Most modern interfacings have heat-activated adhesive on one or both sides. They are affixed to a garment piece using heat and moderate pressure, from a hand iron for example. This type of interfacing is known as "fusible" interfacing.11 Non-fusible interfacings do not have adhesive and must be sewn by hand or machine.
