Hi Nehzat,

    In the skirt sewing video you used interfacing for the abutted slit.  So I have a question about other types, for example I made a skirt with an inverted pleat, I didn't put any interfacing in the area, so I started wondering about other kinds of pleats, such as kick pleats and so forth.   How do we know when to use the interfacing?

Thank You,

Carol

Re: When to use Interfacing for Skirt Slits

Dear Carol,

If the pleats in the skirt have an opening that's when we need to use interfacing. This way the fabric can hold its shape better in this area.

Happy sewing,

Nehzat

Ok, that makes sense, thank you very much, Nehzat.  I appreciate your help with my questions.

Thanks again,

Carol
