HOW TO SELECT THE RIGHT PELLON ® INTERFACING: Interfacing shapes, supports & stabilizes detail areas of a garment, such as collars, facings & waistbands.

e Choosing the right interfacing is key to a garment’s appearance & performance. This guide is designed to help identify

d the best choices for your project. i u ® g Most Pellon interfacings & craft materials are nonwoven. Nonwovens are made directly from fibers that are bonded together to form a fabric. Nonwovens do not have a grain. They have little or no shrinkage & will not ravel. g ®

n They can be washed or dry-cleaned. Other types of Pellon interfacings are woven, knitted or weft-inserted. i c

a Interfacing may also be fusible or sew-in. Fusibles have an adhesive on one side which will be activated by your iron. f

r Hand held steamers will not bond interfacing to fabric. e t n

i The choice between a fusible & a sew-in interfacing depends on the fabric, the degree of firmness desired & personal preference. Fusibles are great time savers. They’re easy to work with & are compatible with most fabrics. ® They make a fabric slightly crisper than a sew-in interfacing of comparable weight. n o l l e P

1. All Pellon ® fusibles include complete instructions. Pre-wash the fabric to pre-shrink it and to remove finishes that prevent fusible from adhering. Check the package instructions. Nonwoven interfacings do not need to be pre-shrunk. Woven and weft-inserted products do.

2. Always test a swatch of fusible interfacing, before using it for your project. Iron temperatures can vary, so a test will help determine the proper setting to use. Use a press cloth.

3. If the fusible test swatch looks wrinkled: The fabric may be shrinking. Wash fabric again or use a lower fusing temperature. Or, the interfacing is too heavy. Try a lighter weight or use a sew-in style.

4. Fusibles are meant to be permanent. If you want to remove a fusible interfacing from fabric, and it is not completely fused, reheat the area, pressing lightly. While warm, gently peel up.

5. To remove fusible residue from fabric, iron with a dryer sheet or use a spot remover made specifically for glue and adhesive.

6. Use a hot iron cleaner to remove any fusible residue on the iron. Follow package directions.

7. How to tell which is the fusible side: Most products have a dot adhesive. You can see or feel small dots on the rough side. If the product has a coated adhesive, the fusible side will be shiny.
