Quilting Supplies - InterfacingInterfacing is a special type of material that is used to add strength to fabric. Perhaps your fabric is thin and stitching it is compromising the integrity of the fabric, interfacing can be used to add strength to your thin fabric. Interfacing is also used to add stiffness, for example in collars for shirts, or hems for dresses and jackets. Or for inside a tie. Quilters tend to use interfacing to add strenght, stability, manageability and longevity to their quilt projects. Interfacing comes in several interfacing types such as nonwoven interfacing, woven interfacing, knit interfacing, weft-inserted interfacing, fleece interfacing, and combo interfacing/stabilizer/fusible web products. Find the interfacing you need for your quilting or sewing project here at Quilting-Warehouse!
Nonwoven InterfacingNonwoven interfacing is made from bonded man-made fibers. Use no stretch nonwoven interfacing for medium to heavyweight fabrics. Use stretchable nonwoven interfacing for soft shaping.
Woven InterfacingWoven interfacing is made from threads woven together. There are usually lengthwise threads(warp) and crosswise threads(weft). Woven interfacing is good for light to heavyweight fabrics.
Knit InterfacingFibers are interlinked together to form knit interfacing. Use knit interfacing if you want to add extra body to garments, reduce wrinkles or to interline knitted fabrics.
Weft Inserted InterfacingThis is a very fine interfacing. Cross wise fiber is inserted into a fine web knit fabric to create a stable but flexible interfacing. Used for traditional soft tailoring and designer drape in lightweight jackets and coats. High quality weft interfacing does not require pre-shrinking. Developed for lightweight fabrics. Use with Dry Clean only Fabrics.
Fleece InterfacingFleece interfacing is used to interline garments for warmth and to make shoulder pads, sleeve heads, quilts and other craft items. Creates a slightly padded look in crafts and garments. Also use it to give your quilt a low loft.
Fusible Interfacing & StabilizersThese products work great for crafts projects such as fabric bowls, fabric vases and fabric boxes. Fast2fuse is a stabilizer interfacing with the fusible web already attached to both sides. It works best if you prewash your fabric. Use the heavyweight Fast2fuse for projects with straight sides and regular weight for projects with curved sides. Timtex is a stabilizer interfacing that is used to make your craft project stiff and sturdy. You need to use a fusible web such as "Wonder-Under" with Timtex. The fusible web adheres the fabric to both sides of the Timtex to make a fabric -Timtex "sandwich."
