Interlining and Volume Fleece Knowledge
What is interlining?
Vlieseline is a brand name of the manufacturer Freudenberg which is synonymous with interfacings such as iron-on interfacings or sewing interfacings. It is a material which, when correctly applied by ironing or sewing, reinforces another material such as a fabric and thereby gives it shape, volume and stability. These interfacings are usually made of wool or wild silk. Vlieseline products are extremely popular as interfacings among amateur and professional tailors. The range of applications when it comes to sewing is very wide. Whether for appliqués, edges, fringes, seams or loops - Vlieseline is a great tool for implementation, especially for patchwork and quilting.
Why is interlining sold by the meter or volume fleece sold by the meter actually needed?
Beginners to sewing often ask themselves why interlining, fixing material and volume fleece are needed at all. They are mostly used to give shape and stability or to serve as lining. They are therefore mainly suitable for:
- to retain warmth in the garment as a lining material
- to facilitate creative application and design tasks
- to give the sewing project structure and volume
- to protect small parts such as buttons from tearing off
- for reinforcing cutouts or facings
- to reinforce the waistband and button placket
The individual interlining products cover different areas and fulfil different functions. There are fixing interlinings that you can iron on and interlinings that have to be sewn in. Interlining products are not only suitable for giving light and thin fabrics more stability, volume or structure, they can also be used creatively. With the help of interlinings, for example, great looks can also be created. Beautiful, playful gathers on sleeves or necklines are possible using Framilastic. Vliesofix sticks on both sides and is therefore perfect for applying appliqués for decoration, embellishment and individual design. As a volume fleece, it is wonderfully suitable for the lining of jackets, quilts or blankets in the patchwork area. In addition to the design, stability is of course a frequently desired factor. Interlining is well suited to reinforcing bags and backpacks and even shirt collars.

What are the benefits of Vlieseline interlinings?
Fabric inserts are structurally made of a dense weave structure. This results in high stability. G700 to G785 is primarily used to bring stability to clothing and give it shape without lining. Visually, fabric inserts differ from fleece inserts with their loosely connected fibers due to the visibly interwoven threads.
What are Vlieseline fleece inserts?
In contrast to fabric interlinings, which are made from a woven structure, fleece interlinings consist of loose fibers that are connected to one another. Depending on the design, fleece interlinings are thinner, stronger or more voluminous. They are mainly used for small parts such as reinforcing facings and collars. Popular in this category are H200 and H180, which are very suitable for fine, light fabrics.
What is volume fleece used for?
As the name suggests, volume fleece is used to create volume or shape and stability. Possible uses include sewing projects such as patchwork blankets, bags, cases, etc. Here, better stability can be achieved using volume fleece such as H630 and H640. Volume fleece such as H280 is also ideal as a lining for warm clothing for the colder seasons.
The highly solidified 272 Thermolam, which conducts only a small amount of heat and thus has a heat-insulating effect, can be used for runners, wall hangings and table mats, for example. It is also very suitable for potholders or for protection, as an ironing pad for embroidery or similar.
What is the application area of fusible interlinings from the Vlieseline creative range?
The right interfacing can be very useful even for creative design projects such as applique work. Vliesofix, for example, is one such material. The double-sided iron-on interfacing is simply ironed onto the back of the applique motif by pressing it on. The image to be appliqued can then simply be cut out. The carrier film on the back then has to be removed and you can align the applique on the textile and press it on. Now nothing can slip and you can easily sew on the reinforced applique.
Stylevil is also very popular with DIY fans. Stylevil is a reliable helper when it comes to padding and protecting valuables inside bags, covers and cases, etc. However, it not only offers an advantage in terms of storage, but is also suitable for shaping and giving a good stand.
What is the purpose of interfacing tapes?
When you think of tapes from the interlining manufacturer Freudenberg, you immediately think of Bundfix, Framilastic and Formband. Bundfix with the pre-made punch lines is ideal for making skirt and trouser waistbands quickly and easily without drawing or marking. When sewing, you simply follow the guidelines. With Bundfix, the waistband also stays in shape permanently. Framilastic is used to maintain the shape of elastic seams. It is used primarily for gathers and ruffles. The ironable Formband is a diagonally cut tape that is used to secure diagonally and rounded edges, such as necklines and sleeves.
