Best sewing interfacing according to redditors

I use Swedish Tracing Paper or Bosal Create-A-Pattern. I usually have to modify the pattern, sometimes blending more than once size, so I trace off the parts I need and blend them with French curves. I do a rough pin fit.

If it needs more work, I make another pattern, if not, I transfer the markings to muslin and go through as many rounds of that as necessary.Then I transfer to fabric. If I'm happy with the finished pattern, I transfer it to oak tag paper and hang it on a pattern hook.

I transfer markings to the wrong side of fabric with tailor's chalk or a chalk pencil.

You don't have to fuse anything. You would literally use a patch of stiff fabric on the inside, place the patch where you want it, sew it down by hand or machine, and then cut the access backing off when you're done.

Something like THIS

Tip: after printing your design, let it dry a bit then with a warm iron, set the design. Then you can peel off the back and put it on your fabric. This will prevent ink from bleeding onto your finished embroidery when you wash it off.

I've used this before with no issues. It didn't add too much weight and didn't make it too stiff. The grid is helpful for making sure that your squares are square.

That's the interfacing I got. I just wanted to try it. Every time I'm at the fabric store, I pick up something I don't know how to use and try it out. This was avery very pleasant surprise.

That's the picot foot. It makes life a whoooole lot easier!

I read online that this was a good match for 100% cotton, which is what the towel was, but it's a good match for most fabrics. I would double check the specs of the fabric you're using though because you want to use an interfacing that matches it in strength, fiber, and stretch.

Just get some regular fabric and waste canvas. Also some interfacing to keep the back together.

So based on this interlining and interfacing seem to be used interchangeably. What is that tie shaped thick fabric that gives my tie its shape. In one of the images in the link it is seen poking out of the tie.

Should that be snugly fit to the tie or smaller? Is it prole to shrinkage. Thank you for your response! I will try steaming
