They all had to be stabilized with a woven interfacing before I even started putting the blocks together. I cut out the parts I wanted first a bit larger than needed, laid all the pieces face up on a stabilizer, adhesive side up then press according to instructions. Just make sure the stretch runs in opposite direction. After it cooled I cut the blocks out to size. Surprisingly, any kind of fabric worked well once they were stabilized. They sew just like a heavier cotton. If you are still hesitant when you sew them, pin like crazy.
