Interfacing, Part 1
Sewists are often challenged by choosing interfacing, but it doesn't have to be hard - we'll walk you through!
First of all - what is interfacing?
Any fabric that you use to invisibly support your main fabric could be considered an interfacing. Most often we use a specially designed product that can be sewn in or fused in place with an iron.
Next - do you need it?
Always use interfacing under buttons & buttonholes, to support and stabilize the fabric.
Interfacing is usually required in collars, to keep them crisp, and waistbands, to prevent stretching.
It's optional but can be helpful at zipper and pocket openings.
For facings at the neck, waist, or armhole, it depends on your fabric! A delicate fabric might need more stabilization than a sturdy one.
