Stabilizer question
I was looking at sew-in stabilizers today and came to a rather cheap conclusion. The part of a bed ruffle that covers the box springs appears to be made of something that looks the same as several stabilizers I looked at. I can get the bed ruffle for a $1 vs from the bolt for a whole lot more. There looks to be 6 yards or more total in the ruffle + the fabric around it as a bonus. Is this feasible or am I way out in left field?

This is great idea. just for strip quilts or like that. It would not be like interfacing. What would you use it for?

If you're planning on making a quilt from the fabric in the ruffle, the fabric in the ruffle is usually very cheap, coarsely woven and generally unsuitable for use in a quilt.

If you are talking about embroidery stabilizers, then yes, it should work. I learned about 'alternate' embroidery stabilizers on a different board, with soil separator (sewer cloth, like a plumbing sewer) being a great alternative. You can get a 150 foot roll for under $20 at lowes.

PaperPrincess, could you provide a link to the product you are using? Is it white or black?

That sounds very interesting. I am going to check it out and see what I can find.

I would think that as long as you could earlier tear it away from the design, there shouldn't be a problem.
