I used felt and it worked great another board member had posted that that is what she had done, wish I could remember who posted so I could give her credit

Tim Tex will hold its shape wonderfully well. I love fast2fuse for small things like key fobs, but I think it might be little too flexible for boxes--unless there is a weight I haven't tried. Good luck with the boxes! Froggyintexas

For any of you who have made the fabric boxes, what do you consider to be the best batting (or interfacing) for them? I know they need something that helps keep the shape, but am not sure what is best. I saw where someone had used a batting they were not satisfied with, and suggested something else, but I can't remember what it was.

it's the pellon econo fleece I think has been used from Walmart and you have to order it online.

I used thin cotton batting as the stiffer interfacings cost $26 a metre and therefore 'outprice' the box. I echo quilted concentric squares a quarter of an inch apart and used French seams on the corners. Those French seams give firmness and stability. My boxes look crisp and I'm happy with the result. Many thanks for the idea - I was running out of 'new' ideas for Christmas.

Doesn't felt deteriorate with washing?

I have used felt fabric which was left over from another project and it worked out fine.
I had half inch lines for the quilting which was just enough to keep the box firm |
Inn-spire plus is also a good choice for a stiff interfacing.

I used warm & natural as well. Worked great!
