How to Use Stable Interfacings - a guide to Decovil 1 & Decovil 1 Light

[@foxo4992]

Very helpful tutorial for the hat I am wanting to create. The world of interfacings can be daunting, but this simplifies things a lot, regarding the construction of the brim. I think the Vlieseline Light will probably do the trick. Perhaps two layers?

Decovil light is great for hat brims - if you're looking for a more solid version the Decovil 1 would be a great option.

Is there a difference between the 2 brands Vilene Decovil vs Pellon Decovil? Or are they the same thing but Pellon is just the brand more accessible in the US? I know they each have their light and heavy versions but I'm seeing some ppl use the Vilene which has a brownish color and then others use Pellon which is lighter and I'm confused on if one is better than the other.

Good question- let me find out and get back to you!

Thanks for your question, I've taken a look into this and Pellon Decovil is sold in the US and Vlieseline (previously known as Vilene in some areas) Decovil is sold in the rest of the world. I don't have any comparable samples of the Pellon, so it would be down to the individual consumer on preference. Are you looking for a stockist of Vlieseline Decovil? Or, may I offer you any guidance for selecting an suitable interlining for a specific project?
