Interfacing Tip 2 – Iron on or not?

Interfacing is either the ‘sew-in’ type (ie no glue) or the iron-on sort (the rough side is the glue side). The latter is more popular - ensure you hold the iron on it for long enough or you’ll get ‘bubbling’ where the glue hasn’t melted.

Check the selvedge for guidance as produces are now printing the ironing time and heat required on the edge of the fabric. ... See MoreSee Less

Interfacing
Tip 1 – What is it?

Interfacing is an essential way to give extra body and stability to certain areas of your garment such as the collar or cuffs. Choose an interfacing that is similar in weight to your fabric. Do this by holding the fabric in one hand and the interfacing in the other, make a judgement with your eyes closed!

There are now interfacings for stretch fabrics which add body whilst retaining a degree of stretch. There are also ones reinforced with strips of stitching – these are quite a bit more expensive but are great for semi-tailored coats and jackets that need extra stability. ... See MoreSee Less

TIP OF THE MONTH
Pressing Seams

When pressing seams open only use the pointy-nose-end of the iron and gently guide this along your seam line. Putting the full weight of the flat iron over your seam can create shiny ‘ridges’ on the right side of the fabric which are very hard to remove.

If the fabric is a bit ‘bouncy’ and needs heavier pressing place a cloth or a scrap piece of the same fabric between the seam and the garment, then press.

A slightly damp cloth will give a much crisper press but check your fabric for shrinkage first. ... See MoreSee Less

TIP OF THE MONTH
Pressing Equipment

A pressing ham (so called ‘cos it looks like a cooked ham!) is a very useful bit of kit when pressing curves such as a neck edge, armholes etc. It makes a surprising difference to getting a nice shape.

The other ‘must have’ is a sleeve board. This is a little mini ironing board which enables you to get into smaller areas such as a sleeve seam, cuffs and other fiddling places. ... See MoreSee Less

TIP OF THE MONTH
Threading your machine

If you’re not lucky enough to have a needle threader on your sewing machine – hold a piece of white paper or card behind the eye of the needle. This makes it a little easier to see where you’re aiming the thread…! ... See MoreSee Less
