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.
