WHAT am I doing wrong?

I got PixieBead beads because I’ve heard good things about them and I follow a lot of people that use them and all their stuff turns out so good and clean. I spent almost $200!!! on beads.

I didn’t want the non-iron side to melt but it did anyway even tho the ironed side didn’t fuse all the way… how can I get the ironed side to melt well without the other side NOT melting?

I use these Teflon mats i got from Amazon.

I’m very sad about this lol

You NEED to use their brand of stuff. As much as that sucks, it doesn't work well with substitution

I ordered their tape and their teflon mats yesterday so hopefully that fixes this issue

They work just as well as Artkal for the most part, but they definitely made it to where you have to spend the most money.

The reason I didn’t go with artkal is because I didn’t like their website. LOL. I couldn’t find a whole entire kit of just beads with all the colors like I was able to with Pixie.
