Frequently Asked Questions

What is Soft and Stable used for in bag making?

Soft and Stable is the foam stabilizer that gives structured bags their self-supporting shape. It is sandwiched between the bag exterior and lining, providing a firm but lightweight structure that allows bags to stand upright on their own and maintain their form when empty.

How is Soft and Stable different from Fusible Fleece (Pellon 987F)?

Fusible Fleece adds padding and some body through heat fusing. Soft and Stable is a firmer, thicker foam that provides significantly more structure — the difference between a soft, squishy bag and one that stands firmly upright. Soft and Stable creates bags that look and function like purchased structured handbags.

Does Soft and Stable require any adhesive to attach to fabric?

Soft and Stable is typically basted or stitched to the bag panel rather than fused. It can be temporarily adhered with spray adhesive, then secured with stitching around the perimeter when assembling the bag.

Can Soft and Stable be machine washed?

Soft and Stable is washable on a gentle cycle in cool water. It maintains its form after washing better than many other foam stabilizers. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat.

How many bag panels can I cut from a 72" x 58" sheet?

A standard tote bag requires panels approximately 15" x 16" each. From a 72" x 58" sheet, you can cut approximately 12–16 panels, depending on the specific bag pattern and panel sizes.
