I find these videos really helpful. There's always some great tips and the right way to use interfacing has been a bit of a mystery until now. Another tip I picked up recently was to put greaseproof paper on you ironing board underneath the fabric and interfacing to protect it from the glue. X
Very helpful - really great video series. Using the wrong weight in interfacing has caught before. So matching the weight to the fabric makes sense. I did assume that the weight might change based on the part of the garment - i.e. a waistband might need a heavier weight interfacing than a placket or a collar. So I am glad you clarified that! Thanks.
Does linen uses interfacing? I have a simplicity pattern 8137 and I want to make the long on. Yes But I am not sure if I need to add interferencing to linen Great information!!
Hello, yes I would say do use interfacing on linen if the pattern generally recommends facing anyway. Just make sure you choose an interfacing that most closely matches the thickness of your fabric :)
Hi Lauren, could you do a video on the different types of crepe. For example triple crepe, viscose crepe etc etc I have no idea. Your videos are brilliant Thanks you Elaine x
Hi Lauren, great video! I was wondering what weight of interfacing you use for your denim and also what do you use for your pressing cloth. I bought one from Lakeland and it tends to leave a grid mark on my fabric. I've heard people using silk organza. Thank you so much x
Thanks Lauren. I have been sewing for many years and often wonder if I am using the correct interfacing. It is good to have this overview because then you know everything that is out there which is not perhaps all available in a particular shop. Will you be doing one on neckline, shoulder and hem stabilisers too coz that would be very useful. I have stuff I have bought that I am not even sure what to use it for, though I definitely needed it at the time. Lol
Hi Lauren. I find that I'm sometimes left with little offcuts of interfacing. Was wondering is it ok to piece together bits or should you just stick with one piece? Thank you.

Thank you Lauren some good tips . Love the fabric you put interfacing on its beautiful
Thanks! Helpful. I needed that 2 months ago when I was having mysterious trouble with a coat- yup. Took it apart and ironed in interfacing
thank you very much, Lauren, for the instructive tutorial I did not know about the woven and not differences though they had stability just the same
Very useful information! Thank you for making these tutorials.
Hello 👋 👋 Thanks for sharing from Atlanta Ga USA Beautiful. Helpful First time here 💘 it.
This video is perfect for me! Thank you! Also you are extremely beautiful!
Living in Switzerland as I have for eleven years makes a Scottish voice very nostalgic for me
Very helpful video! You mentioned you used interfacing on I’m your coat. Did you also line your coat? Or did the interfacing act as the liner?
Hello, yes I used lining as well :)
Spot on as usual Lauren 👌... thanks so much 😁💝😘

I always enjoy your sewing tips! I missed hearing about knit interfacing and types of stretch...
Hi Lauren, could you do a video on the different types of crepe. For example triple crepe, viscose crepe etc etc I have no idea. Your videos are brilliant Thanks you Elaine x
Hi Elaine, I do cover that a bit in my video sewing with slippery fabrics, but I'll add it to my list anyway :)
Thanks so much for this. Very helpful as always!!!

Hi Lauren. Do you recommend pre-washing the interfacings before using them? Many thanks
