    I use plastic canvas and stitch it to the bottom. It washes just fine.

    It depends on the bag. On simple totes I use plexi glass bought by the sheet that I cut to size. Smaller purses I just use a heavy stabilizer thats like cardboard, its fusible and holds it shape very well. I have been know to use the fabric boards that fabric comes on at our wal-mart, they only sell precuts and that fabric is really stiff.
