1. DESIGNING ON FABRIC:
•Choose a thin material that you want to PERMANENTLY design (not included).
NOTE: Thick fabrics like denim may not work with the clamp.
•Remove the screen frame and platform from the design station. Keep the frame and
platform o of the station as you design.
• Open the screen frame and place the top cover platform in between your layers of fabric. (Fig. 1A)
• Clamp down one side of the frame and stretch the material tightly. Then, clamp down the other side.
•Lift the tab on the screen frame and slide in a stencil. Then, lay it at over the material
until you hear a snap. (Fig. 1B)
•If the stencil has multiple designs, but you choose to only use one, place scrap paper
over the designs you do not wish to ll in.
•Add a tip to your desired gel tube and draw thick vertical lines down the stencil.
Alternate colors for unique designs.
•Use the large squeegee to push the gel evenly over the stencil.
•Use the small squeegee if you are only designing over part of the stencil.
•Fill in any gaps with extra gel and squeegee again.
•Immediately remove the stencil by lifting the tab and sliding the stencil out.
•Allow your design to dry overnight.
•For layered designs, wait for the rst color to dry before adding the layered stencil
and adding more color.
2. GEL TRAYS:
•Clamp the frame over the platform. Insert the frame onto the station at an angle
and snap down to lock in place.
• Place your gel tray over the top cover platform.
• Use two or more colors to complete your design.
•Draw thick vertical lines down the tray.
•Align the large squeegee with the raised edges of the gel tray and push the gel back and forth
evenly over the tray. (Fig. 2A)
•Fill in any gaps with extra gel and squeegee again.
•Wait for the design to dry completely (usually overnight).
•Peel and fold over half of the design, but keep it in the tray.
•Add lines of gel on the inside edges of the clutch to secure it, avoiding the fold over ap. (Fig. 2B)
•Place a heavy book over the clutch while it dries.
•Once the design is dry, peel it o of the gel tray.
•Align the snaps so that they will close properly. Then, add a dollop of gel
behind each snap and secure them to the clutch. Allow the snaps to dry before using.
3. TEMPLATES & CLEAR DRAWING SHEET:
•Secure the template and clear drawing sheet to the work surface with masking tape.
• Slowly squeeze the tube over the template and clear drawing sheet.
• Always make sure gel lines and dierent colors are touching.
•To make your designs sturdy, overlap lines and make designs thick.
•Reinforce thin spots by adding extra gel.
•Rotate the template and clear drawing sheet as you design.
•Wipe o the tip to remove excess gel before starting a new design technique or project
to keep designs neat and precise.
•Make patches! Design directly on the clear drawing sheet, let your design dry, then peel o!
Outline the back of the design with gel and attach it to fabric or a gel clutch!
CLEANING, REPAIRING & STORING
•If you make a mistake, wipe the gel o of the clear drawing sheet
with a paper towel before it hardens.
•To repair a broken piece, reapply gel over the broken section
and wait for it to dry.
•To clean the tips, allow gel in the tip to harden.
Then use the cleaning tool to scoop out the hardened gel.
•After designing, store all components inside of the station,
underneath the top cover platform and screen frame.
Store gel downward in the stand.
DRYING & WEARING
•Wait for the rst color to dry before adding additional colors
to your design.
•Dry times may vary. For best results, allow designs to dry overnight.
•Always remove the stencils from the screen frame
immediately after designing before your creations dry.
•Don’t stretch your nished projects or they might break.
•Hand wash fabrics with gel designs inside out and hang dry.
