Vilene interlining specially for stretch fabrics<\/h2>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
With the stretch fabrics of today you need an interlining that has stretch as well. There is vilene interfacing of 75 to 90cm wide and the stretch tapes by vilene.<\/p>\r\n
Types of stretch vilene interlining<\/h2>\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Which interfacings are there for stretch fabrics? Vilene has made 3 types that are suitable for different fabrics and garments.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Are you sewing a T-shirt from a jersey fabric the most used are H609 vilene and jerseyfuse vilene. The difference between the 2 is how they stretch.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Vilene H609<\/h3>\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
This one is extremely elastic. In the width and the length and it stretches a lot too! It’s name extreme elastic is certainly not extravagant.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Because it has so much stretch it is very suitable for thin, baggy jersey that you want to keep from bagging. You can even fuse it to the entire front if your pattern or fabric requires it.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Mostly you will reinforce small pieces like facing with this type of interlining.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
H609 vilene interlining is a thin type of interfacing. Looks a little like chiffon fabric, also see through and elastic…<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Jerseyfuse interlining<\/h3>\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Jerseyfuse interlining is the first stretch Vilene that was launched. It has only width stretch. So if you would fuse the entire front it will nog sag and give in the width when you move.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
The jerseyfuse vilene is a nice and thin cloth and has a very fine checkered look. You can see the plain weave (very fine) and it’s a transparent.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Use jerseyfuse also in stretch waistbands, facing of necklines and offcourse in that beautifull dress made from the heavier jersey: Punti di Roma.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
G770 vilene<\/h3>\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Vilene number 3 is the G770. This one is specially made for heavier stretch fabrics and is commonly used in jackets made from stretch fabric.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Are you sewing a garment for a party of business lunch, you would likely make a fitted garment. That’s when this vilene comes in handy!<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Choosing the correct type of interlining is not an exact science. Therefore think in advance which parts you would like to reinforce and how much sturdier your fabric needs to become. And remenber: You do not have to use one type of interfacing for all parts, combining is possible…<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
If you are not sure which type to choose you can always buy samples. Try them on the fabric and make a better choice!<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Stretch vilene tapes<\/h2>\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
The good thing about the Vilene brand is that they are in touch with the market and have special tapes like waistshaper, hemtape etc. There are also stretchy tapes, stretchfix hemtape and flexible edgetape.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Stretchfix Hemtape<\/h3>\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Like the name suggests Stretchfix hemtape is meant for the hem of clothing. The non-stretch fabrics are fused with bondaweb and Stretchfix is a stretchy bondaweb. Ideal for elastic hems.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
![\"Stretchfix](\"https:\/\/beautyvof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/stretchfix.png\")
\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Stretchfix is transparent, just like bondaweb. The width is different, the bondaweb is 2cm, Stretchfix is 3cm wide. A great size for the hems of T-shirts, jackets, skirts and dresses. And if it’s too wide? Just cut it in half!\u00a0<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Next to hemtape stretchfix is also available at 30cm wide. Maybe you have made appliqu\u00e9 with bondaweb at some point? Then you know what to do with stretchfix: Appliqu\u00e9 on stretchfabrics, that’s right!\u00a0<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Flexible Edgetape<\/h3>\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
![\"Flexibel](\"https:\/\/beautyvof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/flex-nb.png\")
<\/figure>\r\nElastic tape specially for the seams of stretch fabrics<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Edgetape is a very old product, vilene has sold this for many years. Now there is flexible edgetape, a new version. This one is stretchy and you fuse it to the edge of the fabric. Flexible edgetape is a little wider than standard edgetape. With 1,5cm you have a more room.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
It is a thin interlining that will not show on the right side of most fabrics. Although a test is always a good idea….<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Flexible edgetape is available in packs of 5m or roll of 50m.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Do you like stretch fabrics? Try the large roll!<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Ironing elastic stretch Vilene interlining<\/h2>\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Ironing on stretch interfacing is done without moving the iron. If you move the iron over the interlining it will stretch and contort the fabric underneath. So do not move the iron on the surface, lift it up and put it down on the next spot. Step by step works best.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n

<\/figure>\r\nA good tip:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Put the front on the ironing board and check with the pattern to see if you have placed it correctly. So that the straight edge is straight and you haven’t stretched it too much. The more precise you work when applying interlining the better the end result will be and it will be easier to sew.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
