Nortex Mill White Heavyweight Fusible Iron On Interfacing Fabric (Per Metre)

Product Information

This off-white material can be used to back smooth curtain weight fabric to create your own unique roller blinds. Even if you never plan on actually sewing, knowing how to make fabric stiffener means you’ll be able to use the knowledge for all sorts of arts and crafts including the stiffened bowls created out of lace doilies, so popular at weddings.

Dip whole pieces of fabric into the solution, mold them into the desired shape, and hang them out to dry. There are commercial stiffening agents available that spray on and keep the fabric stiff while you work with the sculpture or craft of your choice.

Today boning is still a preferred way to stiffen a ball gown or dance outfit, or even a bridal gown. Allow the rice water you poured off to cool a bit and when safe to handle, use it to stiffen fabric. It is very important to wash your fabric BEFORE adding the interfacing so that any shrinkage that may take place has been done so before adding the interfacing. This Black Medium Weight Interfacing makes it easy to add strength and sturdiness to parts of your project effortlessly. Crafting with fabrics has become more popular as people realize what a great medium fabric is to work with.

By sizes I mean it can be bought by the yard, in narrow pre-cut rolls, in strips or in squares or rectangles. Cover the fabric and buckram with a damp cloth and press the iron onto the fabric for 10-15 seconds at a time until you have covered the whole surface, or the buckram is glued to the fabric.This first tack down just helps ensure that the interfacing and fabric are lined up correctly and won’t shift around when the big pressing begins. For clothes that will be washed remember the stiffener, unless it is a particular glue type stiffener will wash out, and you will need to treat the fabric again once washed. Discover a variety of interfacing types, including fusible, sew-in, and iron-on options, all crafted to meet your specific needs. Sometimes you’ll use interfacing to stiffen fabric and other times you will want to try home-made or commercially available fabric stiffeners. Sewing stiffeners have an advantage over many of the crafting spray methods in that both interfacing and boning will remain even after washing.
