⚡ At a Glance
- • Support and Structure: Reinforces fabrics to hold shape for collars, pockets and appliqué without becoming cardboard-like
- • Best for: Dressmakers, quilters and crafters needing firm but flexible support
- • Not ideal for: Very delicate, non-iron-safe woven fabrics where sew-in interfacing is recommended
Heavy-weight, non-woven fusible interfacing, 75cm wide and supplied in a two-metre length. Fusible backing bonds with heat and pressure, and the fabric remains sewing machine safe.
Stronger Seams and Shapes – With Heavy-Weight Fusible Interfacing
Non-woven heavy-weight construction adds body without layering multiple fabrics, the fusible adhesive on one side bonds when heat and even pressure are applied. Sewing machine safe fibres allow stitching through reinforced areas without specialised needles.
Collars, waistbands and bag panels keep a neater silhouette and resist collapsing under use. Durable seams hold up better during wear and repeated washing.
Faster Application for Small Projects – Thanks to Iron-On Backing
Fusible adhesive activates under a hot iron and even pressure, creating a quick bond to iron-friendly fabrics. For very delicate woven fabrics a sew-in option is recommended instead.
Tailoring and repair work becomes quicker, with no need for basting or temporary stitching. Ideal for last-minute alterations and time-sensitive craft sessions.
Support Without Stiffness – With Non-Woven Fabric Construction
Non-woven fibres distribute support evenly across the area, avoiding rigid patches common with heavy woven interfacings. The result is structured reinforcement that still flexes with the garment.
Finished garments feel more professional without sacrificing comfort or drape. Embroidery and appliqué remain manageable because the fabric stays pliable.
