How to Use Interfacing on T-Shirts

How to Use Interfacing on T-Shirts

Top Tip 1: What to do if it doesn’t fuse

Top Tip 1: What to do if it doesn’t fuse

Use a pressing cloth over the T-shirt design to iron. This barrier will allow for effective ironing without a potential mess.

Top Tip 3: Cut Large

I always cut a piece of interfacing slightly larger than the T-shirt. This ensures I will be able to use as much of the T-shirt as is necessary.

Top Tip 4: Sew Stabilizer Side Up

Top Tip 4: Sew Stabilizer Side Up
