I think I bought the wrong stuff
#1
I went to the fabric store on the weekend to buy pellon to make my bow tuck tote. After looking at the tutorial I think I bought the wrong stuff. Is pellon supposed to look like bating? If it is then I got the wrong stuff mine isn't like bating I think it might be interfacing. Can I still use this and put bating on top or should I just go buy the proper pellon for it?

I just called fabricland in the town I live in, what was I thinking if they don't help you as a customer in the store they would surely answer the phone when it rings you would think. Nope it rang and rang and rang. I guess I'll be heading over the boarder Friday to Jo Ann fabrics to get the right pellon. I'm so angry right now with fabric land I think I might email the company and let them know how poor customer service is at this particular store. Sorry had to get that out. :| Guess it's good that I got my Jo Ann Fabric flyer in the mail today lol

I did ask for fusible pellon when I went into Fabricland and not knowing a lot about sewing I thought the lady had given me the proper stuff. Until I looked at the tutorial and noticed that their's was fluffy and mine wasn't.

It isn't just the Fabricland in your town. I think they are all like that. My closest FL is 35 km away, the clerks are extremely rude and they never have the sales stuff that they advertise. They also seem to have less and less fabric and more of the store is being taken over by drapery fabrics, home decor etc. Several FL are also going out of business, one in Guelph gone and the one is Milton closing soon. Fabric stores are in very short supply in my part of Ontario and I'm a long way from the border so the U.S. is not an option for shopping.
