fabric for interfacing

Common bolt widths include 20 inches with yardages such as 10 or 25 yards. Specialty stabilizers also come in larger sheet sizes (for example, 60" x 72").

Fusible interfacing is iron-on (fusible) and bonds with heat. Boning is inserted and secured by sewing—either by machine or by hand—into a channel or casing.

This lightweight stabilizer is single-sided, fusible and made of 100% polyester. It’s described as made specifically for stretchy, nonwoven T-shirt materials while also working on woven fabrics like cotton.

Thicker craft-weight or extra-firm non-woven interfacing is suggested for handbags, wallets and home decor construction. Midweight interfacings are recommended for general garment support.

Boning is sold on reels in different yardages; product details show examples such as 12-yard and 22-yard reels.
