When we do embroidery or heat press fleece or even sweaters we use a clothing steamer and that brings the fibers right back up no ring from the hoop from embroidery or press marks from a heat press. it's far easier then washing them. I have also heard of tossing them in a dryer that has a "fluff" setting works to but never tried that.
Press marks on Fleece
I am using Fibron from Fellers to press a design and letters onto fleece. Client is using it to make a small cape for little ones. The issue I have is the press mark on the fleece after pressing. I have pressed fleece for sublimation with no negative results. I'm assuming the higher pressure is the cause. My question is does anyone have a suggestion to eliminate or remove the press mark? I've read through the forum and found suggestions for raising the area of the design. I have no issue doing that I simply don't want to throw out what's already pressed. My other concern is the pressure would still be the same for that area would it not? I plan to wash the piece to see if that brings the fibers back up and even with the non-pressed areas. any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Steamer makes sense. Using fluff will add something to the fabric. Not sure that is a good thing.When we do embroidery or heat press fleece or even sweaters we use a clothing steamer and that brings the fibers right back up no ring from the hoop from embroidery or press marks from a heat press. it's far easier then washing them.

Using soft pad to raise the shirt will cushion the pressure applied to the fabric and will not compress the fabric.I am using Fibron from Fellers to press a design and letters onto fleece.

I'll try the steamer and pad. Thank you very much.
