Interfacing is a stiffening agent used in many sewing projects. There are many different types available. The weight of each type is indicated on the pattern envelope. Most of the fabric is white, although there are also gray and black interfacing materials. The weight of interfacing material used in a sewing project will depend on the type of project. In some cases, heavier weight interfacing may be required. If you are unsure of what weight is best for your project, experiment and see what results in you get.

Interfacing is a woven or non-woven fabric that adds body and structure to your garment. It is the key to a professional-looking garment. Many novice sewers are unaware of the importance of interfacing. Consider how dress shirts are constructed: They have more substantial collars and plackets, while buttons would rip if interfacing weren't present. Similarly, a saggy garment would look ill if it didn't have interfacing.

If you want to use a heat-activated type of interfacing, it only requires one side to be ironed. The heat from the iron bonds the interfacing with the fashion fabric. This type of interfacing is ideal for ready-to-wear garments, but it can sometimes seep through a loosely woven fabric. It is also not advisable to use this type on extremely textured fabrics. If you don't want to waste any interfacing fabric, consider using a lightweight, plain cotton cloth instead.

There are two kinds of interfacing: knit and non-woven. Knit interfacing is a more stretchy and flexible option, but you should choose the right one for your project. For professional-style garments, woven interfacing will be the most durable option. The latter type will not lose its stiffness over time, so woven interfacing is better suited for such garments. However, if you're sewing a garment for everyday wear, you might want to use non-woven interfacing.
