AnyaCarriff Sewing Fabric
I recently acquired a 100 yd roll of Carriff Sewing Fabric. It's so long since it was discussed I can't remember everything it can be used for. How do you use it? Can it be used as interfacing, stabilizer...or?

Kaaren HobackPattern drafting/tracing is its primary use. You can also use it for a fast muslin of a new pattern. Do not use for interfacing.
It melts when ironed! at higher temps.
if I'm hand drafting an unusual collar or sleeve or cuff I build it in carriff first- often using the main properties of the printed block as the base then do whatever weird thing comes to mind to the shape.
