This light weight foam type of backing is very innovative with its type of use.  The foam comes in one millimeter of thickness and is applied with a self-stick process.  Once applied to the wrong side of the fabric, the exterior materials has an added firmness while still being flexible to the touch.  This stabilizer can be used on heavier canvas type fabrics, all purpose decorative fabrics, cork and leather.   Best if used with a drop in lining process.   The self stick process eliminates the need for hot irons, or glue.   This is a one of a kind and gives a body to the exterior of bags in a very different way, while still giving the quality of the bags soft and flexible feel.

This suede backing is a favorite in the high-end bag making industry.  The suede backing has a thicker and very flexible hand.  Perfect for stabilizing the exterior fabric, cork or leather of a bag without the ridged stiff feel found in other stabilizers.  And it's now available at an affordable price for everyone.  The suede backing has a suede feel and flexibility with a self-stick backing eliminating the need for an iron or glue.  Application is easy by peeling the top edge of the backing, applying the top edge to the top edge surface of the wrong side of your fabric, then pressing down evenly across the backing as you slowly peel off the paper from the muslin stabilizer.   Follow up with the use of a brayer (or pastry rolling pin) by rolling back and forth over the backing onto the fabric.  Placement of backing can be adjusted by just pulling off and reapplying.   

Soft flexible backing gives exterior or lining fabric (cork or leather) more body and thickness without stiffness.  Can be used as an exterior backing stabilizer, an edge to fold down exterior top seam allowance onto its wrong side, can be edge painted, and can be used as a zipper stay.  The extent of your imagination is the only limitation in using this product.  It is a product that every workroom must have.
