Color Interlining SF3553

The color of the interlining should match or complement the main fabric. This is essential for ensuring that the interlining remains invisible and doesn't show through the outer fabric. An imperfect color match can be noticeable, especially in lightweight or semi-sheer fabrics.
Fabric Type: Consider the type of fabric you're working with. Different fabrics require different types of interlining. For example, a lightweight, delicate fabric may require a lightweight fusible interlining, while a heavy wool fabric might need a sturdier interlining for added structure.
Weight and Thickness: Interlinings come in various weights and thicknesses. The weight of the interlining should be chosen based on the desired level of structure and support for the garment. Thicker interlinings provide more body and shape, while lighter ones offer a more natural drape.
Adhesive Type: Fusible interlinings have an adhesive side that bonds to the fabric when heat is applied. The choice of adhesive (temporary, permanent, or repositionable) should match the application and be compatible with the fabric.
Application Method: Consider whether you prefer a sew-in or fusible (iron-on) interlining. Fusible interlinings are quicker and easier to apply but may not be suitable for all fabrics or designs. Sew-in interlinings can be more versatile and are a better choice for delicate or heat-sensitive fabrics.
Washability: Check the care instructions for the interlining. Some fusible interlinings may not withstand certain washing or dry-cleaning methods. Make sure it's appropriate for the care requirements of the garment.
