Back thirty years ago there was no fusible webbing. We used glue or when it came out, the fusible interfacing because it helped stabilize the pieces. So use what ever you have for practice. Elmer's school glue or Rozanne's glue baste it to hold down your edges while you stitch. Be sure to put stabilizer behind the piece and tear away after wards. The tighter your stitches, the heavier the stabilizer. I use a very tight satin stitch and use the wall liner paper for the stabilizer.
