Looking at different types of interfacing

Whether you sew bags or clothes, from time to time, you’ll need to use an interfacing on your projects and it can often be difficult to choose which one works best with which project.

Most sewing patterns usually will not list a suggested interfacing product, because availability varies so widely that what is available in one area or country, can not be found in another area, making a person in that area reluctant to buy a pattern when the stipulated interfacing can’t be used.

So let’s take a look at a few examples today and you can see in the video how they change the structure of the fabric in each case.

Gluing the lightweight interface over the heavy/firm one is genius! Exactly the tip I needed for my current project!

This is by far the most informative video on interfacing I’ve found so far. Thank you! As a new sewer it can seem daunting with all the different interfacing options to pick the right one and sadly the staff at my local fabric store are not very helpful and get annoyed when you ask questions. I feel like I can pick out what I need with confidence now after watching your video.

It's sad that the Pellon website doesn't have anywhere near the information about their own product that you provide here. Such a comprehensive education you provide here. Thank you so much!

So many products out on the market but not enough instruction. This video is so informative with visual as well as an audio explanation. Wonderful! Thank you!

This has been the BEST demonstration of interfacing I have ever seen on YouTube or any other platform. For that, I have subscribed and liked. It is a good reference to rewatch when investing in bag ideas. Thanx.

One of the most useful tutorials on different type of interfacing that I have come across. Thank you.

Fabulous video. I ordered Shapeflex 101 after seeing your video. I had been using a non woven fleece before and found I didn’t like the bulk.
This was brilliant. Thanks

Your wonderful instructional video far far surpasses all the many I have watched on interfacing. I finally feel like I can now choose and order some that will apply to the job. Thank you ever so much!

This was incredibly helpful for a guy who knew nothing about interfacing or which kind to buy. Thank you for making this video!

[pebblecritter]

Thank you for this! I can see this video is a few years old but the information is timeless!

[canisamator]

That was so helpful! I'm a new sewist & asked my mom about interfacing and she didnt know- She's been sewing since childhood!

[irenezewski]

Where have you been all my life!?!? THIS is what I've been looking for. Thank you so so much!!

Good morning ☕️. You know how you do something (in this case use interfacing) for decades but don't know WHY you do it but you do it because that's what you were taught? Well, that's me ... until now ‼️ Talk about a revelation 😻. Can't thank you enough for THE MOST ILLUMINATING TUTORIAL since I learned not to just scoop flour out of the bin when baking 😝. Blessings to you for the blessing you just gave me! ❤️️

[aprildamski]

Thank you so much for this video! Very informative, and easy to understand.

[olivewoo]

Definitely the best teaching I’ve seen. Tfs

[lynetterene]

Best video of interfacing I have seen...just what I needed. Kudos to you and your demonstrations as well

Appreciate that information as I was not sure about the differences for bag making. Watched before I started thank you very much.

[lizbarber]

[bonniebell]

Thank you very much for explaining the different interfaces. I wasn't sure about which one to use for my project but now it makes more sense.
