FAQs
What type of fabric is this interfacing best suited for?
This interfacing works well with medium-weight fabrics suitable for skirts and trousers.
Can I use this interfacing on stretch fabrics?
It is generally not recommended for stretch fabrics. The interfacing is designed for stable fabrics.
How do I know which side of the interfacing is the fusible side?
The fusible side is the side that appears slightly shiny or has a slight sheen.
What if my iron is too hot for the fabric?
Reduce the iron's temperature. Always test on a scrap of fabric first. If scorching occurs, the iron is too hot.

Troubleshooting
Interfacing is not adhering properly.
Ensure your iron is hot enough for the fabric type. Press firmly and for the recommended time. Make sure the fabric is clean and dry.
Interfacing is visible on the right side of the fabric.
Use a pressing cloth during ironing to prevent shine-through. Ensure that you are not using excessive heat for the fabric.
