Interfacings, nets and fusibles
Posted on
Summer is about weddings, and weddings are all about having the right foundations! At Sew curvy this means interfacings, nets and fusibles! We've got several types of quality fusible interfacings all made by Vilene which is the British equivalent of the US Pellon brand. Woven fusible cotton is handy for making flimsy fabrics a bit heavier, and our new Bondaweb two sided heat activated webbing comes in 90cm widths! Big enough to fuse half a metre of fabric at a time!

| G700 Viline fusible woven interfacing is glue backed cotton in black or white. It has a grain and is easy to use. Full instructions in the product listing. Use it for adding body to flimsy fabrics, for dress facings or for interfacing a lighter corset fashion fabric. Works best with natural fibres. | Light but stiff canvas interlining is commonly used in wedding dress foundations as the inner corsolette material. Use it with spiral steel boning to smooth out the sillhouete under a light retro style dress which needs a good nip on the waist for max effect! | We have new 90cm wide bondaweb! A double sided fusing web for bonding two fabrics together which saves much faffing! A much better width for corset making. Use it for bonding fashion fabric to coutil to make a tough, but fine underwear corset or bodice. |

The best way to use woven fusible is to lay said material on your fabric, lightly spray with water, cover with thin paper, and press press press. Do not rub. Just press. The water creates steam which adds heat and improves bonding properties. You can do the same with bondaweb just remember to sandwich the web between your two layers of fabric. |

Rigid corsetry net comes in two colours, natural and black, and two weights. Heavy is best for regular corsetry while light can be used for waspies and stiff petticoats. Use loop pressing bars to make external bone channels for your sheer corsetry. Use the net to make sheer corsets, or stiff peticoats which will give a skirt more body. |
