Non-woven Interlining
Non-woven interlining is a type of interfacing used in garment construction, known for its unique properties and ease of use. Here’s an overview of its features, types, applications, and benefits:
Features:
Composition: Made from fibers that are bonded together through various methods (e.g., heat, chemical, or mechanical processes), rather than woven or knitted.
Lightweight: Generally lighter than woven interlinings, which can help maintain a softer drape in garments.
Stability: Provides a good level of stability and support, though typically less structured than woven options.
Types:
Fusible: Has an adhesive backing that bonds to the main fabric when heat is applied, making it easy to use in various applications.
Non-Fusible: Requires sewing or other methods for attachment, allowing for flexibility in how it is used.
Uses:
Garment Construction: Commonly used in collars, cuffs, and plackets to provide shape and support.
Costuming: Useful in costume design for adding structure without added weight.
Home Decor: Applied in items like curtains and cushions for added support.
