Fusible facing
« on: June 16, 2018, 18:23:33 PM »
 My pattern is asking for lightweight fusible facing. I can only get medium weight. The fabric I am using is Cotton Lawn. Will it be ok to use a medium weight or should I try and get some light weight on the internet?

I would definitely try and get some lightweight interfacing as lawn is light and a medium might overpower it.  You could always use a light sew in or even another piece of lawn as your interfacing.

I wouldn't if I were you, put it aside and have a look on ebay or if you've got a Dunhelm shop nearby they sell it there.

Medium weight interfacing fused to lawn will make it feel like cardboard  :o

Definitely get some lightweight stuff, even if it means waiting a few days for it to arrive.
