Recently, as interest in the quality of clothing production has risen [1–5], the performance and appearance of gar-ments and fusing techniques – especially delaminating and bubbling problems of fused composites – has become important [6–9]. Fusible interlinings improve the formabil-ity of top fabrics. They give not only a more beautiful sil-houette, but also a steady form to garments deformed from bending and shearing deformation on wearing [7, 10–12]. An adhesion of suitable fusible interlinings to top fabrics is Abstract In this study we have developed a process for optimizing fusing conditions to maxi-mize the bonding strength between a fabric and a fusible interlining before-and-after drying proc-ess using the Taguchi method. Four parameters, including types of fusible interlining, fusing tem
