    Default Can I use stabilizer in place of fusible interfacing?

    I am making a play mat that goes with a stuffed princess doll set. It calls for fusible interfacing. I have some pellin 809 decor bond backing. Can I use that in place of the fusible interfacing? The play mat folds up with ties to close it.

    As I remember Deco Bond is really stiff so I'm not sure how suitable that would be. I used some in a purse and wasn't that thrilled with the result. Does the mat have any batting in it?

    I used that same product this afternoon for some straps. I like how it can be folded and creased. The description says it has extra crispness.

    Is this play mat a machine embroidery design?

    PS to add: Try a sample with the pieces and see if you like how they work together.

    Yes the mat will have batting.

    No embroidery. It is quilting cotton.
