I was wondering what fusible fleece you use for this or any bag you make!
I can get the pellon fusible fleece:100% Polyester. Iron in full lofty body to fabric. Use for appliques, machine quilted and padded craft projects, or a Bosal fusible fleece:100% Polyester. For quilting and crafts. Fuses in place where a slightly padded look is needed. Use in creating quilts, soft sculptures and garments. Dry clean or machine wash on warm setting. tumble dry on low. Use a warm iron if needed.
I am leaning to the Bosal as the pellon says it is a full lofty fleece..not sure I want a puffy bag!
Which would you suggest if these were your ONLY choices?

The pellon is about 1/8 inch thick but has a tight "weave" IMHO. I don't think it's puffy at all, but that is also subjective.
I haven't heard of the Bosal before, where did you find it?
BUT I really like the Pellon. It isn't puffy, but it does help with the shape. There is a stiffer pellon that you can find at Walmart, but i can't remember the number. It is denser than the 987.

The denser one at WM used to be Thermoplus. I just LOVE that stuff for tablerunners/placemats because it lies so smooth!
