Interlining is the skeleton of the entire garment, which is related to the overall shape of the garment. Different interlinings have different functions in different parts.
The interlining is based on woven fabrics, knitted fabrics and non-woven fabrics, using (or not using) thermoplastic polymer compounds, which are specially processed by special machinery, and are used for reinforcement and crispness of the inner layers of clothing or shoes and hats. Clothing accessories that are bonded (or non-bonded) to the fabric.
The influence of interlining on clothing
✦ Gives clothing a good shape ✦
Playing the role of skeleton, under the premise of not affecting the feel and style of the fabric, with the help of the stiffness and elasticity of the lining, the garment can be flattened or achieve the expected shape.
✦Improve the wrinkle resistance and strength of clothing✦
For thin-fabric garments, use fusible interlining on the collar and lapels, as well as the placket and front body, to make the garment flat and wrinkle-resistant. There is an extra layer of lining to protect and fix the darts and seams, so that the fabric will not be overstretched and worn, and the durability will be increased.
✦Make garment hems clear, straight and beautiful✦
It has the function of modifying and beautifying. It can make the folding line more straight and clear, and make the clothing more beautiful.
✦Maintains shape and size stability of garments✦
There are some parts with curved shape and slanted strands in the cut pieces, such as collar pockets and armholes, etc., which can ensure the stability of clothing structure and size; Buttonholes, etc., can make it difficult to stretch and deform, and the garment shape is stable and beautiful.
✦Reduce the difficulty of operation✦
When encountering thin and soft fabrics during sewing, the grip of the fabric will be improved due to the presence of the lining.
The matching relationship between interlining performance and fabric performance
1. The thickness of the fabric is directly proportional to the thickness of the interlining. The fabric of clothing is relatively thick, and the interlining is also relatively thick, mainly woven interlining; on the contrary, the fabric of clothing is thin, and the interlining is also relatively thin. For thicker fabrics, the glue dots of the lining become larger, and the distance between the glue dots increases, which also ensures the bonding effect and softness. The base fabric of thin fabrics becomes thinner, the glue spots become smaller, and the density increases to ensure better bonding effect, glue-tightness and softness.
2. The elasticity of the fabric is directly proportional to the elasticity of the interlining. Corresponding elastic fabrics use elastic interlining, so as to protect the original characteristics of special fabrics.
A good skin should match a good inner core. The appearance of a garment is inseparable from the interlining, so is a good garment and a good interlining. If the interlining is the skeleton, then a good interlining is the essence of the garment.
