I am so happy to learn about the new source for interfacing to which Sandra has a link. I live in the desert of sewing in a small midwestern town with absolutely no fabric store access for 30 miles. When I checked the link site, everything was sold out, so this must be the best. I will continue to check and recheck for the "in stock" caption ot return.

I used to love the 60 inch wide tricot interfacing, but I have not been able to find it for a long time. This was my standby. I also loved the tie interfacing the I used for sleeve headers in jackets. Once again it has disappeared.

Sometimes I feel that the very culture of sewing is being destroyed by the "attitude of a throw away society."

I could use an udpate on the newest interfacings on the market. It has been awhile since I've purchased any (years in fact). I have many weights and brands rolled away in storage bins and was wondering if they still are useful? Will the adhesives deteriorate after time? I always worry that the glues will yellow, crackle, or pull away.

It would be wonderful to purchase a sampler of many styles, weights, and types!

That's a great point and I had wanted to mention this in my comment below, that you can purchase a swatch set from Sew Exciting. It's a wonderful way of trying these interfacing out Have a great day.

What is your favorite type of interfacing and why?

Pam Erny interfacing is all that I used, because I like how it make your garment look. It is very forgiving if you make a mistske, as I always do). It comes in different colors and types.

I have them all unless she has something new. Pro-Woven Standard Light and Med, Pro-Welft Fusible, Pro-Tricot Fusible, Pro-Tailor Deluxe Fusible. Some in different colors. I really love the handle of them. I used to use Pellon but no more!
I just made a skirt set and used the Pro Tailor Deluxe, the waist feel sooooo good.
