How to Use M Fabrics Microdot Fusible Interlining (Dot Canvas Fusing)
Microdot fusible interlining, also known as dot canvas fusing, is an essential material in sewing and tailoring. M Fabrics Microdot Fusible Interlining is widely used by tailors, fashion designers, and boutique owners to add structure, strength, and shape to garments while keeping them lightweight and comfortable.
This guide will walk you through what it is, where it’s used, and how to apply it correctly for professional results.
What Is Microdot Fusible Interlining?
Microdot fusible interlining is a lightweight non-woven fabric with tiny adhesive dots on one side. When heat is applied using an iron, these dots melt and bond the interlining to the main fabric.
It is commonly used in:
Shirt collars and cuffs
Plackets and waistbands
Kurtas, blouses, dresses, and jackets
Boutique garments and fashion designs
M Fabrics’ microdot interlining is designed to provide firm support without stiffness, making garments look neat and well-finished.
What You’ll Need
M Fabrics Microdot Fusible Interlining
Main fabric (cotton, poplin, linen, polyester blends, etc.)
Household iron (no steam)
Clean ironing surface
Pressing cloth (optional, recommended)
Step-by-Step: How to Use Microdot Fusible Interlining
Step 1: Pre-Test the Fabric
Before fusing, always test a small piece of interlining on your fabric.This ensures the heat setting is correct and avoids fabric damage.
Step 2: Cut the Interlining
Cut the microdot fusible interlining according to your pattern size.Make sure it matches the area you want to reinforce (collar, cuff, or placket).
Step 3: Place the Interlining Correctly
Lay the main fabric wrong side up.
Place the interlining on top with the dot (adhesive) side facing the fabric.
Ensure there are no wrinkles or folds.
Step 4: Set the Iron Temperature
Use medium heat (Cotton or Wool setting).
Do not use steam, as moisture can weaken the adhesive.
Step 5: Press, Don’t Slide
Press the iron firmly onto the fabric for 10–15 seconds.
Lift and move the iron to the next section.
Do not slide the iron, as it may shift the interlining.
Step 6: Allow to Cool
After pressing, let the fabric cool completely.Cooling allows the adhesive dots to set properly and ensures a strong bond.
Tips for Best Results
Always use a pressing cloth for delicate fabrics.
Avoid high heat, which can damage both fabric and adhesive.
Ensure even pressure across the entire area.
Buy sufficient interlining for the entire garment to maintain uniform stiffness.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Using steam while fusing
Placing the adhesive side incorrectly
Sliding the iron instead of pressing
Washing the garment immediately after fusing
