Can you use dryer sheets for interfacing fabric in sewing?

Interfacing is not expensive to buy and why would you want to substitute dryer sheets? An old dryer sheet might leave a grease stain on your fabric.
I've heard you can use coffee filters.
Coffee filters are used when you sew lightweight or unstable fabrics. When you're done sewing you tear it away. If used as interfacing it will just wash away.
The grease from the dryer sheet will gunk up the sewing machine. Not a happy thing to deal with.
You can get interfacing that is sew in stuff, rather than iron on and cut into size you need. I have the heavy stuff and cut some into inch size strips to have handy for things.
Used dryer sheets, of course. Why not? The softening agent isn't grease. If it were, you'd have all kinds of spots on your clean dry cloths. It disperses in the dryer as you dry your wash load so the used sheet should be perfectly fine to use as facing.
