Using two layers of fabric might work, but I’m not sure how hard that would be to work with since it would mean I would be sewing four layers of fabric together.
I use Pellon Shape-Flex, it's fusible and woven and gives a lot of support without adding bulk. Pellon als makes a fusible fleece and I've also used the decor bond as someone else mentioned. I usually get mine at JoAnn's with a coupon.
