Seeing is believing! Traditional interfacing vs BLOCK FUSING. Wonky facings no more! examples galore

Have you gone to sew your facings to your garment and found them to be smaller and they do not fit??? what has gone wrong?? today I'm spilling all my secrets in relation to using interfacing on our sewing projects: facings, collars, plackets, cuffs, hem areas, zipper areas.....

I have put traditional interfacing methods to the test and compared them to BLOCK FUSING so you can see what method gives you the most accurate result. Seeing is believing!

I am also sharing lots of footage with examples on how to interface pieces only partially whilst still using block fusing in order to keep the shapes as close to the original as possible.
