I am having a brain freeze tonight. I am making up a shopping list to head to Niagara Falls NY next week, and I want to go to a Quilt Store or JoAnns.

I purchased a laser cut applique of a horse, and I will be applying it to a large piece of background. The lady in the store suggested I use ??? something to put behind it as I am going to zig zag stitch the large applique onto the background. For the life of me, I can't remember the name of the backing behind the background for this? is it called Stabilizer? and can I purchase it in JoAnns?

I am going over Black Friday and Sat and Sunday for a hockey tournament with DS and my mom. Will any Quilt stores be open? Is this something I can find in JoAnns? and is it worth going over and shopping on Sat which is the only day besides Sunday morning when I will have time to shop?
thanks for any suggestions and help
