      Guide to Interfacings - Kristine Poor

      Introduction

      What is interfacing? Interfacing is the layer of fabric between the outer garment or project and the lining or facing. It shapes, supports, and stabilizes. Most projects last longer and look more professional with suitable interfacing.

      Choosing and using interfacings properly makes such a difference in the outcome of your project. Use this guide to help you get started in the world of interfacings.

      How Do You Choose?

      The pattern supply list should serve as a guide to choosing interfacing. It is good to know why a certain interfacing has been recommended, especially when you want to get creative and start using fabrics other than what has been suggested.

      There are three main types of interfacing:

      1.   Woven—This interfacing is produced just like fabric and is generally more durable than a nonwoven.

      2.   Nonwoven—This type of interfacing is made from polyester fibers bonded together to form a fabric. It will exhibit little or no shrinkage and will not ravel.

      3.   Knit—This soft interfacing has stretch and can be used with both woven and knit fabrics.

      General Tips

      TESTING YOUR INTERFACING

      Because there are no right or wrong answers when choosing interfacing, it is always best to test before you get started. This will ensure that you get the result that you want.

      COLOR

      There are dark interfacings as well as light. In some cases when using a dark fabric, light interfacing may show through (and vice versa), so this is something to consider when choosing your interfacing.

      DRAPE OR STIFFNESS

      There are lightweight to heavyweight interfacings on the market. The more support you need, the stiffer the interfacing. Try this at the store: Lay your fabric over the interfacing—are you getting the result that you want? Try different weights until you are satisfied with your choice.

      FUSIBLE VS. SEW-IN APPLICATION

      Choosing between a fusible and a sew-in interfacing depends on personal preference, the fabric, and the degree of firmness
