It's a similar weight to Vilene that is placed behind embroidery to stabalize the base fabric, but make sure that it's the correct weight that tears away easily.Colettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11803987910368624424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7838580627585927365.post-35175809112281019162017-01-02T06:05:13.612+11:002017-01-02T06:05:13.612+11:00US equivalent?

From the photos on the internet it looks very similar, do a test on a sample and see if it works, in particular check that the paper tears away easily without putting a strain on the fabric.Colettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11803987910368624424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7838580627585927365.post-36998956910906939632012-03-28T19:49:33.480+11:002012-03-28T19:49:33.480+11:00For a wider neckline on a knit (say a boat neck) s...For a wider neckline on a knit (say a boat neck) stay stitching is great. As long the opening is wide enough and doesn't get stretched when pulling over the head, stay stitching will snap. There is a rubbery jelly tape ideal for necklines ans shoulder lines...look out for a tutorial on that next month!Colettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11803987910368624424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7838580627585927365.post-18418340045852081792012-03-28T16:48:06.911+11:002012-03-28T16:48:06.911+11:00It is also very useful when you want to sew in a z...It is also very useful when you want to sew in a zip into a stretchy fabric! :)Lena Merrinhttp://www.thesewingspace.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7838580627585927365.post-64099617090836869322012-03-28T14:14:47.611+11:002012-03-28T14:14:47.611+11:00Do you think I could use Swedish tracing paper in ...Do you think I could use Swedish tracing paper in place of Vilene (as I have this handy) ?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01378118923141841775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7838580627585927365.post-2242509564740006782012-03-28T14:14:28.113+11:002012-03-28T14:14:28.113+11:00Thanks for the great advice.
