The addition of interlining to a fabric can ramp up the body of your garment

The addition of interlining to a fabric can ramp up the body of your garment and change its drape. It can also provide extra warmth and protection. Interlining can be permanent (like in a coat with a warm layer that can be zipped in and out) or removable (as in a jacket with a shell and a warm inner liner). It can help your fabric stand up to wear and tear, too.

There are many different types of interlining fabrics, so it's important to choose one that fits your fabric and the type of garment you want to make. There are fusible and non-fusible options as well as different thicknesses. Some are also stiffer or more flowy than others. It's also important to consider how you want the final look of your garment and how it will be used.

Tricot interlining is a type of fusible knit interfacing that is soft and flexible, but it's also very strong. It's ideal for knits and wovens that require lightweight interfacing, but it can also be used with heavier fabrics. Fusible knit interfacing is usually used to stabilize knit fabrics, but it can also be used to shape and support woven materials. When choosing a fusible interlining, it's important to match the grain of your fabric to the grain of the interlining. This will ensure that the two pieces of fabric will fuse together smoothly and evenly.

Woven interlinings are a little more expensive than non-wovens, but they come in a much wider range of weights, properties and thicknesses. They can be as thin and wispy as a felt or as stiff as a card, but most woven interlinings have a fabric-like hand and fuses well without creating too many wrinkles.

In addition to the variety of woven interlinings, there are also several different ways that they can be made. Some are finished with resin while others are printed, inlaid, or coated. The type of lining you use will depend on the kind of garment you're making and your budget.

Woven interlinings are a good choice for high-end, tailored garments such as suits and trousers, and they're also ideal for wool and fur coats. They're very firm, warm and wear-resistant, so they'll keep your clothing looking and feeling great for years to come. You can find these fabrics at most major fabric stores and online retailers. There are even a few companies that specialize in selling only woven interlinings. Be sure to check the label on any woven interlining before purchasing it to make sure that you're getting the best quality. A reputable fabric supplier should test their product regularly for temperature stability and wash shrinkage before it's put into mass production. If the manufacturer doesn't do this, you may end up with an inferior product that will not fuse properly or will not have the desired effect on your garment.
