It is used to provide extra heavy firmness and structure to sewing and craft projects like pelmets, bags, collages, and other creative works where a stiff, stable base is needed.
It is suitable for almost all fabrics, but due to its heavy weight, it may be too stiff for very lightweight or delicate materials.
This is a sew-in interfacing, meaning it must be stitched to the fabric.
It is attached by sewing it to the fabric layers, either by hand or machine, along with the main project construction.
The roll measures 25 meters in length and 30 centimeters in width.
Yes, items made with this interfacing can typically be washed following the care instructions of the main fabric used in the project.
Its main benefit is providing strong, reliable, and lasting firmness and structure to projects that require rigidity.
Ensure the interfacing is well-pinned to the fabric layers before stitching. Use plenty of pins or temporary basting stitches to hold it securely in place.
Check your sewing machine tension and needle size. A finer needle and appropriate tension settings for your fabric and interfacing combination can help. Ensure you are not pulling the fabric as you sew.
This interfacing is designed for firmness. If a softer result is desired, consider a lighter-weight interfacing. For existing projects, ensure the interfacing was not intended for a project requiring significant drape.
Setup: The Vilene Vlieseline S80 is a sew-in interfacing. To use, cut the required shape from the roll and place it between the fabric layers as per your pattern instructions. Pin securely in place before sewing to prevent shifting.
Compatibility: This interfacing is designed to be suitable for almost all fabrics, from sturdy cottons to linens. However, due to its extra-heavy firmness, it is best avoided for very fine, lightweight, or delicate materials where it might create an overly stiff or bulky result.
Care: As the interfacing is sewn into your project, its care requirements are dictated by the fabric it is attached to. Generally, items made with this interfacing can be washed according to the fabric's care instructions. It is recommended to test a small sample if machine washing or tumble drying is planned for the finished item.
