This Prym Dressmakers Iron On Interfacing is designed for sewers looking to add structure and stability to fabric components like collars, cuffs, and lapels. Its key benefit is providing professional-looking stiffness with an easy iron-on application. A potential caveat is that it is best suited for specific fabric applications and may not be ideal for all garment types. This white interfacing, made from 50% polyester and 50% viscose, measures 90 x 45 cm and is washable and dryer-safe.

It's used to add stability, shape, and stiffness to specific fabric areas like collars, cuffs, lapels, and pocket openings, preventing them from becoming limp or distorted.
The interfacing has a slightly rougher or shinier side which contains the adhesive. This is the side that should be placed against the fabric and ironed.
It's best suited for fabrics that can withstand medium-high heat ironing. Always test on a fabric scrap first, especially with delicate materials like silk or very fine synthetics.
Set your iron to a medium-high heat setting (usually suitable for cotton or linen), and generally avoid using steam during the initial application.
Press the iron firmly onto the interfacing for approximately 8-12 seconds. Ensure you cover the entire area without sliding the iron.
Yes, the interfacing is washable at up to 40 degrees Celsius. It is also dryer-safe and can be ironed.
The interfacing measures 90 cm in width and 45 cm in depth.
Ensure your iron is hot enough (suitable for the fabric) and that you are pressing firmly for the recommended time. Check that the adhesive side of the interfacing is facing the fabric. Avoid using steam during application as it can interfere with the bond.
This can happen if the iron is dragged rather than pressed, or if steam was used. Ensure a firm, stationary press. Allow the fabric to cool completely before moving it. If the issue persists, try a slightly lower iron temperature.
For finer fabrics or softer drape requirements, consider using a lighter-weight interfacing. For this specific product, ensure it is cut precisely to the needed area and not applied unnecessarily large.
Test on a fabric scrap first. For very thin or translucent fabrics, consider using a very lightweight interfacing or a colored interfacing if available and appropriate for the project.
