Non-Woven Structure for Home Dec and Accessories
Pellon 809 Décor-Bond is a non-woven, sew-in stabilizer that occupies a specific structural position in the Pellon catalog: heavier and firmer than lightweight interfacing, less padded than fleece or foam stabilizers, and specifically designed to add the dimensional rigidity needed for home dec projects, structured bags, and fabric accessories that need to hold their shape without an interior frame or rigid insert. The sew-in format attaches through seam allowances rather than fusing with heat, making it appropriate for any fabric that cannot or should not be ironed.
Décor-Bond Versus Other Pellon Stabilizers
Understanding where 809 fits: SF101 Shape-Flex is a lightweight woven fusible for soft body in garment fabrics. 987F Fusible Fleece adds padded loft for bag and accessory softness. FF78F1 Flex-Foam adds foam structure for self-supporting bags. 809 Décor-Bond adds firm, flat body without padding -- the stabilizer for home dec applications where fabric needs to behave like a stiff, structured material rather than a soft, padded one. Window treatments, structured tote bags, decorative pillows requiring body without softness, and any application where the fabric should feel substantial and firm rather than cushioned.
