A variety of interfacings and stabilizers from Vilene (Vlieseline) for all your craft and dressmaking needs. Use the medium interfacing for dressmaking cottons, lightweight for lighter fabrics, such as silks and chiffons and heavy weight for heavier fabrics or for a stiffer effect. NEW! we have introduced a new cotton iron-on Vilene (G700) which is ideal for dressmaking projects. This comes highly recommended by Mel who works at Hometown and is an avid dressmaker.

Lightweight Sew-in is an ideal backing for string patchwork and can be left in after sewing.
