4. When used as an underlining, fuse knit interfacings
to the fabric before cutting out the garment sections. Be careful
to match grainlines.
5. Cut weft-insertions crosswise for supple
shaping or flexibility, a perfect method for heavier fabrics.
6. Non-wovens that are stable have little or
no give in any directions so it is not necessary to follow grainline
during layout.
7. Stretch non-wovens generally have stability
in the lengthwise and offer stretch in the crosswise. Examine your
silhouette and fabric to determine the direction of greater stretch
needed.
8. Bias non-wovens have some stretch in all
directions so grainline is not key. This is especially good in cuff
and collar areas
Do not be afraid to use bias-cut or crosswise
interfacing under straight grain sections of your garment. The layers
will work beautifully."
