Fusing
The process of bonding fusible interfacing to the wrong side of the fabric using heat and pressure to add stability.
Where it is used
Verifying Seam Lengths
p. 1- After fusing, compare the seam lengths on the fabric pieces with the seam lengths on the paper pattern to ensure they match perfectly.
Fusing Edges
p. 5- Fuse the neckline and armhole edges on the back and front pieces with bias grain non-woven fusible tape on the wrong side. Apply the tape 1.5 cm wide, starting 2-3 mm from the raw edge. The machine stitching line must land exactly on the main thread (grainline) of the tape. After fusing, compare the length of the edges with the paper pattern—they must match. Fuse the center back seam and the center back seam of the trousers pieces with straight grain non-woven fusible tape under the zipper attachment.

Fusing
p. 5- Fuse the pattern pieces from the wrong side: placket pieces, neckline plackets for the front and back, and facing pieces for the neckline plackets.
Fusing
p. 5- Apply a strip of interfacing to the seam allowance where the placket attaches to the front, on the wrong side, along the entire seam perimeter.
