FAQs
What is the correct iron temperature?
The ideal temperature depends on your fabric. Test on a scrap first, but generally, use a medium setting suitable for the fashion fabric.
Can this interfacing be used with any fabric?
It is compatible with many fabrics. Always test on a scrap of your fabric before applying to your garment to ensure proper adhesion and avoid damage.
How do I cut the interfacing?
Cut the interfacing to the exact same width as the pattern's waistband piece. It is pre-cut to 35mm wide.
What if the interfacing adhesive melts through the fabric?
This is likely due to the iron being too hot. Turn down the iron, use a pressing cloth and test on a fabric scrap.
How do I prevent the interfacing from shifting during ironing?
Ensure both the interfacing and the fabric are laying flat before ironing. You can also use pins to hold it in place while ironing, but be sure to remove them before folding the waistband.
Can I wash and dry garments with this interfacing?
Yes, follow the care instructions for your fabric. Generally, wash and dry the garment as usual. Avoid high heat when ironing to prevent the interfacing from coming loose.
Troubleshooting
Interfacing is not adhering properly.
Increase the iron temperature slightly and apply more pressure. Ensure the iron is in contact with the fabric for the recommended time.
Bubbles or unevenness after fusing.
Ensure the fabric and interfacing are completely flat before ironing. Use a pressing cloth if necessary. Allow the fabric to cool completely after ironing before handling.
Interfacing is visible from the right side of the fabric.
Ensure the interfacing is trimmed neatly to the seam allowance. Avoid stretching the fabric while applying the interfacing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Preparation: Cut the interfacing to the correct width (35mm) and length, matching your waistband pattern piece.
- Fabric Compatibility: Suitable for use with a variety of fabrics, but always test on a fabric scrap first to ensure compatibility and determine the correct iron temperature.

- Care: Follow the care instructions for your fabric. Generally, wash and dry the garment as usual. Avoid high heat when ironing.
