INTERFACING! Stop GUESSING and let's talk where, when and HOW to use it!

Interfacing? Stabilising? Fusing? What is it? HELP! Stabilising and interfacing your garments are REALLY important steps and you CAN'T skip them so let's break it all down to the basics and demystify the jargon! Crazily this is like the main thing a pattern envelope doesn't tell you right? So how on earth are you meant to know what it is and what you need to buy? Then you get to the store where there are WALLS of the stuff and it all has different names! This is when you panic and think 'nah, I don't need it, I'll manage without' - WRONG! Think of a smooth, sharp collar. Without interfacing it would't look anything like that, it would be flat and wrinkly, no nice corners or edges, totally wonky, it just wouldn't be what you would expect of a collar and this is all down to interfacing. If we break it all down though, you can get to know what types of interfacing there are and when to use them, that's what this video is all about. Interfacing stabilses a section of a garment that needs some structure and a bit of body, the fabric on its own can't really do that. I'll show you some different types such as iron-on/fusible and sew-in interfacings as well as wovens, non-wovens and knits. There are even a couple of more specialised ones at the end. As well as learning how to choose an interfacing, you'll get to know the benefits of each and how to match them to the fabric of the garment you're making. I've got some Hot Tips! about buying, stashing and using interfacing to get the best results too! What have been your biggest challenges when it's come to stabilising your garment?
