About packing fabrics

If you listen to the word "doublerin", the first thing that comes to your mind is an understudy. That is, this element certainly duplicates something or someone. And the assumption turns out to be absolutely correct - it was precisely for such purposes that a duplicate was created. What it is? This material is used to strengthen individual elements of the product when sewing. It plays the role of an additional fabric that glues from the inside or the inside of the product to the base, thereby helping to maintain the shape, volume, and strength of the product. He makes this site stronger, this will not stretch and will not lose shape. Doublerin is not the only one of its kind. There are several types of lining materials, such as non-woven fabrics, boards, spiders, mesh and many others. But what is different about them, what is it and what is its peculiarity?

Stresses details and keeps the form

Cushion doublerine is used everywhere: when sewing shoes, outerwear, hats, suits and even the most delicate ladies' blouses. Without the addition of a durability product, a beautiful belt of fabric and a handbag can not be sewn. The collar and sleeves of a man's shirt will not look proud and neat, and an elegant dress can easily lose shape after washing. Fabric doublerin can be combined with almost all types of sewing materials, including products made of fur and leather. Manufacturers have taken care of a variety of colors and that their material was high-quality, reliable and invisible. It is durable, easy to use, easy to color, does not shed or lose shape.

How does it differ from others

Fabric doublerine differs from itself similar to what is a fabric, and not just a thin synthetic cloth with sizing, as, for example, non-woven or mesh. Doublerin is made on the basis of natural materials or with the addition of synthetics. It can be very thin and elastic or dense and elastic. But in all cases it will be just woven material. And in order to duplicate harmoniously combined with a great variety of sewing materials, manufacturers produce several of its kinds. Each of them has its own specific properties and texture, and this is important to consider when buying.

Types of doublerina

The cushioning materials can have a two-sided sizing, do not have it at all, or glue to the fabric with only one side, such as a doublerine. What it is? Sizing is a thin layer of glue that has been applied to the material and dried. Under the influence of moisture and high temperature, it will return to the liquid state and securely adhere the cushioning material to the product. How strong will be this insert, depends on the fabric of which the gasket is made, and the amount of glue that was applied to it.

There are three types of doublerine:

1. Tissue is the most durable of all. It is based on dense fabric, it does not stretch, but in the company with the gluing it becomes very strong. This material is used for sewing headgear, shoes, bags, fur or leather products. It is suitable for a variety of heavy and dense fabrics.
2. Knitted nap - not as tough as fabric, but fairly dense and bulky. It is used when sewing outerwear: coats, jackets, suits. And also in making soft children's toys and a lot of other things. The nap is more pliable than the fabric, it can stretch a little, but only in one direction (along the duck thread). This feature is important to consider when sewing, otherwise the result will be directly opposite.
3. Doublerin knitted (elastic) - cushioning fabric for soft and light products. Such material is submissive and extends well in any direction. Indispensable for knitted fabrics. Use it when sewing trousers, skirts, women's dresses, shirts and blouses. Well retains and keeps the shape of the product when wearing and after a lot of washing.

How to work with him?

How to paste a doublet on a fabric and not to admit oversights? It is important to choose the kind of material that will suit your product. Professional masters recommend carrying out the decartition of the doublerin before use. This is done simply: the cushioning material is placed for a couple of hours in warm water, and then taken out and dried. You do not need to squeeze it. This is done in order to avoid possible shrinkage of the cushion fabric after the first wash. At manufacturing use natural threads, and therefore such it is quite possible.

After drying, the doublerine is ready for use:

• Cut out a suitable piece from the cushion fabric;
• Lay out on an even surface the product with which you will work;
• Place a piece of duplicate on top of the product with an adhesive side down;
• From above place the auxiliary cloth or gauze that you use when ironing;
• Apply hot iron to the surface, use steam for a better warm-up;
• The iron should be applied evenly, with tangential movements, but do not drive them from side to side;
• Allow the tissue to cool completely and only then take it in hands.

Disadvantages of the material

To avoid trouble when working with dublerin did not happen, it is important to carefully consider its use. Competently select the type of cushioning fabric for your product. If you are using a knitted fabric, please note that the direction of the filament of the duck duckling must match the direction of the weft threads of the main fabric when joining. Use the advice of experienced craftsmen and pre-tape the material. If all these rules are met, then you will not find any shortcomings, and this material will firmly become accustomed to your tested and loved ones.

Perhaps the only drawback that a doublet has is the price. For example, the cost of a knitted fabric doubles around 100 rubles per meter. And this is several times higher than the cost of conventional non-woven fabric. But! It should also be taken into account that in its production natural threads were used, and not chemical compounds, and therefore the quality and reliability of the material is much higher.
