Dimension – Embroidery Interfacing

This is pressed on with a steam iron (or steam press) to the BACK of an embroidery – so that the embroidery is covered with a soft and sheer layer.

This is ideal for covering embroidery that will be in contact with the skin.

It is not necessary for embroidered items that will not come in contact with the skin.

Black – used on Dark colour fabric.

“Dimension” embroidery interfacing refers to a type of stabilizer used to add support and structure to fabrics during the embroidery process. It helps maintain the shape and integrity of the fabric, preventing distortion and ensuring clean, precise stitching. Here are some aspects of dimensional embroidery interfacing:

1. **Stability**: Provides excellent support for fabrics, especially those that may stretch or are prone to distortion. It helps maintain fabric integrity under the stress of embroidery stitches.

2. **Preventing Distortion**: By stabilizing the fabric, this interfacing minimizes puckering and shifting, essential for achieving professional and clean embroidery results.

3. **Variety**: Available in different weights and types, such as cut-away, tear-away, or fusible, to suit various fabric types and embroidery needs. The choice depends on the type of fabric and the complexity of the embroidery design.

4. **Usage**: Typically hooped with the fabric during embroidery. Once the stitching is complete, excess interfacing is cut or torn away, depending on its type, leaving the embroidery smooth and supported.

5. **Dimensional Embroidery**: Offers enhanced body and structure, which is particularly useful for designs that are meant to stand out or have a three-dimensional aspect.

Using the right type of embroidery interfacing is crucial for achieving high-quality results, as it underpins the fabric and helps maintain the desired appearance of the embroidered design throughout its use.
