Iron-on Interfacing & Interlinings

Which fusible interfacing should you choose?

Choosing your interfacing is essential to ensure good support and an impeccable finish for your sewing projects. The fusible interfacing is already attached to the fabric thanks to an adhesive side that reacts to heat.

Depending on the desired effect, you can choose:

• lightweight interfacing for a flexible finish,
• A black fusible interfacing for dark fabrics,
• A sewing fusible interfacing for structured garments,
• A fine fusible interfacing for lightweight and delicate finishes,
• A heavyweight fusible interfacing to add more stiffness and create a strong, durable product.

Among the different options, you will find:

• The woven fusible interfacing, which gives the fabric a natural feel
• The non-woven fusible interfacing, which is more rigid and resistant.

The Vlieseline brand is an essential reference in the world of interfacing and offers quality products suitable for all creations. White fusible interfacing is perfect for providing optimal support to your creations, whether they are hats, pouches, pockets or belts requiring a discreet and effective finish.

How do you use interfacing?

Applying fusible interfacing requires a few precise steps. Use a hot iron without steam to ensure good adhesion. Place the interfacing carefully on the desired area. Always test it on a scrap of fabric before permanently attaching it.

Steam application is sometimes recommended depending on the type of interfacing. Make sure to attach it without using too much moisture. Washing care depends on the fusible interfacing chosen. Some models withstand high temperatures. Others require a delicate cycle or a preliminary test on a small area.

Fusible interfacing is essential for reinforcing fabric, maintaining its shape and preventing stretching. Correct application ensures a perfect fit and greater durability for your creations.

1. Prepare the fusible interfacing and the fabric : Select the right type of woven interfacing or non-woven interfacing according to the fabric’s weight and composition. For lightweight fabrics such as silk, use a fine fusible interfacing. For thick fabrics, choose a heavyweight fusible interfacing.
2. Cut and position : Cut the interfacing along the grainline and according to the required width. Place the fusible interfacing adhesive side against the wrong side of the fabric to prevent it from moving.
3. Attach with a hot iron : Apply steam or not according to the recommendations. Press onto the fabric, applying pressure without sliding to ensure good adhesion.
4. Check and finish : Leave it to cool, then assess the result by testing the strength of the adhesion. If necessary, attach it correctly a second time.
5. Tips : Always test on a scrap, avoid sliding the iron and allow it to cool before handling. Washing care must be adapted to the fused fabric.

By following these steps, using fusible interfacing ensures a successful sewing project, with a stable structure, an impeccable finish and increased longevity.

What types of interfacing are available?

Woven interfacing follows the movement of the fabric. It offers good flexibility. Non-woven interfacing is more rigid. It stabilizes the material more effectively. There are lightweight, medium-weight and heavyweight fusible interfacings. Lightweight fusible interfacing is suitable for blouses and fine fabrics. Medium-weight fusible interfacing is perfect for jackets and dresses. Heavyweight fusible interfacing is used for coats and accessories. Each interfacing has its own range and composition depending on the type of sewing.

How do you reinforce fabric?

A well-chosen interfacing helps reinforce and stabilize fabrics by giving them more structure. It is essential to choose a product that can stiffen the fabric without distorting it. For certain garments, particularly shirts and jackets, it is important to maintain the shape of the collar and cuffs. Quality interfacing ensures good support, adds stability and provides reinforcement for areas requiring more support, such as yokes. Good fusible interfacing also helps prevent stretching of the fibers and prevents the fabric from sagging after several washes, thanks to its highly resistant synthetic acetate-based adhesive.

Which sewing projects can use it?

Fusible interfacing can be used for any sewing project. It is particularly recommended for the creation of garments such as shirts, dresses, coats and jackets that require better support. It is also used to make accessories such as bags, hats and other textile decorative elements. Depending on the fabric and the desired effect, it is important to adapt your choice of fusible interfacing to ensure a harmonious result.

What is the difference between woven and non-woven interfacing?

Woven interfacing is designed to follow the structure of the fabric and integrate naturally into the material. It is more flexible and lightweight, perfect for garments requiring discreet reinforcement. Non-woven interfacing, on the other hand, is more rigid and provides support to pieces that need it. Each fusible interfacing has specific characteristics in terms of weight, thickness and structure, and it is essential to choose the right interfacing according to the fabric being reinforced to ensure optimal durability.
