SALE ALERT: Fabulous interfacing

May 10, 2012 by SewMaris 4 Comments

Have you ever tried interfacing from Fashion Sewing Supply, owned by Pam Erny? Do yourself a favor and order yourself some great interfacing. Forget that cr%#y paper stuff (sold in Joann’s) that masquerades as interfacing. Buy actual fabric interfacing from Pam. You won’t regret it.

I double-heart the woven Shirt Crisp for my husband’s shirt collars and cuffs, and I also use the Pro-Tricot for all my knits. I think I will try out the new Pro-Woven Light Crisp interfacing as a general purpose fusible for medium weight cottons.Hmmm, maybe I need some more Pro-Sheer Elegance too, since I think there may be some lightweight woven cotton in my sewing future. 

How about you, dear readers? Have you ever tried Pam’s interfacing? Do share your thoughts!

Happy sewing!

Maris

    Can you tell me how/where you use interfacing for knits?

    Would you use it on parts of a basic T-shirt?

    Good question Cindy. If you are making a basic round neck tee – no need for interfacing. If you are doing anything – tee, dress, skirt, etc – that includes a facing – usually you need to interface facings or they are too limp. An example of a good place to use knit interfacing is on the front facings of a knit wrap dress – like this one – http://voguepatterns.mccall.com/v8379-products-8330.php?page_id=856.

    Hope that helps!

    Love Pam’s interfacing! Using hers just once will ruin you on any other kind! Also, she has silk organza for underlining at a great price. It is just as nice as everything she carries.
