Thank you for an excellent tutorial on sewing centre plackets to a shirt. It always baffled me how it was done. It is quite a science. I shall now practice on a small piece so I get the idea. It is clever how they overlap and no raw edges anywhere.
Hi! I am so sorry for the delayed response: you need fusible knit interfacing, specifically made for knit fabrics. The knit interfacing stabilizes the knits but still moves with the material. Non-stretch/woven interfacing works around the button placket in this pattern, but may feel a bit stiff.

For stretch material would I use a non stretch interfacing? Thanks
