Keep the iron moving in circles β never park it in one spot. Cover with parchment paper, iron one side, flip carefully, iron the other.
Fuzzy look? Iron slightly less on the pegboard side, then texture with a towel while still warm.
Design Notes: 128Γ128 Pixel Composition
The 128Γ128 grid (9,015 beads, 8 colors) is a large-format advanced design. At this scale, the pattern creates a richly detailed pixel-art piece. Use connected pegboards (4+ boards in a 2Γ2 grid for 128Γ128), iron in sections, and allow extended cooling time under weight. The 8-color palette provides depth and dimension. Display in a shadow box frame for a gallery-quality finish.

Ironing Tips
- π‘Medium heat only β too hot and the beads over-melt and lose shape; too cool and they won't fuse.
- π‘Keep the iron moving in slow circles β staying in one spot melts that area flat.
- π‘Iron both sides and press under a heavy book while cooling to keep it flat.
