Interfacing For Handbags
#1
Has anybody used Peltex for interfacing handbags, and if so, can you then quilt over it? I have used the Pellon 987 fusible, but never the Peltex. I think it is something like Timtex, which I have never used. I am just thinking of trying a different interfacing, and wondered about these products.

I've used the peltex. Sometimes I dont want a bag to "drape" and need a sturdier shape and the peltex gives me that. I've had no problem quilting through it. Also I have backed the fabric with 987 and then backed the 987 with the peltex. This gives the bag a softer feel on the outside and the firm foundation I like, best of both worlds for me.

I do the same.
