FABRIC  STIFFENERS  AND  STABILIZERS

High quality stiffeners and stabilizers are must-haves to 3D finishers of today's world. The most suitable, and my recommendation, would be skirtex as it provides great form with easy maintenance. I am currently experimenting on other brands and will list them here once the finishing technique is perfected. Sold by choice of cuts.


Skirtex

Product Code: FS001

Price: $1.75

Cut Size: 8" x 10"  


Product Code: FS002

Price: $5.00

Cut Size: 8" x 36"


Description: Best-known as upholstery stiffener, skirtex made its way to 3D needlework smalls few years ago. It is a wonderful stabilizer, is  manageable, creases can be pressed or ironed and it will come back to its initial state. My recommendation on 3D smalls finishing!

Pellon Peltex Double Sided Fusible Interfacing

Product Code: FS003

Price: $2.00

Cut Size: 10" x 12"  


Description: Ultra firm, smooth and resilient stabilizer for sewing accessories such as purses, wallets, etc., 100% polyester. Easy to cut, will not flatten out or distort in steam pressing, and has no grain. It can be cut in any direction, can be machine washed and dried or dry cleaned. Its unique vinyl carrier helps prevent fusing mistakes and makes it easy to use. Perfect for adding the loft and firmness needed to turn fabrics into sculpted "smalls" and boxes.
