3.7.2 The formation of blocks for fusible components

The pattern pieces of fusible components are grouped in one or more places within
a marker to form blocks. A rectangle or buffer of another shape is created around
each block (see Fig. 3.8). Buffers 15–30 mm wide are created around the blocks (see
Fig. 3.9).
Blocks of fusible components are also placed in the interlining markers. During
the cutting process, blocks are cut from the face fabric and its interlining. The fusing
process is then completed, and separate components are cut out from each block. The
dimensions of the blocks of fusible components must be coordinated with the width of
the work surface of the fusing press.

3.8 The creation of interlining markers

The pattern pieces of fusible components or their blocks and buffers are copied and
placed in a marker for interlining. Taking into account the requirements of the fusing
process (the increased overlap of the interlining has to be eliminated to avoid con-
taminating the work surface of a press with adhesive resin; see Section 12.2.4), all
the components cut from the interlining must be slightly smaller than their face fabric
components. Therefore, the pattern pieces and their buffers that are copied from a
