Q1: What kind of fabric works best?
This design is versatile and looks great on stable materials like cotton, linen, and denim. It also works well on flannel if you use proper stabilization.

Yes, dear! Always iron from the reverse side of the project and use a light pressing cloth to keep the threads safe from high heat.
