Tip: We recommend that you iron the jute before you begin with the engraving process. This ensures great results always!

Colour	Process	Power (%)	Speed (%)	ppi/Hz
Black	Engrave CO₂	75	80	500
Red (scratching)	Cut CO₂	13	1	1000
Blue	Cut CO₂	50	1.5	1000

finishing of laser processed jute fabric

Step 5

Step 5: Finishing

Using either an iron or heat press, straighten the fusible interfacing on the jute fabric. Now place the lace design on the jute and heat press or iron it.

Settings:
Iron: Medium heat (level 2), 8 seconds
Press: 130 - 165°C, 8 seconds

Important: We recommend that before you iron the jute fabric, always place a piece of fabric on the interfacing. This will ensure your material does not stick on the hot surface!

Should you require a more elegant or country look to your material, you can remove single jute threads and create fringes to achieve your desired outcome.
