Can I dye fabric that has been interfaced?

0

It would probably be best to dye the fabric and interfacing before the are cur and sewn. If you sew the two together and then dye, there may be shrinkage that could cause puckering at the seams as well as the obvious reduction in length and width of the fabric and/or interfacing. You can always do a couple test samples; one sewn and the other not to see how the dye you have selected reacts. Interfacing does not show, so why bother dying – or just use the fashion fabric as interfacing – this is what home users did before interfacing was available in fabric departments and stores.
