    What is the best stabilizer for string blocks? I want something I can leave in. No paper or wash away.
    TY!

    I use inexpensive muslin (washed and dried) or nonfusible pellon. Hope this helps.

    If you gave a solid lightweight fabric in your stash that is too thin for quilting, it will be just right for foundation. I like white cotton broadcloth, it is inexpensive and readily available.

    No show mesh stabilizer. It is made by the ladies who wrote the book String Quilt Revival.

    Thin, cheap muslin works well.
