Woven fusible interlining is a process of attaching a piece of woven fabric to garments. It is a starched and dried fabric for the preparation of stitched interlining.  The fabric is then attached to the various parts of the garments by applying suitable pressure and heat.  The characteristics of this type of garment interlining contribute greatly to the aesthetics as well as the performance of interlining. The factors that affect the characteristics of this type of interlining include:

Fiber Content

Fiber content is considered one of the imperative factors in a garment woven fusible interlining process. It plays a crucial role in providing the garments with the required hand, strength, resiliency, and weight. You can develop a new interlining fabric with a single fiber or a blend of fibers to give it a different handle type as well as with a change of one or more of these fibers. You can make modifications to the products’ denier, staple length, or finish of the fabric. You can incorporate various characteristics into the interlining products, such as:

• Drape
• Firmness
• Softness
• Recoverability
• Fullness

You should bear in mind the end application to make an option of fiber. In addition to woven fabrics, you can also use non-woven or knitted substrates according to the application because of the cost of fibers, whether natural, artificial, or a blend of both..

Weight

You can create interlining fabrics for the woven fusible interlining process with fabrics, ranging in their weight from 13.56 GSMs to 135.62 GSMs. Heavier interlinings offer more support for heavier and more structured apparel, such as suits and coats. Frivolous woven interlining factors provide resiliency as well as some support, and they may offer a softer hand. Of late, the style trend has been softer, and less structured fabrics are used in men’s and women’s clothes to provide a structured look to them.

Fabrication

In the fusible interlining process, four basic fabrications are being used in the fusible interlining process, such as:

1. Woven
2. Fiber web
3. Foam lamination
4. Knit

In the woven fusible interlining process, fusible base clothes are usually woven in plain weave, which is where deform and weft interlace over and under alternate threads, offering the most compact as well as steady construction. Any type of fabric can be used to prepare for the woven interlining process. Woven substrates for the interlining process can be made from a variety of fabrics with a suitable combination, including:

• Viscose rayon
• Animal hair
• Cotton
• Acrylic fiber
• Polyester fiber
• Wool

Physical characteristics of Interlining

Fusible interlining, whether with woven or non-woven fabric, is capable of providing the garment with the highest quality and durability. This may be because of the changes in the physical as well as mechanical properties of the fabric. The physical properties of the fusible interlining process include:

Utility characteristics: These characteristics refer to changes in the wearing purpose of an item of clothing of shell fabrics with a woven fusible interlining. These interlinings chiefly affect the elongation as well as the air-permeability properties of the fabric. The application of fusible woven interfacings affected the skill of shell fabrics to recover from creasing. Fusible interlinings can decrease the air-permeability of wool fabrics and there will be a change in the stress relaxation according to the structure of the fusible interlining components. The deformation will be about 15% and the stress relaxation will usually be from 10% to 15% to 20%. The behavior of the fusible interlining can influence the instantaneous flexibility as well as the maximum stress value of the system. However, the fabric rigidity can be brought under control effectively by making use of a thermoplastic agent subsequently to provide garments with appropriate rigidity as well as to keep their shape.

Style characteristics These properties of fusible woven interlining are the changes that affect the emotional demand. Fusible interlinings that are done with a Shell fabric can have a noteworthy change on a three-dimensional form, drape of an item of clothing, and fabric handle. When fusible interlinings are applied to the face fabric, it will affect its drape, with a diverse drape configuration due to the physical configuration of the fusible interlinings. The effect of fusing and stitching interlining can create a change in the drape behavior of suiting fabrics of men with a change in drape coefficient with the types of stitches and seams used.

Durability characteristics: Durability properties of woven fusible interlining refer to the capability of the interlining fabric to keep up the style as well as the utility characteristics of a garment during its wear. This type of fusible interlining with a woven fabric provides garments with the best dry-cleaning durability as well as laundering ability. However, some garments may expose to slight changes during laundering. Fusible interlinings can exhibit some decrease in both directions and diverge the face fabric after some laundering cycles. However, the thicker the fabric is smaller the shrinkable will be.

Product production characteristics: This fusible woven interlining property may influence the working performance of the interlined products, which, in turn, may affect their quality as well as cost. Fusible interlinings produced with a woven fabric may offer a surface distortion to the shell fabric. It may also affect the stitching technology as well as performance. The binding of woven interlining fabric onto the stitching area can help lessen seam slippage considerably. However, this seam slippage may vary according to the fabric used for the interlining process.

Usually, this fabrication is costly, prone to shrinkage, and raveling.

Adhesive Points

The purpose of using fusible woven interlining is to provide garments with an appropriate look as well as stability. The fabric used in this type of interlining is considered the most important supplementary material. Usually, a thermoplastic resin is used as glue in this process for the reason that the characteristics of a shell fabric will significantly change by laminating fusible interlining. It can affect the characteristics of the garments. Thus, it is essential to know the effect of the adhesives that are to be used in this type of interlining on laminated material. Interlinings come with indifferent adhesive points, so by making use of the thermoplastic resin to attach, adhesive interlinings are the delegate material to provide clothing with an appropriate appearance and constancy.
