Any chance you happen to know the name or number of the heavier FF? Would love to be able to have more "body" to my bags[/quote]

I buy the heavy fleece at Wal-Mart. $3.97 a yard. On the end of the bolt it say Pellon Heavy Fusible Fleece. You can tell the difference between that and the FF the pattern calls for. I think the # on the pattern is 987.
