mondo bag stiffner?
I`m about to make one. I know a little behind the times!lol
Was wondering although it doesn`t call for it, if anyone use a light weight stiffner?
Thanks Gale

I'm not familiar with the mondo bag, but I have made several bags and I really like to use headliner in them. Headliner fabric is what auto manufacturers use on the inside of the roof of a car. It gives the fabric some stiffness and stand-up-ability (yes I did just make that word up ) while staying soft and foldable at the same time. It's easy to sew and quilt through.
You can get headliner fabric at Hancock's, Joann's, and I'm sure other places as well.

Just found a video showing the squares being placed then pressed onto a fusible interfacing. Can't find a follow up showing how they would be machined. Never made the bag it looks exciting if I can find the next video.

Didn't realize the pattern calls for fusible batting that will be enough
the videos and instructions are not very helpful
does the fusible go on the linning?
I'm going to start then rake it to a retreat first weekend in June as I know i'll need help
thanks all Gale
