Interfacings, Waddings & Stabilisers Group Workshop For Sewist
Interfacings, Waddings & Stabilisers Workshop
Confused by interfacings? Not sure which wadding, stabiliser or backing is right for your project?
These friendly, practical workshops are designed to take the guesswork out of sewing materials, so you can achieve professional results with confidence – whether you sew bags, garments, quilts or embroidery projects.
What These Workshops Are About
Interfacings, waddings and stabilisers play a crucial role in how a finished project looks, feels and performs. Choosing the wrong one can lead to sagging bags, stiff garments, puckered embroidery or disappointing results overall.
In these workshops, you will learn how to choose the right product for the right purpose, based on texture, structure, fabric type and intended use.
The sessions are suitable for beginners and experienced sewists who want to deepen their understanding and make better material choices.
What You Will Learn
During the workshop, we will cover:
Types of interfacings – woven, non-woven, fusible and sew-in
Waddings and battings – thickness, density, loft and flexibility
Stabilisers – tear-away, cut-away, wash-away and specialty options
How different materials affect structure, drape and durability
Matching interfacings and waddings to:
Bag making and accessories
Dressmaking and garments
Quilting projects
Machine embroidery
General sewing and home décor
How to test and sample materials before committing to a project
Common mistakes and how to avoid them
You will also have plenty of opportunity to ask questions about your own projects and challenges.

This workshop is ideal if you:
Feel overwhelmed by the variety of interfacings and stabilisers available
Want your bags to hold their shape properly
Struggle with embroidery puckering or fabric distortion

Are tired of wasting money on unsuitable materials
Want to sew with more confidence and consistency

Understand why certain materials work better than others
