| Friday Fun Fact! It's time for Interfacing Part 2! Did you miss Interfacing Part 1 last week? See it here! Now that we know what interfacing is and when to use it, how to choose the right one? First, choose woven or non-woven. Woven interfacings (including knit and weft types) are always best for garments. Use non-woven interfacings for home decor, bags, and crafts. Non-wovens are often too heavy and crisp for garments, and can't withstand repeated washing and wear. Next, choose fusible or sew-in. Fusible interfacings stick to your fabric with a hot iron. They're easy and convenient to use, but over time the adhesive may fail, and some fabrics may not be able to withstand the high iron temperatures needed for a good fuse. Sew-in or non-fusible interfacing has no adhesive; you simply baste it into place. Catch it in the seam allowance as you sew to fix permanently in place. It's a little more tedious, but can be more permanent, though sometimes the layers can shift. Finally, use your fabric's weight as your guide. Your interfacing should always be lighter than your fabric! And a fusible will always get crisper after fusing. Click here to shop interfacing! Do you have more interfacing questions? Ask us! We are always happy to help match the perfect interfacing to your fabric. |
  There's even more! Next week we'll share interfacing part 3 with our favorite recommendations! |
