Just out of curiosity, do you have a preference for fusible
or sew-in interfacing, or does it vary with fabric choice
and project?

It varies with the fabric and project. Sometimes a perfect fusible is
the way to go and sometimes a sew-in is the only option. Even with
tailored projects it varies: For a good wool I'd hand tailor. Poly and
poly blend suiting usually responds better to fusibles and speed
tailoring. For light weight silk I often interface or interline with
silk organza.

Normally, I use the Pellon brand of which ever type I need since most of the
time it is usually easy to find in stores like Jo-Ann's, Hancock's. I buy
the one that, INMO, will be best for the fabric & pattern.

My first choice for most things is light-weight knit
fusible. For sew-in, I use hair canvas, woven interfacing,
silk organza, or non-woven depending on how much body I
need/want, etc. and match the weight of the interfacing to
the project. I also have a small supply of *very*
light-weight non-woven fusible, but rarely use it. It is
mostly "tape" for repairing/altering patterns.
I buy black and white knit fusibles at TSWLTH on a 50%
coupon, and I buy full bolts or 10 yards, whichever they
have. I always ask them to roll it back onto the board,
that way it's easier to store.

discovered the problem wasn't my printer but the *brand new*
ink cartridges I bought! :-(
