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.
Colors & Technique: Sonic vs Metal Sonic
The Sonic vs Metal Sonic design is built around 14 bead colors, with blue (Dark Navy, Navy) carrying most of the 2304 beads. On a 48Γ48 grid that density keeps large areas in single-color runs, so you can fill the background zones while watching a show and save the detail rows β the outline and facial features β for when you want full concentration. Medium heat and slow circles when ironing keep the blue areas from over-fusing; a 1.5-3 minute build at hard difficulty.
Where It Shines
Where does the Sonic vs Metal Sonic pattern fit in a real collection? Its 48Γ48 footprint and 2304-bead count place it in the display tier: too detailed for a first project, but a satisfying second or third build. The blue lead color and 14-color span mean one mid-size jar of each shade covers it with leftovers. Group it with other sonic designs on a pegboard wall or shadow box for a rotating exhibit.

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.
