HOW TO SELECT THE RIGHT PELLON® INTERFACING: Interfacing shapes, supports & stabilizes detail areas of a garment, such as collars, facings & waistbands. Choosing the right interfacing is key to a garment’s appearance & performance. This guide is designed to help identifythe best choices for your project.

Most Pellon® interfacings & craft materials are nonwoven. Nonwovens are made directly from fibers that are bondedtogether to form a fabric. Nonwovens do not have a grain. They have little or no shrinkage & will not ravel. They can be washed or dry-cleaned. Other types of Pellon® interfacings are woven, knitted or weft-inserted.

Interfacing may also be fusible or sew-in. Fusibles have an adhesive on one side which will be activated by your iron.Hand held steamers will not bond interfacing to fabric.

The choice between a fusible & a sew-in interfacing depends on the fabric, the degree of firmness desired & personalpreference. 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.

TIPS & TROUBLESHOOTING:

1. All Pellon® fusibles include complete instructions. Pre-wash the fabric to pre-shrink it and to remove finishesthat prevent fusible from adhering. Check the package instructions. Nonwoven interfacings do not need to bepre-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 atest 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 tooheavy. 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 glueand 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 acoated adhesive, the fusible side will be shiny.
