    Default Has anyone used Annies soft and stable for

    bags and or purses? It sounds wonderful, I am wondering how long it looks nice in a bag that is being used and how easy it is to use. The information I read and the video I saw makes it look like really good stuff. I would have to order it at Joann's or her shop so need some input on it.

    I used it for a purse and loved it. The purse stood up and no flopping. Plan to use it for all future bags and purses.

    I used it in a bag I made just over a year ago. It is still looking great. It gives the bag a lot more structure than batting, and looks really professional. If you have to order it, Connecting Threads carries it at a good price. I ordered 3 more packages a few months ago when I had seen how well it was holding up!

    Missouri Star Quilt company had a daily special a few weeks ago for Bosal In-R Form Plus. I bought a package to see exactly what it was. It's fusible on both sides with foam in the middle, easy to sew through. Excellent product. Made is USA too.

    I love it. I didn't want a fusible one. Pellon has a foam similar, but the Soft & Stable is actually a tad thinner, which I prefer in the seam allowances. It's very easy to work with. I usually use 3/8" to 1/2" seams and prefer to zigzag the edges to help reduce the bulk. I've been buying it on ebay. Bicwarehouse usually has good prices and free shipping.

    I love Soft and Stable. I have used it in the over 60 tote bags that I have made for family and friends. Quilting the bags with Soft and Stable is fun. For the handles, I use an iron-on interfacing though.
