This fusible interlining is made up of a plain weave cotton backed with a layer of quality adhesive that activates when exposed to heat (a hot iron). This backing adheres well to fabric without making bubbles. Because it is woven, it inhibits stretch.
This fusible interlining is useful for adding stiffness to fabric and to help it hold its shape better. It can be used as an interface in places like collars, button areas, and along seams in fabrics that tend to fray easily. But it can also be used as an interlining for entire pattern pieces. Medium-weight fusible interlining is useful for adding strength and stiffness even to thicker materials, for example in corset making.
The fabric weight listed includes the adhesive layer.
Iron in a slow, steady movement from the center of the piece to the edge. Press down firmly on the iron; pressure is as important as heat when applying fusible interlining. If the fashion fabric allows, garments incorporating this interlining may be washed warm (40°C or 104°F) or dry cleaned.
Generally, pre-shrinking is needed for linen, cotton, and rayon, but for finer fabrics (light rayon, Tencel and modal) proceed with care – don't use hot water or a hot iron, simply launder the fabric the way you will be laundering the completed garment.
Most of our fabrics are one-time offers that last until they are sold out. However, some more popular items are always restocked or can be ordered on request. As a rule, this applies to notions, where the selection is pretty consistent, but may also include some types of fabric. Look at the product's availability value – it shows whether the goods are available while supplies last, in the core inventory or in a seasonal collection.
The goods in the seasonal collection come directly from our verified manufacturers. We change up the colors on offer from season to season but fabric quality is always constant. For large (wholesale) orders, colors that have been sold out can be reordered individually.
Limited editions are fabrics of exceptional quality or patterns that have been designed and produced exclusively under the Sartor brand. As a rule, they do not repeat and are therefore only available while supplies last. Don't miss your chance to own a true original.
