Weft-Insertion Interfacing..What IS it ?
Submitted by Off the Cuff Style
So…What exactly *is* Weft Insertion Interfacing?
Essentially it is a combination of a woven and a knit interfacing in one!
A woven interfacing (like ProWoven Standard) has the lengthwise fiber threads (warp) and crosswise fiber threads (weft) woven together. With a weft-insertion Interfacing like ProWeft, the fiber threads are knit together and then crosswise (weft) fiber threads are woven (inserted) into the knit yardage.
Woven interfacing like ProWoven Standard are totally stable. Knit interfacing like ProTricot are soft and drapey. By combining the properties of both knits and wovens, **ProWeft is both stable and drapey.** ….making it supremely soft and flexible….and the **Most Versatile Interfacing** across a wide range of sewing applications!
I have even used it for shirt collars and cuffs!
