One of the really valuable things to do when sewing bags is to become familiar with different interfacing and stabilizers, so you can make your own informed personal choices about which would work best when sewing a bag. I love to use fusible woven interfacing on almost all of my projects, well probably all of my projects, so here I am comparing different brands of fusible woven interfacing to see how they differ.

What is a woven fusible interfacing?
A woven interfacing is like a second piece of fabric used to change the characteristics of the first piece of fabric you are working with. It is woven with threads at right angles to each other, just like lightweight quilting cotton. It may look similar to a lightweight cotton bedsheet, or a semi-sheer lightweight cotton dress fabric.
The woven fusible interfacing moves and drapes in the same way as your fabric. There is a heat activated glue on the reverse to allow the interfacing fabric to be 'fused' or glued to the wrong side of your working fabric. It's quick and easy to fuse, more so usually than non-woven interfacing, and gives less wrinkles and dimples.
