Stabilizing your fabrics is a very important step when sewing garments.
I test different fusible interfacing and show you the results of pressing with steam and with out steam.

thank you Elsabe for this information
the book "Tailoring" will have an ISBN number if people interested in buying
Thanks!! Battled with interfacing coming loose forever to huge frustrasion and been playing with different methods myself as well. This is a fast forward on my efforts! Thanks
Hi Elainne, I am so glad that this is helpful. Let me know once you test your fusible interfacing with the steam.
Thank you for your thorough explanation of stabilising. I have noticed that the stabilising method I was using was crinkling. So frustrating! I used your method and it works! Many thanks.
Thank you for watching and giving me feed back after trying it. I appreciate it so much
Yes, I made a small purse and the fabric is all crinkled/wrinkled, so disappointing.
Hello from Kansas City, Missouri, USA!! I have that book, and now I am going to have to dig it out!! Great video thanks!!!
Thank you for watching. This book has such a lot of good information in it. Definitely time for you to dig out that book 🤗🤗
Thank you Elsabe, it is a great tip.
Hi Marie, thanks for watching.
Great info! Thanks!
Thanks for watching. Let me know the outcome once you test your fusible interfacing
What I tried is a wet pressing cloth and a wet interfacing. It glues very well even after washing clothes that you had sew. I loved how it worked out.
Thank you for sharing this information with us.
Brilliant information, Elsabe, thanks so much.
Hi Celeste, hope you are well. Haven’t seem you in ages.
@@ElsabeHurn I am thanks Elsabe, trying to get back to sewing after a fractured wrist. I really enjoy all of your tips and technique videos as you cover unique subjects and it's good to see how much your channel has expanded!
Thank you so much for this video. I am going to do this right now.
Hi Anna-Marie, please let me know if this works for you.
@@ElsabeHurn Yes, I have done exactly what you suggest and it works very well. Thank you.
Wonderful tip!! Thank you
Thanks
Can you please give some suggestions for interfacings in South Africa? The local stores only have interfacing that once is set actually feels like a cardboard. It's light interfacing but no brand or anything. Not like overseas. Any suppliers you can suggest please. Very helpful info
Please join my WhatsApp group for updates on products. I have a fusible interfacing kit that I. Am announcing next week. It includes the soft stretch interfacing for knits and soft wovens as well as a slightly firmer cotton interfacing that I use. I use Freudenberg interfacings which is a German brand. Most of their fusible have codes instead of a name, but the cotton one is called Korlene

I understand that the iron is on the Wool setting, right? I'll try this method; thank you!
Hi Beth, my iron was on cotton setting.
Great tip, Elsabe. What brand of iron are you using?
Hi Martha, my iron from a supermarket in my area. Brand is Platinum.
Hi Elsabe Great tutorial from a fellow SA, haven't come across many SA you tubers. Such a pleasant surprise. Thank you. Will this method also work for felt? Have you ever used fabric interfacing? Is it available in SA?
Hi Kathy, thank you for watching. I only use fabric interfacing when sewing. I am not a fan of the paper like interfacings. I have different weights of interfacing so that it matches the fabric I am working with.
I don’t sew with felt so just do a test on your felt to see how it works.
Thanks for your reply. Only now do I see you were demonstrating with fabric i/facing. Can't seem to find it here in the E Cape, have even tried googling for suppliers in South Africa, with no success. Fabric interfacing has been recommended for felt.
Where do you purchase I/facing ? TIA
I get my interfacing from my wholesale supplier. I sell a fusible interfacing box with different weights of the fusible fabric interfacing. I am out of stock at the moment and will only have stock again in January. I have seen some fabric fusible locally at the Dubai Centre fabric shop and sometimes at Chamdor Factory sales. They do ship orders, so give them a call to see if they can help you.
@@ElsabeHurnthank you.
What is the interfacing manufacturer?
The soft interfacings is from Freudenberg, a German company. Not sure about the firm interfacing as I bought that a while ago from a local fabric store.
