Interfacing and Batting for Stability, Shape and Volume
Interfacing and batting perform important functions in sewing projects. They can stabilize fabric, add volume, shape areas or reinforce specific sections. Depending on the project, you may need a lightweight interfacing, a firmer stabilizer or a more voluminous batting.
Which Interfacing Is Right for Your Project?
– for collars, cuffs or bags, consider the amount of structure you need
– with batting, compare thickness and the desired padding effect
– check whether the product is fusible or designed to be sewn in
– match the material and care properties to your outer fabric
The product details provide information about application and recommended uses. With fusible interfacing, a test on a fabric offcut is a good idea so you can check the temperature, adhesion and final handle before applying it to the main project.
