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: X-wing Rebel Starfighter
At 2630 beads and 10 colors, the X-wing Rebel Starfighter chart sits in the L-tier of our star-wars collection β substantial enough to reward careful color placement, still small enough to finish in one 1.5-3-minute session. The palette runs from Dark Gray through Gray, and the pattern page's color list doubles as a shopping check: every shade is named with its exact bead count, so you can confirm your stash covers the neutral dominant zones before committing.
Where It Shines
Think of the X-wing Rebel Starfighter chart as a 1.5-3-minute project with a display payoff: the 128Γ128 grid, 2630 beads and 10-color palette produce a piece with enough presence for a desk or shelf on its own. The neutral zones photograph well under warm light β worth remembering if you share makes on social media. Pair with simpler star-wars charts when teaching kids or running a craft night; mixed difficulty keeps a group engaged.

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.
