Hi:
I am a weaver and definitely NOT a seamstress. After 34 years of weaving I am finally making a blouse for myself. This time I even sampled (made a dish towel to try out pick up patterns and different wefts). My problem is that I am too far into the blouse to tear it out and after washing the towel I have realized that the fabric is going to be drapier than I want. I am using Sally Fox 10/2 naturally colored cotton as warp and weft (except pick up). Sett at 24 epi. The warp is sticking and I'm having to keep the warp tension very high and still can't get more than 20-21 ppi.
This was supposed to be simple, like a huipil and I definitely am not lining anything ever again as long as I live (Post traumatic stress from Home Ec nearly 50 years ago). It occured to me that there are all kinds of iron on fusible interfacings.
Question: Has anyone ever worn one of these interfacings next to their skin? Are they rough, or do they make you sweat? As always, if anyone has any good ideas I'd love some help.
Thanks- Kate
