Vlieseline G700 is a fusible woven interlining with a 100% cotton base, designed to add reliable shape and support to selected areas of light- to medium-weight fabrics. It is particularly well suited to small garment components such as shirt and blouse collars and cuffs, where a stable, neat finish is required.
Unlike a non-woven interfacing, G700 has a woven grain that must be considered when cutting. Each unit from Two Petals measures 50cm long by 90cm wide , making it a practical choice for dressmaking, shirtmaking and other projects that require a cotton-based fusible layer.

Recommended Uses
Vlieseline specifically recommends G700 for fusing small parts of blouses and shirts. Suitable applications include:
- Shirt and blouse collars
- Collar stands
- Shirt and blouse cuffs
- Other small garment sections where the pattern specifies a compatible woven fusible interfacing
Woven cotton fusibles are also used by many makers for facings, pockets, waistbands, bag linings, pouches and textile accessories. These additional uses depend on the fabric, pattern and desired finished feel, so always make a fused test sample before cutting the final project pieces. G700 adds support, but it is not a padded fleece, foam stabiliser or rigid bag-base material.
Fabric Compatibility
G700 is intended for light- to medium-weight fabrics . Compatibility cannot be determined from fibre content alone: weave, surface treatment, colour, heat sensitivity and the amount of structure required can all affect the result.
- For woven garment fabrics: compare a fused sample with an unfused piece to assess the change in weight, drape and appearance.
- For delicate or heat-sensitive fabrics: check the fabric’s care instructions and test in an inconspicuous area before applying heat or moisture.
- For stretch fabrics and jerseys: G700 is not presented by the manufacturer as a stretch interlining. Select an interfacing specifically recommended for stretch unless your pattern states otherwise.
- For highly structured or padded bags: G700 may provide general support, but a pattern may also require foam, fleece or a firmer stabiliser.
- For very lightweight or translucent fabrics: test for changes in handle, colour and show-through before use.
If you need to compare other options, browse the Two Petals range of interfacing and stabilisers before choosing the support best suited to your pattern.
How to Apply Vlieseline G700
- Test first. Fuse a small offcut of G700 to a scrap of your project fabric. Allow it to cool completely, then check the bond, surface appearance, stiffness and drape.
- Follow the grain. Cut the woven interlining lengthwise, following its thread direction and the grain direction required by your pattern.
- Position the layers. Place the fashion fabric wrong side up. Position G700 with its coated side facing down against the wrong side of the fabric.
- Cover with a damp cloth. Use a clean damp pressing cloth over the work. Vlieseline recommends a damp cloth rather than relying only on steam from the iron.
- Press one section at a time. Hold the iron on each section for approximately 12 seconds. Lift and reposition the iron rather than sliding or pushing it across the fabric.
- Cover the complete area. Work methodically so every part receives even heat, moisture and pressing time.
- Cool flat. Lay the fused pieces flat for approximately 30 minutes. Avoid folding, stretching or sewing them while the adhesive bond is stabilising.
Iron performance and fabric heat tolerance vary. Do not assume that one temperature setting will suit every project fabric. The test sample should confirm that the fabric tolerates the required application process without scorching, marking, shrinking or changing texture.
Tips for an Even, Lasting Fuse
- Use a clean, stable and heat-resistant pressing surface.
- Pre-wash or prepare the project fabric according to the fabric supplier’s instructions before cutting.
- Remove wrinkles from the project fabric before positioning the interfacing.
- Make sure the coated side faces the wrong side of the fabric.
- Use a damp pressing cloth for more even heat and moisture distribution.
- Press section by section rather than gliding the iron.
- Do not shorten the recommended pressing time without testing the result.
- Allow the full cooling period before checking the bond or sewing the piece.
- If the bond is uneven, review the application method rather than repeatedly overheating the fabric.
- Care for the finished item according to the most delicate material used in the project, even though G700 itself is washable up to 60°C.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Vlieseline G700 a medium-weight or heavyweight interfacing?
Vlieseline’s technical information classifies G700 itself as a heavyweight fusible woven interlining weighing 90gsm. The manufacturer nevertheless recommends it for use with light- to medium-weight project fabrics. These descriptions refer to two different things: the classification of the interlining and the weight range of the fabric to which it may be fused.
Which side of G700 goes against the fabric?
Place the coated, adhesive side of G700 against the wrong side of the project fabric. The uncoated side faces the pressing cloth and iron.
Should I use steam or a damp pressing cloth?
Use a damp pressing cloth. Vlieseline advises that a damp cloth provides a more stable and even result than substituting iron steam alone.
How long should I press Vlieseline G700?
Press each section for approximately 12 seconds. Lift the iron and move to the next section instead of sliding it across the fabric.
Why must G700 be cut with the grain?
G700 is a woven interlining with lengthwise and crosswise threads. Following the thread direction helps the interfacing work consistently with the grain of the project piece. Treat it like a woven fabric when positioning pattern pieces.
Can I use G700 on stretch or jersey fabric?
G700 is not identified by the manufacturer as a stretch interlining. A stretch-compatible interfacing is generally the safer choice for jerseys and elastic fabrics unless the sewing pattern specifically calls for G700. Always test before applying it to a final garment piece.
Is Vlieseline G700 the same as Pellon Shape-Flex SF101?
G700 is frequently compared with Pellon SF101 by sewing and bag-making retailers because both are woven cotton fusible products. They are made by different manufacturers and should not be assumed to be identical in weight, adhesive behaviour or finished feel. If substituting one for the other in a pattern, compare test samples first.
Can I use G700 for bag making?
It may be suitable when the goal is to add general support to compatible fabrics, linings, pockets or smaller panels. However, Vlieseline’s stated primary application for G700 is collars and cuffs on blouses and shirts. It does not replace foam padding, fusible fleece or a rigid base stabiliser when a bag pattern requires those properties.
Can finished projects containing G700 be washed?
Vlieseline states that G700 is washable up to 60°C when correctly applied. The finished project must still be washed according to the lowest temperature and gentlest care requirements of its fabric, thread, trims and other components.
What can cause fusible interfacing to peel or bubble?
Common application issues include positioning the wrong side against the fabric, uneven moisture, insufficient pressing time, sliding the iron, handling the piece before it has cooled or using a fabric finish that interferes with adhesion. A test fuse and the full 30-minute flat cooling period help identify problems before the final pieces are assembled.
Buying Summary
Choose Vlieseline G700 when your pattern requires a cotton-based woven fusible interlining for light- to medium-weight fabric and you want dependable support in collars, cuffs or other compatible small garment sections. Its 90gsm woven base, 90cm width and 50cm retail unit make it a versatile dressmaking supply, while the clearly defined damp-cloth application method helps produce an even result when carefully followed.
