Frequently Asked Questions

What problem does black interfacing solve?

Grey-through — white interfacing under a dark fabric lightens it subtly, visible at faced edges and across thin blacks as a washed-out cast. Black SF101 keeps dark fabric reading fully dark.

The rule for choosing bolts?

Match interfacing value to fabric value — white under light and medium, black under dark and saturated. Bag makers working both palettes keep both bolts.

Signature use at Linda's?

Black tote and bag panels — a black quilting-cotton bag over white interfacing shows the mismatch at every seam edge; over black SF101 it reads boutique.

Any behavior difference from white?

None — same grain-true woven hand, same fuse, same wash; the dye is the entire distinction.

Dark quilt labels?

Black SF101 behind a dark label stabilizes stitching without lightening the label fabric — the same trick as white SF101, in the correct value.
