Fusible Interlacing has which fabric structure?

• A. Knitted jersey
• B. Woven fabric with glue
• C. Wet-laid fiberweb, adhesive bonded
• D. Nonwoven spunbond

Answer: (C)

Fusible interlacing relies on a nonwoven base that can carry a heat-activated adhesive and fuse cleanly to the fabric. The wet-laid fiberweb, adhesive bonded structure fits this purpose perfectly. In the wet-laid process, fibers are suspended in water to form a uniform web, which is then bonded with adhesive to create a cohesive, soft, and drapable sheet. This nonwoven foundation accepts the adhesive layer and responds reliably to heat and pressure, giving a stable bond to the garment fabric without the bulk or stretch you’d get from a knitted or woven base. Knitted jersey is too stretchable and unstable for interlinings, and a woven fabric base—even with glue—does not align with the typical fusible interlining construction, which centers on a nonwoven structure. While nonwoven spunbond is also nonwoven, it’s a different type of web and isn’t the standard form used for fusible interlinings that rely on the wet-laid, adhesive-bonded approach.
