Re: Tie back buckram
The one I use has a glue impregnated in to it which is activated by a steam iron, this is sufficient to hold the interlining.Have you registered your business yet?

Re: Tie back buckram
I am not sure what products you have available (I am in the US) but I like to use iron-on adhesive web that can be purchased in wide widths with interlining and good quality blackout lining. Still sturdy but with a bit softer feel than buckram.

Re: Tie back buckram
That sounds interesting Susan - do you cut the blackout to the exact size of the tieback like you would buckram, then iron-on the interlining? I would really appreciate a description of the construction method.Louise

Re: Tie back buckram
I am afraid that I use pelform, sometimes with a bit of interlining, sometimes without. I have a huge roll of it, don't think I will ever get it used up, but its what I am used to using and it suits me. So far customers have not complained .

Re: Tie back buckram
I hate making tie-backs!!!But I also used to say that about cushion covers. until I just had to make a load and now I seem to have cracked it....I think it is all about experience. They all get easier with time........I hope!!!

Re: Tie back buckram
Hello,
There are instructions for how to make a no-sew shaped tieback available from Rowley Company, go to the website at http://www.rowleycompany.com and click on Innovations and Technical Service, then click on "how-to's" and you will find the instructions there.
This is a fast way to make a tieback using blackout lining and iron-on adhesive web.
I also like to fuse bump interlining to face fabric using adhesive web when making sewn tie-backs with welt cord in the seams. The adhesive web adds a stiffness without using buckram and you can still turn the fabric right sides out.
I hope this helps,
Susan
I asked permission to post this information because I recently joined Rowley Company full time and I am excited to share but didn't want to overstep the bounds of vendor etiquette. Thanks!Susan Woodcock
