 What should I know about interfacing when sewing silk?
The kind of interfacing you should use depends on the weight of the silk.
  • In general, for using fusible interfacings with silk, superfine Japanese interfacing does the trick nicely. It adds body without adding weight.  We carry it at our store - please call 866-4SEW-FUN to inquire about our current stock, as our selection varies.
  • For underlining silk, organza is a good choice.
  • When using sew-in interfacing, the layers can slip easily. Try using a temporary aerosol adhesive like quilter's basting spray.
