Nortex Mill White Heavyweight Fusible Iron On Interfacing Fabric (Per Metre)

Product Information

For dipping and draping over a form, for example to make fabric bowls, or lacework collars for historical costumes, then Aleene’s Fabric Stiffener and draping liquid would be my choice. This material can be used to back smooth curtain weight fabric to create your own unique roller blinds. Usually used to set puddings and cheesecakes (yum) gelatin can also be used as a DIY fabric stiffener.

I want to make some fabric flowers that need a little stiffening but not too much because they need to be gathered with a running stitch. Some of the technologies we use are necessary for critical functions like security and site integrity, account authentication, security and privacy preferences, internal site usage and maintenance data, and to make the site work correctly for browsing and transactions. Allow the rice water you poured off to cool a bit and when safe to handle, use it to stiffen fabric. It can be used for virtually any fabric, and can be thinned down with water by up to 50% to achieve just the right amount of stiffness for the type of fabric you are using.

Pour the mix, (use a funnel to avoid spillage) into a spray bottle and shake it up before spraying onto the fabric until the fabric is soaked. Clean-up is with soap and cool water – try to do any clean-ups when working with fabric stiffeners as soon as possible otherwise it is much more effort once the stiffener has hardened. There are commercial stiffening agents available that spray on and keep the fabric stiff while you work with the sculpture or craft of your choice. I did use some fray check on the edges just to make sure it wouldn’t need any more attention than that. This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Remember that the material will be dipped directly into the mix, so it is advisable to use a big container so that it can accommodate the fabric to be dipped.Interfacing comes in different weights and stiffness’s, so you can choose the one that best suits your needs. Florists use stiffened fabric for bows on arrangements, sculptors use stiffener when sculpting with fabric, crafts people use stiffeners in hundreds of applications and dressmakers use either interfacing, boning, or stiffener to get a professional looking finish.
