Unlike other materials used to make clothing, non woven interlinings do not need weft knitting. Instead, the fabric is created by directly bonding the fiber to the fabric. They are available in several different sizes, colors and textures. They can be very lightweight or very stiff. They are suitable for collars, cuffs and sleeve bands, and jacket lapels. They also have the ability to be cut easily.

The first type of interlining was woven, and was mainly 100% cotton fabrics that were stiffened by starch or starch-like glue. These were used to reinforce clothing in the fashion industry. They were also used to support the outer shell fabric.

Another type of interlining is fusible. This is a material that is bonded to the outer fabric by heat. It is available in a variety of sizes and thicknesses, and can be used for collars, cuffs and neckbands. They are also used in handbags and luggage. It is often used as a reinforcement for leather goods. It is also used to stiffen the cuffs of formal shirts. These interlinings are available in white and black. They are usually sold in 10 or 100 yards of fabric. They are also available in stretch varieties. The adhesive used to bond the fusible interlining fabric is 50 percent polyester and 50 percent polyamide.

The next type of interlining is printable. This type of interlining is used to replace traditional fusible interlinings. It is also environmentally friendly, and can be easily and inexpensively manufactured. The process involves using a coating machine. The machine uses hot melt adhesive to achieve a bonding effect. It is then heated to achieve resistance to water washing. This technique is appropriate for woven and knitting fabrics. It is also useful for reinforcing parts of jackets. It is also suitable for woolen and leather substrates.
