Re: interfacing for jacket

Dear Olwyn Mary,

I cut the interfacing the same as the outside. The shrinkage that
occurs is not sufficient to have to cut a different size. You'll see
it draw up as you steam it; when it draws no more, it's ready to
attach. It will be just inside the original cut lines. Fusi-Knit is
thin enough that it won't cause a ridge.

My all time favorite, though for tailoring is fusible hair canvas.
It's a little lighter in weight than regular hair canvas. But alas, I
haven't been able to find it for a couple of years now. For this, I
cut off the seam allowances, and add an extra layer in the lapel area,
a tad smaller than the first piece attached to the entire front,
except along the roll line. By cutting right to the roll line, it
replaces the turkey stitch and twill tape used along the roll line.
All I have left is tiny scraps that I use for my doll hats--makes them
non-crushable.

Teri
