In reply to Tina. You can stitch a similar cotton drill or twill or even spandex with an additional line of sewing in the seam allowance of that area.If you want interfacing choose a light to mide weight interfacing with woven structure so it flexes and drapes.

I need to reinforce the seat of cotton pants. What type of interfacing should I use for this? The pattern is a small check in med-dark gray so it won’t be difficult to find a color to blend in but I’m not sure whether fusing or sew-in would be best or even the thickness of the fabric. The cotton is relatively thin but I’m trying to strengthen an area that both drapes around the..er..body part 🙂 and needs strength to withstand much sitting. I’m just all at sea with this project.

In reply to Nyah.

Weft insertion Fusible interfacing normally. Hair Canvas if you are making coats or jackets. You can buy wool hair canvas – a mix of wool, hair, viscose & synthetics.
Prewash your wool in cold water, hang dry – to reduce shrinkage. To apply, Use steam and press with iron (not glide like you do ironing) and then let the fabric cool flat after steaming so it sets properly. If the wool is a polyester blend, be careful with heat, otherwise wool can take a lot of heat.

I want to reduce the amount of drape in wool tartan fabric, so that it drapes similarly to wool tweed fabric. Wool tweed fabric has relatively low-drape, so I need to do something in order for the wool tartan fabric to not fall flat under its weight. What kind of interfacing would be best for what I want to do?

In reply to Frankie Williams. You can buy special needles that will not pick up glue from the interfacing

In reply to Frankie Williams. Hi Frankie, Not for this small a project, I don't think so. It is true for a big project, in which case you can change the needle. Best wishes.

I have a question about using one sided fusible interfacing in place of batting. I’m making a table runner and the instructions say to use fusible infecting. A friend said she thought when I got to the quilting part the glue on the Interfacing would gum up the needle of my sewing machine. What are your thoughts on where this would happen.
