All the descriptions of the fusing processes that have been included have represented it as a single piece of interlining, laid resin side down, on a single piece of garment fabric, laid right side down. This is referred to as single fusing and it is the safest in the sense that it is easiest to set the press conditions to achieve the correct temperature at the glue line.Some other methods of fusing in garment construction are Reserve fusing, Sandwich fusing, double fusing.
