Fusible interfacing is backed with an adhesive that melts with the heat of an iron, bonding the interfacing to your fabric.
Fusible interfacing is popular because it’s fast and easy to apply.
Always test fusible interfacing first by applying it to a scrap of your garment fabric. This is to make sure it fuses properly to your fabric, that the adhesive doesn’t melt through to the other side, and that you like the degree of stiffness it produces.
So why not use fusible interfacing all the time? Because it doesn’t bond well to some fabrics, like those that are highly textured. And it’s not appropriate for napped fabrics like
velvet or fake fur – the pressing required to bond the interfacing to the fabric would crush the pile. And it’s not suitable for fabrics that can’t take the heat of an iron like
metallics, beaded or sequined fabrics, or vinyl. And it’s not so great for open weave fabrics like laces and meshes because the adhesive would melt through to the other side. Plus, fusible interfacings tend to stiffen fabric more – a look and feel you may not want.
