A: Each color on a package or label refers to a different product usage as it relates to your project needs. This system helps identify the correct product easily. The segments and the products they include are as follows.
Apparel
Basics: Basic Interfacing used mostly in clothing. These are some of our most popular styles and are often thought of as beginner friendly.
Luxury Fusibles: Used mostly for clothing, these exclusively fusible interfacings cater to a more experienced and quality minded consumer. They offer a more varied range of applications and featured that the Apparel Basic products lack.
Specialty: These interfacings are also mostly used for clothing and all have a specialty use not found in any of the other apparel areas. They might be used for tailoring, aiding in garment construction or have the ability to stretch or recover in a certain way.
Crafts & Home Décor
Tracing Cloths: These are non-interfacing materials used in garment/craft patterning and creation. They do not become part of the final product. 810 Tru-Grid® is the patterning material we to use with all of our Pellon Project patterns.
Stabilizers: These interfacings are firmer than Apparel interfacings and are mostly used for crafts and home décor projects but can also provide extreme support in garment construction.
Embroidery: These products are used to stabilize your embroidery material and to avoid stretching and distorting while stitching, especially while using a machine. These embroidery products are then taken out by washing away, cutting away or tearing away.
Mixed Media: Lutradur®, a mix between fabric and paper, is a spun bonded polyester sew-in for crafting, sewing, quilting and fiber art. It can be manipulated in any way paper can but has the strength and permanence of a textile. Lutradur® can be printed, painted, dyed, stamped, foiled, burned and sewn.
Quilting
Fleece: Fleece is often used in crafting and small quilting projects. Several fleeces have special qualities such as fusible adhesive and insulation. All fleeces are 45” wide.
Batting: Used for quilting and quilting products. Batting comes in a variety of fiber content and thicknesses. It is sold in prepackaged sizes (18” x18” squares, craft, throw, twin, queen and king) as wel as on boards and rolls.
