INTERFACING & STABILISERS FOR QUILTING AND SEWING PROJECTS.

Interfacings and stabilizers are used in sewing and other textile crafts to add structure, stability, and durability to fabrics.

Interfacing is a type of material that is placed between layers of fabric to add structure and stability. It is commonly used in collars, cuffs, waistbands, and other garments that need to hold their shape. Interfacings come in many types, including woven, non-woven, and fusible varieties. Woven interfacing is a tightly woven fabric that adds structure without bulk. Non-woven interfacing is made of bonded fibres to create a stable layer. Fusible interfacing has an adhesive on one side that is activated with heat, making it easy to attach to the fabric.

Stabilizers, on the other hand, are materials that prevent distortion or stretching of fabrics during sewing or embroidery. They are instrumental when working with delicate or stretchy fabrics or machine embroidery. Stabilizers come in many types, including tear-away, cut-away, and wash-away varieties. Tear-away stabilizer is a paper-like material that is removed after sewing or embroidery is complete. Cut-away stabilizer is a heavier material that is trimmed away after complete sewing or embroidery. Wash-away stabilizer dissolves in water, leaving no residue behind.

Interfacings and stabilizers are essential for achieving a professional-looking finished product in sewing and other textile crafts. Adding structure and stability to fabrics can help ensure that your finished project looks and wears as intended.
