Lutradur 25 - 20" (51cm) x 1m White

Lutradur is a non woven polyester material. It looks very similar to a dressmakers interfacing, but has a unique, spun woven structure, making it see through. It comes in three different weights; the lighter the material, the easier it is to see through it.

It is a very versatile material. It doesn’t fray, has a slight sheen, is see through and can be combined with all other types of material. Lurtradur can be painted, dyed, distressed with a soldering iron or heat gun, glued, stitched, embroidered, in fact there seems to be no limits to what you can do with Lutradur! It is also suitable for paper arts, such as making books, altered books, card making and postcards.

The heavier weights of Lutradur can be run through the printer without backing paper; however, because of the structure of the material, some of the ink is inevitably lost. The lighter weights can be run through attached to freezer paper; again, the lighter the paper, the greater the ink loss. However experimentation with your printer settings is worth while.

Disperse dyes are suitable for dyeing Lutradur. These dyes are painted onto paper and then transferred by ironing the dye onto the material. They are also available in crayon form

If it works on cloth, it’ll work on Lutradur! However, if you use thick paint, you will lose the see through nature of the cloth. Better to work with washes of paint. Works well with pens and pencils too!

It is possible to use both a heat gun and soldering iron for distressed effects; it tolerates the heat of a hot iron in the transfer dyeing process, but if you leave the iron on the material too long, you can also produce a distressed effect, sometimes when you didn’t intend it!

If you want to intensely embroider Lutradur consider the weight of Lutradur you are using, and how you are using it. As with any other material, the lighter the weight, the more distortion is likely when you stitch intensively into an area. The heavier weights will take a lot of stitching; the lighter weights, if fused onto a supporting material (which would be visible through the Lutradur) can also be stitched like this.

Great for hand use and as a base cloth for the embellisher.
