Product Information
Full details
The Hemline Sew-In Heavy Firm Interfacing (HN113) is a specialized material designed for sewists and tailors looking to add professional structure and reinforcement to heavy-weight fabric projects like coats and jackets. It offers a firm hand that helps garments maintain their shape through wear and cleaning, though users should be aware that because it is a sew-in product rather than fusible, it requires extra pinning or basting during the construction process.

FAQs
Is this interfacing fusible?
No, this is a sew-in interfacing and does not contain adhesive.
Can I use this for lightweight fabrics?
It is not recommended, as the 'Heavy Firm' nature of this product may be too stiff and visible through thin or delicate fabrics.
What is the width of the roll?
The interfacing is 90cm wide.
How should I wash projects made with this product?
It is machine washable at 30 degrees.
Can I return the product if I cut it incorrectly?
No, once the item is cut to length, it is no longer in a resaleable condition and is excluded from the returns policy.
Does this require special needles for sewing?
No special needles are required, but a standard universal needle appropriate for the weight of your outer fabric is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Interfacing shifting during sewing
Use more pins or apply a temporary basting stitch around the edges of the pattern piece before machine sewing the main seams.
Bulkiness at seam intersections
Trim the seam allowance of the interfacing slightly closer to the stitch line than the outer fabric to reduce thickness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the interfacing, lay your pattern pieces onto the 90cm wide material and cut them to match your fabric components exactly. Because this product is a sew-in type, ensure you secure it to your garment panels before joining the final seams. When washing finished garments containing this interfacing, use a gentle cycle at 30 degrees Celsius. Avoid high-heat drying if possible to maintain the crisp, firm hand of the interfacing over the long term. Note that this item is a custom-cut product and cannot be returned once purchased.
