INTRODUCTION:

1.S.M ARE USED TO ENHANCE THE

APPEARANCE, & PERFORMANCE OF
THE GARMENTS.
2. FASHION TRENDS TEND TO CREATE
THE DEMAND OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF
SUPPORT MATERIALS.

4. SUPPORT MATERIALS SELDOM ARE

MENTIONED IN THE LABELS.
5. S.M MUST BE COMPACTIBLE WITH THE
SHELL FABRICS.
6. SELECTION & APPLICATION OF SUPPORT
MATERIALS PLAY MAJOR ROLE IN
SUCCESS & PERFORMANCE OF THE STYLE
OF THE GARMENT.

1.

S.M ARE IMP. INTRINSIC QUALITY OF

GARMENTS & USED FOR PROVIDING
SHAPE, STABILITY, REINFORCEMENT AT
STRESS POINTS, RETENTION IN ORIGINAL
APPEARANCE, & CONCEAL THE INTERIORS
OF THE GARMENT.

2. SEVERAL & DIFFERENT TYPES OF S.M ARE

USED FOR GARMENTS, BUT NOT ALL
GARMENTS REQUIRE S.M.

3. S.M ARE OFTEN UNIQUE TO THE SPECIFIC

FUNCTION FOR WHICH IT HAS BEEN
DEVELOPED.
4. THEY ARE AVAILABLE IN WIDE VARIETYS
WITH VARIETY OF PHYSICAL
CHARACTERISTICS, PERFORMANCES &
COSTS.
5. MANUFACTURERS SHOULD DETERMINE
THE NEED FOR S.M IN A PARTICULAR
STYLE DURING SAMPLE DEVELOPMENT.

7. MANUFACTURERS MAY ALSO CONSIDER

MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS,
TECHNICAL INFORMATION, & PRODUCT
TEST RESULTS BY SUPPLIERS.
9. MANUFACTURERS MAY ALSO DO THE
TEST IN THE FIRM BCOZ OF CANGES IN
THE STYLE, PIECE GOODS, & MATERIALS.
10. USE OF IMPROPER S.M BECOMES
APPARENT AFTER A PEROD OF TIME.

1.

FOR COMAPCTIBILITY TWO THINGS ARE IMP.

ASTHETIC & PERFORMANCE. THESE
PROPERTIES AFFECT THE COMAPCTIBILITY OF
S.M WITH FABRIC & APPLICATION METHODS.

2. THE FACTORS THAT AFFECT THE

COMPACTIBILTY ARE HAND, FLEXIBILITY,
HEAT SENSITIVITY, PRESSURE
SENSITIVITY.

1.

ARE THE MATERIALS THAT ARE FUSED OR

SEWN TO THE SPECIFIC AREAS OF THE
GARMENT OR GARMENT COMPONENTS.

2. THEY PROVIDE SHAPE, SUPPORT,

REINFORCEMENT, IMPROVED
PERFORMANCE OF THE GARMENTS.
3. HUNDERDS OF INERLININGS ARE PROVIDED
BY THE SUPPLIERS TO DIFFERENT VARIETYS
OF FABRICS.

4. BUT SOMETIMES SPECIAL INTERLININGS

ARE ENGINEERED BY SUPLLIERS.
5. SELECTION OF INTERLININGS WITH
APPROPRIATE PROPERTIES FOR FABRIC &
STYLE REQUIRES KNOWLEDGE,PROCESS
TO BE USED & COMPACTIBITLITY
FACTORS..ETC.
6. AS STYLING REQIURES CHANGE,
PRODUCERS OF INTERLININGS CREATE
NEW VARIETY OF FABRICS WITH
DIFFERENT WEIFHTS & FIBRE CONTENT &
ALSO BULKINESS.

1.THE MAIN FUCTIONS OF INTERLININGS ARE

TO GIVE GREAT PERFORMANCE
TO GIVE ASTHETIC APPEARNACE.
2. PERFORMANCE:

INTERLININGS PERFORMANCE MAY BE

EVALUATED BY 2 WAYS PERFORMANCE
DURING PRODUCTION & PERFORMANCE
IN THE FINISHED GARMENT.

3.MANUFACTURERS MAY SELCT CERTAIN

TYPES OF INTERLININGS TO GIVE
HANDLING & IMPROVE SEWABILITY OF
THE FABRICS.

4. INTERLINGS ARE ALSO USED UNDER

EMBROIDERY TO STABILISE FABRICS FOR
BETTER STITCHING.

1.

2.

3.

APPROPRIATE CHOSEN INTERLININGS

PROVIDE THE FOUNDATION FOR SHAPE
& HAND OF THE GARMENTS &
STABILITY TO MAINTAIN THE SAME
DURING USE, CARE,& STORAGE.
A FIRM WITH HIGH QUALITY STANDARS
MAY DETERMINE THE SHRINKAGE OF
EITHER INTERLINING OR FABRIC IS
UNACCEPTABLE.
THE HAND PROPERTY REFERS TO
DRAPE, STIFFNESS & SOFTNESS OF
THE MATERIAL USED IN THE GARMENT.

4. THE FACTORS THAT AFFECT THE HAND

ARE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION,
STRUCTURE, COATING, & RESINS
MAY AFFECT THE HAND PROPERTY.
5. A INTERLINING MAY BE STIFF BUT LIGHT
WEIGHTED WITHOUT BULK. STIFFNESS IS
REQUIRED TO THOSE GARMENTS THAT
REQUIRES A SUPPORT.
6. INTERLININGS WITH TOO STIFF CAUSE
ROLLED EDGES TO BREAK & BUCKLE.
7. SOME COLLAR STYLES REQUIRES SOFT,
BUT NOT LIMP.

1.

2.

FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTE THE

CHARCTERISTICS OF INTERLININGS ARE FIBRE
CONTENT, WEIGHT, & FABRICATION.
FABRIC CONTENT:
FABRIC CONTENT CONTRIBUTES TO
STRENGTH, HAND, WEIGHT, &
RESILENCY OF THE INETERLINING.
PLOYSTER & NYLON ARE OFTEN USED IN FIBRE
WEBS, WOVENS & KNITS TO CONTRIBUTE TO
STRENGTH, STABILITY, & RESILENCY.

MONOFILAMENT NYLON FIBRE MAY BE

USED FOR STIFFNESS & RESILENCY
PRODUCING LIGHT WEIGHT MATERIAL WITH
LITTLE BULK.

THE CONTRIBUTION OF COTTON & RAYON

IS SOFTNESS & HAND. WOOL & HAIR
FIBRES MAY BE USED TO PROVIDE THE
RESILENCY & COMPACTIBILITY WITH WOOL
PIECES GOODS.

WEIGHT:
INTERLINIG ARE AVAILABLE IN WIDE
RANGE OF WEIGHS FROM 0.4 TO 4.0
OUNCES/SQ.YD.
HEAVIER INTERLININGS PROVIDE MORE
SUPPORT FOR HEAVIER & STRUCTURED
GARMENTS SUCH AS COATS,SUITS.
LIGHT WEIGHT INTERLININGS PROVIDE
RESILENCY & SOFT HAND & SOME
SUPPORT.

1.

INERLININGS ARE AVAILABLE IN 4 BASIC

FORMATIONS.
FIBRE WEBS
WOVENS
KNITS

2. FIBRE WEBS MAY HAVE LESS STRENGHT,

BUTDO NOT RAVEL IN HANDLING.
3. THE PERFORMANCE OF FIBRE WEB
INTERLINING IS CLOSELY LINKED TO FIBRE
CONTENT, FABRIC WEIGHT, FIBRE
ORIENATION, IN THE WEB.

4. FIBRE WEBS ARE HAVING FIBRES OF

RANDOMLY DISTRIBUTED OR
ORIENTED IN LENGTH WISE DIRECTION.
5. LENGTH WISE ORIENT WEBS PROVIDE
STRENGHT IN LENGTHWISE DIRECTION.
6. PILLING IS MAJOR PROBLEM OFTEN
ASSOCIATED WITH FIBRE WEBS SINCE
FIBRE WEBS TEND TO HAVE LOW
ABRASION RESISTANCE.
7. ABRASION FROM THE GARMENT ITSELF
MAY CAUSE PILLS TO FORM WITH THE
SHELL FABRIC.

WOVEN INTERLININGS:
1. ARE USUALLY PLAIN WEAVE & PRODUCED
BY ALMOST EVERY FIBRE.
2. THE FABRICATION PROCESS IS
EXPENSIVE.
3. THESE INTERLINES HAVE RAVELING &
SHRINKAGE PROBLEM.
4. THE PERFORMANCE OF THE INTERLINING
CAN ALTER THE PERFORMANCE OF SHELL
FABRIC.
5. WOVEN INTERLININGS USED IN COLLARS,
FRONT PLACKET, CUFFS.

KNIT INTERLININGS:

1.

USED FOR INTERLINING ARE PRIMARILY

WARP KNIT TRICOTS, RASCHELS.

1.

THESE INTERLINIGS ARE PRODUCED IN

VARIETY OF WEIGHTS.

INTERLINING APPLICATIONS:
THERE ARE 2 BASIC MEANS OF APPLYING
INTERLININGS.
FUSIBLE INTERLININGS
NON- FUSIBLE INTERLININGS.
1. FUSIBLE INTERLININGS:

ARE FABRICATIONS COATED WITH FOAM

OF RESIN OR ADHESIVES THAT SERVES
AS A BONDING AGENT TO HOLD THE
INTERLINIGS TO THE SHELL FABRICS.

THE SHELL FABRICS MAY BE OF WOVENS,

KNITS.
F.I MUST BE FUSED TO SHELL FABRIC
PRIOR TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE
GARMENT COMPONENT.
THE FUSIBLE PROCESS USUALLY
REQUIRES THE GARMENT PIECES BE
INDIVIDUALLY MATCHED WITH INTERLING
PIECES & THEN FUSED TOGETHER.
FUSED GARMENTS COMPONENTS HAVE
MORE WEIGHT, DO NOT RAVEL & EASY
TO HANDLE WHILE SEWING.

FUSING IS PROCESS OF BONDING FABRIC

LAYER BY APPLICATION OF HAET & PRESSURE
FOR A SPECIFIC AMOUNT OF TIME.
THE TIME REQIURED FOR FUSING IS CALLED
DWELL TIME.
THE PRECISE OF FUSING PROCESS DEPENDS
ON 3 ELEMENTS.
HAET SOFETNS THE RESIN ON THE INTERLINE
PRESSURE THAT RESIN & FORCES IT ON TO
THE FABRIC SURFACE.
TIME NEEDED FOR APPLICATION OF HAET &
PRESSURE.

COOLING TIME IS ALSO NECESSARY TO

ALLOW THE RESIN TO SET IN THE FABRIC.
FUSING MAY ASLO REQUIRES MORE
LABOUR INITIALLY BUT IT MAY ALSO
REDUCE HANDLING & IRREGULARITIES IN
ASSEMBLING.
THE TYPES OF EQUIPMENT USED IN THE
FUSING IS
ROLLER PRESSES
FLAT BED PRESSES
CONTINEOUS PRESSING MACHINE
IRONS

ROLLER PRESSES ARE OCCASSIONALLY

USED FOR FUSING INTERLININGS.
THEY HAVE MORE CONSISTENCY IN HEAT,
PRESSURE & TIME.
FOR FLATBED PRESSES GARMENT PIECES
ARE PLACED FACE DOWN ON CONTINEOS
TRAY OR CARRIER & FUSING
INTERLININGS ARE PLACED ON
ACCURATLY ON THE GARMENT PIECE.
THE FUSED PIECES ARE STACKED &
BUNDLED FOR NEXT PROCESS.

CONTINEOUS PRESSING M/C ARE HAVING

HIGH PRODUCTIVIY & CONROLLED HAET
& PRESSURE THROUGH OUT THE
PROCESS.
HE INITIAL COST IS VERY HIGH.
THE IRONS HAVE LIMITED USE IN FUSING
INTERLINING. THEY MAY BE USED FOR
APPLICATION OF SMALL PIECES OF F.I TO
REINFORCE STRESS POINTS IN THE
GARMENT.
THE MAIN PROBLEM WITH IRON FUSING
IS INCONSISTENCY OF PRESSURE , DWELL
TIME & TEMP.

SEWING INTERLININGS:
SEWIN INTERLINING ARE SEWN DIRECTLY
COMPONENT. THEY REQUIRE EXTRA
HANDLING & MANIPULATIONS DURING
SEWING PROCESS.
SEWING REQIURES PROPER PLACEMENT
& ACCURATE GRAIN ALLINGMENT. THEY
MAY STRETCH OR DISTORT AS SEWN
CAUSING SEAM PUCKERING & TWISTING.
IF APPLIED CORRECTLY SEWN IN
INTERLINES ARE TEND TO HAVE FEWER
PERFORMANCE PROBLEMS THAN
FUSIBLES.

SEWIN INTERLINES MAY ATTACHED AT

DIFFERNET STAGES DURING
CONSRUCTION OF COMPONENT.
THE MORE SEWING THAT IS DONE TO
SECURE THE INTERLININGS, THE LESS
THE DISTORTION OF THE GARMENT.
