How to Choose Interfacing from Tohkai Thermo (Thermo)

Tohkai Thermo specializes in fusible interlining, haircloth interlining, stay tape, sleeve head wadding, and shoulder pads. Materials are mainly polyester, with options including cotton and wool.

Fusible interlining is applied to the back side of the outer fabric and is suitable for areas where you want to maintain shape, reinforce, or add thickness and body. Haircloth interlining is ideal when you want to give the front panels and collar of jackets and coats three-dimensional structure and resilience. Stay tape is a good choice when you want to prevent fabric edges and seams from stretching and keep the shape from collapsing.

Customer reviews highlight ease of bonding, moderate body, a firm finish, and ease of use with a wide range of materials. They also note stretch that conforms easily to curves and a feel that is less likely to show impressions.

★★★★★

solid tape

I used it for the pocket opening.
It has just the right amount of tension and has a very solid finish.
I think it's for textile with a certain degree of firmness.

Convenient

At first, I thought it might be too thin, but it didn't come out and was easy to use, so I got it in different colors.

I currently have some SANKEI white end-capped ちテープ, and I think this FFP is good. There is also black available.

Top pick

The fabric is a little firm and suitable for all-season use, and can be used for soft and regular outerwear.
The warp yarns are 100% cotton 40/2 thread, the weft yarns are slightly finer at 1/9.5 and 1/12, and the weave density is rather loose.
The width is an easy-to-handle 113 cm, and what stands out is that, for a white honbasta type, it is very affordably priced.
A highly recommended item.

Washable Ladies' Sleeve Head Wadding

I use this for ladies’ water-washable jacket uniforms. When a sewing factory does not specify a product number, I recommend this sleeve head wadding for samples. I have been selling it for several years, and have not received any reports of cleaning mishaps.

Standard fusible interlining for a wide range of uses

This is a standard fusible interlining used for a variety of accessory applications.
We also receive many requests from factories, and it is used for a wide range of applications, including sourcing by roll as well as sleeve cuff interlining, back vent interlining, side seam interlining, and more.
Because it is 150 cm wide, cutting efficiency during processing is good, making it suitable for projects where efficiency, such as reducing waste, is a consideration.
It is also shipped frequently and inventory is relatively stable, so it is an easy fusible interlining to propose for ongoing projects.

Frequently asked questions

QCan interfacing be shipped rolled on a tube?

Basically, orders of 5 m or more will be shipped wound on a tube.

QHow should I choose interfacing?

The appropriate interlining varies depending on the face fabric material, thickness, and area of use, so we cannot give a single answer.
Please contact us via inquiries with the face fabric material, area of use (neckline, body, etc.), and desired hand feel.

If you can provide the face fabric, we can perform an adhesion test. Please request this from Interlining Adhesion Test.
By performing an adhesion test, you can find out in advance things like adhesive strength and changes in appearance.

QWhat is the difference between the whites such as KW, OW, W, and Y in fusible interlining colors?

The color notation varies by product number, but KW and W are fluorescent white, and Y and OW are off-white.
Fluorescent white is a whiter, purer white.

QWhat kind of problem is bubbling?

A condition where fine air bubbles appear to be trapped between the outer fabric and interlining. It occurs because the compatibility between the fabric and interlining is poor. It may be resolved by choosing an interlining with vertical and horizontal stretch.

QWhat kind of problem is fading?

It is when the uneven texture of the resin pellets becomes clearly visible on the surface of the outer textile. The solution is to choose interfacing with smaller resin dots.
