How to fuse iron-on interfacing to fabric

In this video, I'll show you how to fuse iron-on interfacing to fabric. Interfacing is an extra layer of fabric that is used to make certain parts of a garment thicker and more sturdy. You'll often find it used in button plackets, collars, waistbands and facings. In the tutorial, I'll share all my tips for how to adhere iron-on interfacing to your fabric and prevent puckering or separating.

at 1:32, the cat wanted to remind everyone that sometimes breaks to hang out with furbabies is a necessary part if the sewing process

Thanks for this! I struggle with written instructions and especially with diagrams (I'm legally blind), plus I'm brand new to sewing, so this concisely worded and detailed video was really helpful!

This video was SO HELPFUL!! I made every mistake that you taught me how to correct on my first encounter with interfacing. Thank you for doing this one.

For the most part, the sewing industry has stopped using any interfacing in clothing years ago. For a $100.00 or $200.00 shirt, yes, maybe, but not in average priced clothes at all, not in cuffs, collars or anywhere else. No doubt it’s a big cost saver for manufacturing to eliminate facing, and it’s too bad, as it did an important job by giving a better structure to the garment.

Your lovely talkative kitty made my puppy bark. 😊
And thank you for this comprehensive explanation video.

[meganchambers]

Super helpful thank you!! You would have thought the interfacing I bought might have come with instructions on how to do this, but alas not. I'm thankful for this video!

[constancemettler]

I haven't sewn for some time and it needed a refresher on using fusible interfacing. This reminded me of several of the steps. Thank you.

[jacquelinerose]

I’m a beginner so this is very helpful. Thanks you so much.

[clearlyrebecca]

Clearly your cat had some opinions to share about interfacing too! 😆

I have gone through so many many videos to answer my question...nothing. I am so happy I came across your video, not only did you answer my questions but you made it easy to understand. Thank you thank you 😊

[BarbaraSchiro]

Thank you for this tutorial. I needed to know exactly how to use interfacing and you explained it so very well.

[shanditv]

It was very helpful! Thanks for the towel tip! Completely forgot about that. I came here to see if there was something I needed know but didn't know I needed to know it. That's exactly what I found. Lol hope that makes sense.
