Interfacings & Stabilizers

Interfacing is a material used to give additional strength, support or shape to garments, quilting and craft projects.

There are many types of interfacings, with different fibre content, woven or non-woven, fusible or sew-in, etc.  Stiffer interfacings, such as foam or fleece are used in craft and quilted projects to provide structure, such as in stand up bags & totes.
