FAQ

What are the main categories of interlining based on the part of the garment where they are used?

Collar interlining (collar face interlining, collar stand interlining)

Front body interlining (bust interlining, facing interlining, main body interlining)

Small components (shoulder interlining, cuff interlining, gusset interlining, hem interlining, vent interlining, belt loop interlining, placket interlining, waist interlining, back panel interlining, crotch interlining, and other reinforcing interlinings)

Based on the base fabric and general fabric categories, into which types can interlinings be classified?

  • Woven interlining (including plain weave, satin weave, twill weave, and segmented interlinings)

  • Non-woven Interlining

  • Knitted and woven interlinings (including warp-knitted, weft-knitted, and warp-knitted interlinings with weft-knitted backing)

  • Charcoal interlinings (including core-spun horsehair interlinings and wool interlinings)

  • Nonwoven interlinings with woven chains

What are the main functions of interfacing?

  • To enhance the elasticity and structure of garments and prevent them from losing their shape.

  • To improve the texture and drape of the fabric, giving the garment a smooth drape and defined silhouette, and enhancing its three-dimensional appearance.

  • To reinforce and strengthen specific areas of the garment.

For heavy-weight garments, it adds fullness and a substantial feel; for lightweight garments, it prevents transparency.

What is interlining?

Interlining is a specialized textile material used in the inner layers of garments, footwear, and headwear to provide reinforcement and structure. It can be a non-adhesive interlining, such as plain woven fabric, nonwoven fabric, or knitted fabric, or it can be an adhesive interlining created by coating the aforementioned materials with adhesive.

Why is the application of fusible interlining considered a major innovation in the garment industry?

Fusing interlining was invented in the 1950s in Europe due to a shortage of skilled workers after World War II, in search of a simpler garment sewing process. Its emergence was closely related to the rapid development of the chemical industry, especially polymer chemistry, after World War II. Fusible interlining is both crisp and elastic, retains its function even after washing, and is a cost-effective new type of garment accessory. The use of fusible interlining in garments has excellent benefits for both producers and consumers. For producers, the use of fusible interlining simplifies garment manufacturing processes, allows for a more appropriate expression of modern clothing styles, enhances garment quality, saves time and labor, increases production efficiency, and reduces costs, bringing a series of significant innovations to the garment industry. For consumers, garments using fusible interlining are exceptionally comfortable, aesthetically pleasing, crisp, retain their shape well, and are breathable. International experts now believe that garment style largely depends on the proper use of interlining. Interlining has risen from the traditional "skeleton" of garments to the "essence" of garments. In Europe, America, Japan, and other countries, 70-80% of garments use fusible interlinings. In my country, the application rate has also reached over 40%, while in the military industry, 90% of interlining garments currently use fusible interlinings. Along with the development of the garment industry, my country's fusible interlining production technology has also developed rapidly, making my country a major producer and consumer of interlining fabrics.
