    When using knits what kind of stabilizer do you use? How expensive is it?

    Fusible nylon tricot is a good stabilizer for knits -- keeps them soft and does not make them too stiff. Places like JoAnn's sell it in small packages, but I found it to be a lot cheaper to order from an online drapery source. Here is the one I used:

    Do a search there on "fusible nylon tricot".

    Nylon Tricot or the soft cotten one can be bought by the yard at Joann's with you 40% of coupon.
