Template Plastic (Stencilling Plastic)
Interfacing -
| Medium-Light weight, woven cotton interfacing Use this to add body to your fabric without making it too stiff. A great "all-rounder" interfacing - it is also a great base to use with Fusible Wadding or Fast2Fuse (a layer of this between the fabric and heavier interfacing will smooth the surface of the fabric and add more structure). $8.50 per metre (110cm wide) See Tips and Tutorials
for information on using interfacing for bags. |

Medium-Heavy weight, woven cotton interfacing This high-quality cotton interfacing will add more structure and smoothness to your bag. It's firm, but not "cardboardy" like a non-woven interfacing. It also works wonderfully under fusible wadding to create structure in patchwork-weight cotton fabrics. NOTE: This interfacing requires a high heat setting and firm pressure to fuse it to fabric, so is excellent on cotton fabrics, but isn't recommended for synthetics or delicate fabrics. $10.25 per metre (110cm wide) See Tips and Tutorials for information on using interfacing for bags. |
