Choosing the Right Interfacing

If you’re not sure what to use, here’s a simple guide to help you get started:

• Lightweight interfacing adds gentle support without changing the feel of your fabric
• Medium weight interfacing is the most commonly used for bag making and works well for most projects
• Heavy or firm interfacing adds strong structure and is ideal for structured bags and panels

Woven interfacings are a popular choice for bag making as they move more naturally with your fabric and are easy to sew on a domestic machine.

Sewing Tips for Best Results

• Use firm, even pressure when fusing interfacing
• A heat press gives the most consistent results, but a domestic iron works well with patience
• Allow interfacing to cool completely before moving your fabric
• Use double sided tape or fabric glue to hold layers in place instead of pins
• Test on a scrap piece first to check bonding and finish
