    HMO that cushion is beautiful :)

    I'm experimenting with bags at the moment and I wondered if anyone can recommend a good interfacing please that will at least stay stuck whilst I'm sewing the darn things together. The stuff I have is useless and just comes away :) x

    thank you, vilene or heat n bond are both good makes. I've used both, heat n bond is sticky on both sides so more for appliqu! I've also bought unbranded from local haberdashery store and thats been fine too. you need a hot iron and no steam.

    you could always use the stuff you have got but add a spray adhesive to see if that helps
