Fusible interfacing is the easiest and most affordable way to reinforce your fabrics

Fusible interfacing is the easiest and most affordable way to reinforce your fabrics. It's available in several types including woven and nonwoven. You can choose from light, medium, or heavy weight. Lightweight and medium weight interfacing are perfect for light and medium weight fabrics, while heavyweight interfacing is good for heavier fabrics.

If you're making a quilt or a garment that will be washed hundreds or even thousands of times, choose fusible interfacing that will hold together. This type of interfacing has an adhesive that will hold the fabric's threads together. However, don't count on it to completely prevent fraying. Using fusible interfacing is only a temporary solution for fraying, and you may have to try using another type of interfacing before you find one that will work.

Fusible interfacing comes in sheets, rolls, and tiny tapes. It can be purchased online and from fabric stores. Some fabric stores sell quilting patterns that come with printed fusible interfacing. Some interfacing patterns will also include sewing and cut lines. You can also find specialty fusible interfacing like grids or perforated sheets.

You can use polyester non-woven interfacing to make a variety of projects. It can also be used in making home decor items, including cushions, bags, and purses. It's also useful for making quilts and linings. You can also use fusible fleece for padding and interlining.

The best way to use fusible interfacing is by following the manufacturer's instructions. It's usually applied to the wrong side of fabric, and can add structure, stiffness, and body to your garment. This type of interfacing can work with many types of fabrics, and is easy to apply.

For lightweight interfacing, cut the pieces to the size of the quilt squares you're going to use. The smaller pieces will help to avoid melting the glue on your iron. Place the interfacing on your fabric with the adhesive side facing down. Turn on the iron to the appropriate setting, and the fabric will adhere to the interfacing. The interfacing will hold the fabric in place and resist stretching.
