Where it is used
Fusing
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.
