I saw a video of coat sleeve hem shortening.  In this video, original and the new interfacing used is the woven sew-in interfacing.  Is it ok to replace this with fusible non-woven interfacing or fusible tricot?    And if it's ok with fusible tricot, on what grain line I should cut it, vias or cross grain?

Re: Fusible of Tricot Interfacing

Dear jnjewel, 

You can use fusible interfacing if you like, non-woven or tricot. If you use tricot then you should cut it cross grain and place it parallel to the hemline.

If you are using velvet or velour you should not be using fusible interfacing. It is best to always to test your fabric with the fusible interfacing first.

 

If you are doing alteration it is best to use the same kind of interfacing as the original one on the garment.

 

Happy sewing,

Nehzat
