I just checked my receipt (I purchased 10 yards) from JoAnns. It is Pellon 926 Extra-Firm Stabilizer (not fusible) regular price 4.29 per yard I picked it up for 2.14. Great deal. It is 20 inches wide --same as bag units --
I will also use it in the lining.
I quilted the plaid fabric with Hobbs 80/20 first.
Just finished yard work and hubby is taking me for breakfast. All showered and ready to I go. Then back to sewing room
Happy quilting all
