Substantial Support In Cloth
Hi!
I want to make tote bags that has Strength in them. How do you make the sides and bottoms of them stronger? I heard once about something that was " fusible "... That's the only word I remember? fusible what??? Susan |
fusible interface- like the stuff in a collar
|
There are some very stiff interfacings that are fusible. Some people also use something in the bottom of the bag like template plastic, plastic canvas or cardboard.
|
Nancy's notions has what they call Peltex interfacing.
|
There was a tote tutorial on here today that showed how to use batting and lining. It looked very sturdy.
|
Thnk You All so much... Interfacing! That's the word I'm looking for.

I found with my purse the handles wore out soonest so that is where I would concentrate o the next one I make. I use fusabale pellpon on my purses. It is like a thin batting.
|
Peltex is good for bottoms, also soft ans stable gives good body
|
I use Fusible Pellon Fleece ( from Joann's) For all my purses, bags and totes. Use a dry iron, no steam!
