   HI,

   Could you be a bit more specific about the edition of Threads that contained the article.  Thanks. Z

   The article listed in the index for lining with silk organza is issue 97, pages 67-71. But over the years there have been other articles, one in particular was by Sandra Betzina.

   The article I was referring to is #20 (Dec 1988-Jan1989) and is called the Garment Within the Garment on page 58.

   Is underlining the same as interlining??

   I believe interlining is done for warmth and is not necessarily done for the entire garment.   

   The most common example of underlining..is with a lace garment.  Underlining is cut from the main pattern pieces.  It is applied to each fashion-fabric piece separately. (I have read that it should be basted, NOT serged/sewed together at this step, that may only be one opinion.)  When the garment is assembled the two fabrics are treated as one.

   Although interlining and underlining may sewn in a similar manner they are for different purposes and use different kinds of fabrics.

   Thanks for that, I think that it is one of those Australian / American variations in terminology things ....

   A couple of weeks ago there was a rather long, lengthy thoroughly absorbing discussion about underlining, interlining, and interfacing.  You might want to check the archives under, I believe, "another underlining question" and something similar for the full discussion.  I'm not sure it will "clarify" things but it might help you decide what you want to do in a specific instance regardless of what you call it.   Zuwena

   It was only the terminology that I was unclear about; as it is used in the States. I have always used interlinig to add weight to a fabric so a taylored jacket could be made from a light weight fabric. Underling is added to a garment where there is likely to be stress for strengtheneing and interfacing is used to stiffen collars, cuffs etc.
