I was wondering what fusible fleece you use for this or any bag you make!
I can get the pellon fusible fleece:100% Polyester. Iron in full lofty body to fabric. Use for appliques, machine quilted and padded craft projects, or a Bosal fusible fleece:100% Polyester. For quilting and crafts. Fuses in place where a slightly padded look is needed. Use in creating quilts, soft sculptures and garments. Dry clean or machine wash on warm setting. tumble dry on low. Use a warm iron if needed.
I am leaning to the Bosal as the pellon says it is a full lofty fleece..not sure I want a puffy bag!

Which would you suggest if these were your ONLY choices?

Bosal Fusible Polyester Fleece 22in x 1yd

Pellon Fusible Fleece 45in x 60in

I haven't seen the Bosal before, but the Pellon is about the thickness of Warm & Natural batting if that helps. Maybe even a little thinner.

The pellon is about 1/8 inch thick but has a tight "weave" IMHO. I don't think it's puffy at all, but that is also subjective.

I haven't heard of the Bosal before, where did you find it?

BUT I really like the Pellon. It isn't puffy, but it does help with the shape. There is a stiffer pellon that you can find at Walmart, but i can't remember the number. It is denser than the 987.

I haven't heard of the bosal. I have used the Pellon and like the results. The fusible Pellon IMHO is perfect for totes. Just curious where did you find the Bosal?

I can get the Bosal at www.checkerdist.com. They make like the fusible grid stuff and many other fusibles.

The denser one at WM used to be Thermoplus. I just LOVE that stuff for tablerunners/placemats because it lies so smooth!

I just made my first Bow Tucks purse and used the Pellon. I was happy with the way it worked out and don't think it is too puffy.

I use the pellon. It isn't puffy at all, just gives the fabric some body and substance.

I use the Pellon 987 Fusible fleece, but I just got a new one in from www.byannie.com to try. It has a totally different feel, but I haven't used it yet--I will this weekend.
