It is interfacing with glue on it that sticks to the wrong side of your fashion fabric or facings when heated and pressed with an iron. I prefer the knit kind as the nonwoven tends to bubble after washing and has to be pressed down again and again and again....... I've also used a woven one I liked but it was a little heavier than I usually use. It comes in various weights and adds body to certain parts of an item. You can get it at any fabric shop. Dorothy |
