top then I wouldn’t have to use one of my other bottles. Mainly I bought it to put in one of those little pins so I can put it on directly on creases and seems and I did try it out and it seems to do quite well. I have only had time to try it on a piece of scrap fabric. I haven’t had time to sit and so in a while and I’m going to be doing some sewing later today hopefully and I’ll be trying it out but from what I saw on the scrap fabric, it works very well for creases and hopefully seems as well. I think I will like this product quite a bit definitely worth a try.

I was a little concerned when I opened the package and it was wet inside. Fortunately, the product was well packaged and everything seems intact. I think the lid was a little loose and some liquid escaped. It is so much fun to use this and discover new uses all the time. I have only begun to experiment and am excited about new possibilities - cards, scrapbooking, applique, etc. Two things I did not realize until I read the label, the 16 oz size only covers up to 3 yds fabric and Terial only has a shelf-life of 7 days after it is opened. Now, I am wondering if leaking counts.

I used this on a poly-cotton twill (60% poly, 40% cotton). I was hoping there would be enough cotton fiber to absorb the product. Apparently not. The fabric was not any stiffer and there are obvious "blotches" where the product dried on the surface instead of being absorbed. At least I can wash it out. But I'm still left trying to figure out how to prevent puckering on dense machine embroidery designs. Keeping the product for use on cottons.

Great for stiffing fabric before using decorative stiches

Easy to use and gives great stiffness to fabric for cutting
