Hey all, my cousin has asked me to make a tuffet for her using her late husband's ties. The tuffet is foundation pieced onto a muslin foundation that has a lightweight interfacing ironed to it.

I have taken the neck ties apart and of course, the fabric is cut on the bias. Some of the ties are silk and are very wiggly so I believe I will need to stabilize them by fusing a lightweight interfacing to them before I can even cut them to the appropriate size. However, some of the ties are made of heavier fabric and are pretty easily handled even though they are cut on the bias.

So my question is this. Since I am foundation piecing them is it necessary to fuse interfacing to all the ties, or do I only need to do it to the ones that are most obviously slippery and stretchy?????

Thanks in advance for your expertise.
