Terial magic australia

Is Terial Magic safe?
Yes. Terial Magic is non-toxic, and its main ingredient is an organic compound. Because it is not starch, insects will not be drawn to your fabric work over time. Terial Magic is also cruelty-free. Terial Magic is water-soluble and soaks or washes out easily.

Will Terial Magic discolor fabric?
Terial Magic is made from an organic compound that has slight color to it and binds to the fabric, so if you do not saturate the entire piece of fabric, wherever it is binding, the fabric will appear slightly darker. If you are not going to wash Terial Magic out of your fabric, we highly recommend you treat the entire fabric piece.

Terial Magic may also change the sheen on shiny fabrics.

However, your fabrics will return to the original color and shine after it is rinsed or washed out.

Does Terial Magic leave residue on your iron?
No. Note that if you iron-treated fabric while it is still very wet, Terial Magic may crystalize (gel up) on the iron or the fabric. This gel easily wipes off. Let the treated fabric air dry until it is damp before ironing.

Will Terial Magic leave a residue on my sewing machine needle?
No. Terial Magic doesn't “gunk up” your sewing needles or machines.

Is Terial Magic useful for all fabrics, including felt and vinyl?
Terial Magic was designed for fabrics that may fray or limp fabrics that need to have a firmer hand. When treated with Terial Magic, t-shirt cotton, batik, velvet, silk, wool, and many natural-fiber fabrics become stable. Terial Magic makes so many sewing tasks easier!

Is treated fabric difficult to cut?
Treated fabric is much easier to handle and cut. The treated fabric is very stable and will not shift or stretch as you are cutting. Plus, fewer pins are needed to hold pattern pieces down on the fabric, making rotary cutting a breeze!

How well does treated fabric iron?
Treated fabric can be ironed easily. Use a spritz of water or steam for stubborn wrinkles or creases. Treated fabric will easily finger-press one-quarter-inch turns for machine appliqué. Sewn seams can be finger pressed open to save time when piecing.

Product Review: Terial Magic

As a quilter and crafter, I’ve tried the more traditional ways to stabilize my fabrics – using spray starch and using Best Press. So, when I was asked to try out Terial Magic, I wasn’t sure how excited I would be. Spoiler alert: I was VERY excited!

Terial Magic is a liquid that comes in a spray bottle. It works a little different than starch or best press. You spray it on your fabric, wring out the fabric, allow it to dry somewhat, then iron.

I started by spraying the Terial Magic on a couple pieces of red fabric. It smelled a little like shampoo, and feels a little like a diluted conditioner. So, not at all unpleasant to the senses. It was so easy to use, that I dug some more fabric out of my scrap bin, and went to town!

The instructions say to allow the Terial Magic to sit for 15 minutes. I waited more than 30, and it could have waited even longer. The pieces that were draped over the sides of the tub were nicer to iron than those laying at the bottom of the tub.

When ironing, I was very worried about the Terial Magic gunking up the bottom of my iron, or (even worse), getting scorch marks on my fabric. Anyone who has ever stiffened fabric with spray starch has cried when they iron just a little too long, scorching the fabric. I didn’t have any of these issues when using the Terial Magic on quilting cottons (keep reading for the issues I had with felt).

On the fabric that was more damp, the iron didn’t glide easily. It would stick to the soleplate of the iron. But, it was easy to get off, and I didn’t have any scorch marks.

Once the fabric was ironed, it was slightly stiffer than a piece of copy paper – not quite as stiff as cardstock. It was like adding a fusible stabilizer or interfacing, without the added bulk. It was stiffer than using Best Press. The stiffness was comparable to using a heavy spray starch – but the stiffness was completely uniform – which is hard to achieve with spray starch.

The first thing I wanted to do with it was try a little origami. So, I whipped up an origami box. Though the fabric didn’t crease quite like paper, the box came out great. However, for a design that needs sharp crease lines for perfect orientation, you might need to use a bone folder to make sure you get deep creases.

Next, I thought I’d get a little crafty, using stiffened fabric to whip up a flower. Again, it worked great!

As a quilter, I wanted to try it for quilting. I’m most careful about stiffening fabrics when making mini quilts. Tiny blocks, especially triangle blocks which are stitched on the bias, get out of whack so easily. And on small pieces, 1/8″ is enough to keep points from lining up. I made a teeny quilt… with the best results I’ve ever had on a quilt this small.

Not every point was perfect – but many were spot-on. And even those that were off were only off by a few threads. Which is remarkable when you consider that each block is only one inch finished. The entire quilt (with borders) measures just 6″ x 7″. It can fit in your hand! Now I need to figure out how to quilt and bind something this tiny!

Lastly, I had a lot of scraps of stiffened fabric, and thought I’d make a banner. I cut pieces into triangles, and hot glued them to a length of ribbon. This super simple banner was easy to make, and no fraying at all!

I did try the Terial Magic on felt. I left it to dry for over an hour, then began to iron. As I ironed, the Terial magic formed dandruff-like flakes on the felt. These were brushed away easily, but did make a mess. Some also got caught in the steam holes of the iron. Those were also easily removed, and none of them burned or created scorch marks of any kind on the fabric.

I ironed each piece of a long time, but they were so saturated with Terial Magic, that the didn’t fully stiffen. In the end, I had to leave them to dry overnight, then iron them. This worked, and gave me stiff pieces of felt – about as stiff as cereal box cardboard. I’m not sure yet what I’ll make with them… do you have any crafts you’d make with stiffened felt?

I was very happy with the results I got using Terial Magic, and think it is a great product for both quilters and crafters who like to create with fabric. It creates stiffened fabric that will not fray, and can be used in a variety of differnt ways. I absolutely love that it does not scorch or burn. The only downside is that you do have to let the product dry in the fabric for 15-45 minutes before you can iron it and use it. But if you’re patient, it is well worth it.

Product Review: Terial Magic

Terial Magic™ is a non-aerosol fabric stabilizing spray that was the subject of a demonstration at our most recent meeting of JAMs (Judy’s Altered Minds). Treated with Terial Magic, fabrics do not fray when cut, sewn or ironed, and they hold shapes and folds.

Originally created for use in creating dimensional fabric flowers, Terial Magic can replace stabilizers and fusibles for quilters and embroiderers and keeps fraying in check for all kinds of fiber and mixed media art.

Terial Magic (pronounced like material) was created for use on fabrics that fray at the edge when cut, or lightweight fabrics that need to have more body to be easily handled. For our demonstration, we tested it on cotton and batik, but the manufacturer notes that you can use it on T-shirt jersey, polyester, wool and many other fabrics. Pictured here, clockwise from top: Terial Magic fabric stabilizing spray; origami fabric dress card, dimensional fabric flower (both by Linda Morgan) and fabric die-cut into tag shape.

Treated fabric has a noticeable body, much like a sheet of paper — it is not stiff or plasticky. There is no difference in the fabric’s feel or finish, and colors remain true with no shift lighter or darker. Treated fabric is ideal for:

• creating dimensional flowers and leaves or other 3-D embellishments for fiber art or clothing (the manufacturers do suggest using a clear matte acrylic spray on dimensional fabric flowers to give even more permanence as well as water resistance)
• paper piecing
• cutting appliqué shapes (raw-edge, or easily finger press under ¼" allowances for hand or machine stitching) and any intricate shapes
• machine embroidery (instead of fusible or paper stabilizers)
• computer printing photos and images (example here, a vintage cherub image was computer printed on white fabric treated with Terial Magic. The fabric can be trimmed with clean, no-fray edges and has a paper-like consistency so it goes through printers with no problems or jamming)
• fabric origami (see example below)
• running through electronic cutting machines (see die-cut fabric tag in the photo at top)
• and more!

Above, an origami dress pattern folded from fabric treated with Terial Magic and glued to a paper card base.

The spray is simple to use: place your fabric in a bowl or tray and spray it all over, saturated it thoroughly. (See below image, courtesy of the Terial Arts website, or visit YouTube for a quick video step by step.) If you are treating a larger quantity of fabric, place it in loose folds, and pick it up and rearrange it while spraying to reach everywhere.

Wring the fabric out, to move the product through all the fabric and to remove the excess (we saved the liquid and repoured it into the bottle). Hang the fabric to damp-dry. We were able to hang some fabric outside in the summer sun and it was dry in mere minutes; our friend Linda draped her fabric along the side of her laundry tub, so it took longer.

Once your fabric is damp-dry, iron it to remove any wrinkles. Unlike starch, Terial Magic does not scorch and leaves no residue either on your fabric or you iron’s soleplate. You can also iron completely dry fabric with fine results. If you are using your fabric to create dimensional flowers and leaves, you may wish to let your fabric air-dry completely, leaving the wrinkled texture alone. This gives your fabric leaves and petals a realistic, organic look.

Treated fabric is very easy to stitch: it is stable and will not shift or stretch as you sew, plus there is no residue on your needle or the sewing machine surface.

In the photo above, we began with two strips of 100% cotton fabric: top, untreated; bottom, sprayed with Terial Magic. The same pre-programmed machine stitches were used on both sides, and you can easily see the difference: the treated portion shows flat stitches with no pulls or puckers.

During our demo, we were asked whether this product could be used to create a pleated dress for a doll, and Linda quickly pleated and finger pressed a rectangle of treated fabric (pictured right). We later ironed the pleats in, resulting in knife-like sharpness (see inset) — we had to work to pull the pleats apart in order to get the fabric to spread.

The product has a pleasant, non-chemical scent, — it reminded us of a ‘linen’ scented candle or fabric softener. It has a slippery feel to your skin as you work the product through, similar to a hair conditioner, and easily washes off your hands.

Terial Magic is water soluble and can be washed out of your fabric if desired, e.g., using it to piece and appliqué a quilt. But it is safe to leave in fabrics permanently, which is another notable feature: starched fabrics can attract bugs such as silverfish, especially depending on the climate and humidity levels, which can ruin stored quilts or linens.

Very happy with Terial Magic Spray so far.
The first time I used it, I didn't follow the instructions (I know!) and used it similar to a spray starch, (sprayed it on and ironed it straight away), and had good results with machine embroidery. Next time I followed the manufacturers instructions, and got a great result with a very complex machine embroidery. Every embroidery after that was done using Terial Magic, and I've always been happy with the results.
So I can say that even if you charge in like a bull through a gate and don't do it "the right way", you'll still get a good result.
It's easy to use, doesn't stink, and doesn't gum up the machine needles. Washes out like a dream.
Now I'm looking forward to trying 3D flowers on a quilt wall hanging.

I read the instructions, watched the video, hooped up, sewed a design, MAGICAL!
Many thanks, have a good day, I may never use paper stabilizer again.

Reviews for "Unicorn Conservation: Preserving the Magic for Future Generations"

1. Jessica - 2/5 - I was really excited to read "The Magic of the Unicorn" as I love fantasy and magical creatures. However, I was disappointed with this book. The storyline felt predictable, with cliché characters and a lack of depth. The writing style was also quite basic, without much attention to detail or descriptive language. Overall, I found this book to be underwhelming and would not recommend it to fellow fantasy enthusiasts.

2. Mark - 1/5 - "The Magic of the Unicorn" was a complete letdown. The plot was weak and felt like a rehash of overdone themes in fantasy literature. The characters were flat and lacked any real development or relatability. I found myself struggling to stay engaged throughout the book, as the writing style felt disjointed and lacked coherence. In my opinion, this book was a total waste of time and I would advise others to skip it.

3. Sarah - 2/5 - I had high hopes for "The Magic of the Unicorn" but unfortunately, it failed to deliver. The pacing of the story was all over the place, with random jumps and lack of continuity. The dialogue felt forced and unnatural, making it difficult to connect with the characters. Additionally, the world-building was lacking, leaving many questions unanswered. Overall, I found this book to be mediocre at best and not worth the time invested.
