Interfacings are typically fused to the back of fabrics. Most interfacings are fusible (also known as iron-on). Fusible interfacing has a layer of heat-activated adhesive on one side. The adhesive is activated by a combination of heat and steam from an iron. Simply lay it onto the wrong side of your fabric and iron it into place. Interfacing is particularly good for reinforcing fabrics, in other words making fabrics stiffer and stronger.

Interlinings are usually layered between the exterior and the lining of bags. Interlining is soft and is typically sew-in (as opposed to fusible) and it is cut to the same shape as the fabric pattern piece(s). The interlining piece is paired with the fabric piece and both are treated as one layer during stitching, thus the interlining is applied by sewing it into the seams of your bag. Interlining is particularly good for adding support to bags by adding a layer of padding – perfect if fabrics are on the thin side and/or you want your bag to feel soft, plump and padded.
