Non-Woven Lightweight Fusible Interfacing
Do you know that you can make fabric face masks using non-woven fusible interfacing?
Now, you can pursue your hobbies and create stunning sewing/quilting projects using non-woven fusible interfacing. Being semi-transparent, this interfacing adds to the grace of your projects. The good thing about non-woven interfacing is that you can easily cut it in any direction, for your desired shapes and sizes.
In four simple steps, you can make a perfect face mask:
- Firstly, cut the fabric and non-woven interfacing according to the image shown above.
- Then, attach the interfacing to the fabric using a hot iron.
- After that, follow the template and sew the parts together
- Finally, attach elastic to both sides to complete the face mask.
This non-woven interfacing works just fine when it comes to filtering dust particles and other unhealthy small particles. Plus, the interfacing helps retain a good shape.
Lightweight Vs Medium Weight Interfacing
If you want to add a shape, strength, and structure to lightweight fabric/material, then this lightweight interfacing is all you need.
But, If you want durability and structure for medium-weight fabrics, then medium-weight interfacing will work well.
Which Side Has the Strong Sticking?
The shiny side of the interfacing has an adhesive coating that sticks firmly to the fabric for neat results.
It looks shiny as it has very tiny glue dots on it, which makes it look a little bumpy/rough as well.
So, you can check bumpiness/roughness or shine to find out the fusible side.
Adding Structure, Durability, and Support to Your Projects
This non-woven fusible interfacing supports fashionable clothing projects, applique work, quilting projects, home decor designs, various art projects, etc.
In every project, interfacing adds stiffness, durability, and holds shape. In other words, grace, sophistication, and strength can be assured with it.
Did You Know that Fusible Interfacing has 4 Major Types?
Non-Woven Fusible Interfacing
As it is made up of 100% polyester, and has no grain or fabric structure in it thus it is very easy to cut it in any shape/size. Plus, it is machine washable and has a longer life.
Woven Fusible Interfacing
It has a fabric-like structure, made up of weft and warp fibers interwoven (lengthwise and crosswise) together. Thus, it needs to be cut along the grain.
This type of interfacing reduces the drape of your fashion fabric, so it’s not best suited for times you wish your fabric to have a good drape.
Double-Sided Fusible Interfacing
As it is double-sided fusible, it is used to bond two sides of the fabric together. The most popular use is for applique projects.
Fusible Fleece
As the name suggests, it appears to be fleecy and is used to add loft to fabrics. It is usually thicker and thus used for specific projects to add body and softness e.g pillows, bags, and totes.
Interfacing can add a magical effect to your project. The project will look much more neat as it maintains its structure and durability.
Did you know both woven and non-woven fusible interfacing are classified into three different weights: lightweight, medium weight, and heavyweight?
Uses of Lightweight Interfacing
As the name suggests, lightweight interfacing is for lightweight fabrics. Lightweight interfacing is perfect for mask making, light quilting projects, t-shirts, appliqué work, etc.
Uses of Medium Weight Interfacing
Medium weight interfacing is for medium-weight fabrics. This interfacing is perfect for sewing projects, bag making, hat making, quilting, etc.
Uses of Heavyweight Interfacing
Similarly, heavyweight is to support heavy fabric or heavy material-based projects. Usually, it works best for heavy fabrics such as coats.

..my project was Roman shades for my bathroom. The mini blinds have those tiny holes…Husband said…a person can still look in through those holes…oh, great…so now, I’m to making a Roman shade for it. The fabric was an extra piece of curtain left by the previous owner…😁 and though it would look great in there, I thought, it’s sheer fabric and that won’t help . So, I need a stabilizer….nearest fabric store is not near…ha…so I ordered this . I ‘pressed’ it to my fabric. It had bubbles in it, but what can I do now, I already cut the thing, so then I sewed it to the liner and finished it. I like the look, and you cannot see through it…yeah!Now for the cons…it bubbled some…the worst thing was that there are folds on it, and those won’t come out. The manufacturer should have just put this product on a cheap cardboard roll.All in all , it was ok, it did use it , for a bathroom Roman shade, but it would work great with much smaller projects.I hope I helped someone…cheers!

Needed some new interfacing for dresses and was tired of the Pellon brand just kinda sucking overall. This was stiffer than I expected compared to the same listed weight as pellon but that not a bad thing at all considering I’ll only use it for reinforcing button plackets, collars, and embroidering bodices. It ironed on well but definitely start on a lower temp it tends to ripple at higher temps (I should have read the instructions oh well). First project with it is a large hand embroidered bodice for my daughter and even in a hoop it’s staying in place perfectly and doesn’t come through with the stitches like pellon brand does. I will definitely but again!!

Adhered very well with ironing. Very easy to cut out what you need. Is stiff, but the right amount, easy to work with!

I had to get this when my local store was out of interfacing and I had a project due before they'd get more.This came with more interacting than I thought it would and worked really well for my project. (Used for shirt collars and cuffs.)It's more difficult to use than I'd expect. The instructions say to place a cloth between the facing and the iron, but this was not working. And I went to my usual go to which was a DAMP cloth between the iron and the facing which is usually enough to get the glue to melt and stick really well. That didn't really work either. So I continued to press very hard until the close was no longer damp and some glue had melted and there was a VERY light stick. I then took the cloth away and spritzed the entire thing with water and pressed the iron on the interfacing (not dragging, just pressing) over and over until the entire thing was stable. It took several minutes and was a pain in the but but I eventually got it all to stick like it's supposed to.TLDR: Unless your iron is literally red hot, light spritz the back of your interfacing with water and iron that way. Press hard and get the edges well. Rinse and repeat several times until sticking. Let cool without touching so glue can stiffen properly.
