Description
Pellon® 526 Decovil is the structure layer serious bag makers reach for: a one-sided fusible interfacing with a firm, leather-like hand that holds its shape for the life of the project. This 17" x 54" package is sized for a structured handbag, a pair of hat brims, or a set of fabric bowls. It fuses in place — no pinning, no basting — cuts with edges that stay tight, and is tear-resistant yet dimensionally stable and easy to shape. Decovil can be punched, resists bending, and sews cleanly on a home machine with natural or synthetic fabrics.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Pellon 526 Decovil and 525 Decovil Light?
526 is the firmer, heavier of the two, with a leather-like body for structured bags and brims. 525 Decovil Light is softer and more flexible for shapes that still need some give.
How do I fuse Pellon 526 Decovil?
Place the adhesive side against the wrong side of your fabric, cover with a damp press cloth, and press with an iron on the wool setting about 6 seconds per section. Let it cool flat before handling.
Can I sew through Decovil?
Yes. Despite its firm hand it is machine-sewable — use a 90/14 needle, lengthen your stitch slightly, and trim Decovil out of seam allowances to reduce bulk.
