Thank you so much for this quick video. I appreciate getting right to the point and describing which sides of the interfacing to use. After watching this, I have not been using interfacing correctly. Thanks again
Well I found a new channel for tutorials, I will be subscribing! You just get straight to the point. You explained something in under 3 mins, other channels 10+ mins..
Thanks for making this short and sweet and just getting right to the point without rambling before starting. I’ve been sewing for like 6 years, and I’ve always wondered why my interfacing just peels right off, turns out I never took the time to fuse the interfacing properly
Thank you so very much for getting to the point and teaching us. Thank you so much for not having blaring horrible music in the background drowning you out. Thank you so much for not trying to sell us crap. Your hands are blessed. Thank you.
Thank u so much for this video. I have went through 100 videos trying to find out what side of interfacing are u supposed to iron, & everyone wants to tell us all there is to know about interfacing and I just wanted to know what side to iron ughhh 😂 again I thank u more than u know
Very useful video. It is to the point and so, it is short, focussed and quick, great explanation and clear video shoot!! Thanks a million for posting!!
thanks so much!! first time i'm doing this for a sewing project and this helped me actually visualize the steps so much better than the written down instructions!
Thanks for a quick clear explanation on using fusible interfacing. Only question I have is that you said to press it for 30 seconds and you only pressed it for about 5! I’m wondering which time is correct.
Hi! Thanks for the straightforward video! Im using the interfacing on my face masks. It worked great the first mask I made, but the second, once I but the interfacing after ironing, the corners came off slightly. Should I just reapply heat and water or just heat? Thank you!!!
Pumpkin Spice Latte you could just try the method again making sure you use the damp cloth and you really should only be pressing the iron not moving the iron around. Every brand of interfacing has their own set of directions I don’t know how many seconds you’re supposed to press your iron onto the fabric. Most likely that won’t be a concern because you will be sewing the fabric anyway
To the point! Nice! However, some say just press and lift the iron (vs smoothing it across the fabric) so that you don’t inadvertently spread the adhesive to unwanted areas outside of your fabric. But love your video❤️
Thanks for writing! I have seen the iron lifting technique before. I’m sure it’s a great way to fuse interfacing I just prefer to move the iron across. Thanks for your input. 😍
You could but it would make it quite stiff. That is the purpose of interfacing to make the area more stabilized. You would probably want to use lining fabric. It’s a lightweight woven fabric that could be used for this purpose.
Thank you for the tutorial! Can I use two different weight of fusible interfacing in one mask? Medium 931 weight fused to the front cotton and 845 lite fused to the inside cotton? I ask because two layers of medium are hard to breath though. But, I want the stiffness that an interfacing provides on the inside as well. I have a lot of 931 so, just trying to figure out my options. Thank you for your expertise!
You can do that but breath ability may be an issue. It’s still two layers of interfacing. You should consider that. What type of lining are you using? Maybe make your lining a heavier weight. Hope this helps.
The fabric store gave me something called Pelion 915 Cambric. I don’t know how to sew, I said I was clueless what I was doing but I said I needed some material to make the pockets, the little strip that the buttons were put on and the collar, more sturdy. Really discouraged. The woman gave me this material and said to iron it onto the fabric and walked away.
Are you using the Pellon on basic cotton fabric or silk or polyester? Another question… is this interfacing the fusible kind or the sew-in kind? It should have attached paper to explain which kind you have. If it’s sew in then you have your answer as to why it burnt up.
@@whatsshecreating As I previously mentioned, the fabric store told me it had to be ironed on. That’s when I found your awesome video. My husband and I both couldn’t figure out a smooth side and a rough side. We weren’t sure because we have never dealt with anything like that before. 🤷🏼♀️
@@Nubstar33 if you can not figure out the smooth vs. rough side then it is sew in. It’s not a problem. You just have to stitch all edges of the fabric with a loose stitch instead of ironing to fuse it. Thanks for your comments. I hope this helps.
@@whatsshecreating do I sew the interfacing to the pocket then sew it again to the body of the outfit? Can I sew all of the pieces together? I’m so sorry that I sound like an airhead. 😃😃I’m extremely out of my element. Thank you again. 🙏🏻‼️
@@Nubstar33 sew each piece of interfacing to each pocket piece. Sew using a 1/8 inch seam allowance or sew 1/8 inch from the edge around entire piece. So if you have a square pocket you will have a square stitch around edges of pocket. I’ll probably do a video next week on this.
Will it survive in the washing machine? I'm looking for something to cover up the back of finished embroidery on a white cotton t shirt. Any help would be great! xx
Yes it will hold up. You may want to try this type of interfacing but also research these: Here are three examples. I took this from thesprucecrafts.com: Cut-Away - Most commonly used with machine embroidery, cut-away stabilizer is also good for hand embroidery on stretchy fabrics. Baste or hoop it in place on the wrong side of the fabric before stitching. The stabilizer under your embroidery remains, but any excess is cut away after you're done. Tear-Away - Similar to cut-away stabilizer, this is great for when your fabric needs some support as you stitch. Some tear-away stabilizer is fusible and often it is applied to the front of the fabric. Unlike standard fusible and cut-away, the stabilizer is removed when you're finished. Water-Soluble - This stabilizer is temporary like tear-away, but instead of tearing it away, the stabilizer dissolves in water. It's useful for marking a pattern, but it can be used on the back of your work as well.
Oh my. HELP. I’ve tried to do this with both sides of my interfacing and the iron burned a hole right through it. I used the right setting, and a damp cloth too. 😥

What type of fabric are you using for the damp pressing cloth? It looks a bit like part of a tshirt.
It’s muslin fabric. It’s made of 100% woven cotton. It’s not stretchy like a T-shirt but feels more like a woven dress shirt.
To the point! Nice! However, some say just press and lift the iron (vs smoothing it across the fabric) so that you don’t inadvertently spread the adhesive to unwanted areas outside of your fabric. But love your video❤️

Do you think this material can be used as an underlining material to make white trousers less see through?
You could but it would make it quite stiff. That is the purpose of interfacing to make the area more stabilized. You would probably want to use lining fabric. It’s a lightweight woven fabric that could be used for this purpose.

I was taught to not steam the interfacing
Oh my. HELP. I’ve tried to do this with both sides of my interfacing and the iron burned a hole right through it. I used the right setting, and a damp cloth too. 😥
@Q17 What type of fabric were you fusing to the interfacing?
@@whatsshecreating I was using a lightweight flannel. One that has a pattern on one side but a white faded pattern on the back.
so you can wash it and itll be fine?
That depends. You need to make sure you make your garment or item first. Then you can wash. Washing only the interfacing and attached fabric will cause issues
@@whatsshecreating ok thank you!
Hi! I am trying to embroider a word on one of my shirts. Would ironing on some fusible interface afterwards help to secure my embroidered word?
Yes it would.
You could iron on the wrong side of the shirt before embroidering the word also.
whatsshecreating thanks for the reply! If I did it before embroidering, would that act as the stabilizer? Would I tear it away at the end or keep it?

You can find these in your local craft store
What brand is the interfacing?
Pellon Brand
Thank u
what bran u using?
I used Pellon Brand.
Weight of interfacing#
I believe it’s sheer weight interfacing
I'm going to do it for 30 sec... does it for 3 sec
This is an old video. The manufacturer states 6-10 seconds and it’s fused. Thanks.
thank you, very short and informative!
You're welcome!
