Bosal "In- R- Form" Plus Unique Fusible Foam Stabilizer, White, 36 x 58-Inch

It is brilliant.

I have had this for months and had not got round to using it. Well, to be honest I was nervous of using it as it's not cheap and I didn't want to mess it up. I looked at a few Youtube videos first then took the plunge. It really does make a huge improvement to my bag making. All the claims about making the bags look more professional are true and it's really easy to sew. For me the trickiest part is getting the foam onto the material without any creases but this is easily overcome with practice and you can peel it on and off while still hot from the iron until you get it right. I thought it might be a bulky to sew with but it glides through my machine. Bag making is my hobby and I will be using this for all my "special" bags, it's a bit expensive to use for every day shopping bags (but that's just my opinion).

I have tried many other brands of foam stabilisers and this one beats all the others hands down. It's fusible on both sides, but you can iron it onto just one side if you are careful, just iron it onto your fabric before sewing. I recommend that you use a clean, dry old tea towel on your ironing board to prevent accidental sticking. It goes through the sewing machine like a dream, even more than one layer. Just remember to set your stitch length to 3 when sewing through it. The tote bag I made, due to the elasticated side pockets, I had to sew through three layers of the foam, as well as 3 layers of fabric. The bag is pictured here from different angles. There is nothing inside the bag, keeping the shape or holding it up. That's how good this foam is. This brand doesn't have any nasty, harsh chemical smells like some of them tend to do. I highly recommend this to add shape and stability to your sewing projects. It gives your sewing projects a professional finish.

Excellent product for providing soft stability to a project. Be sure to check if single or double sided fusibility is better for your particular project. Quite an expensive addition to a project but firmer than most alternatives.

Great product - bought ot make book sleeves. Easy to use and the finished items look amazing.

Just the job for sewing projects

I made two silk velvet purses and used the Bosal in ‘R’ form to give stability to s very slippery fabric. It was perfect and made the purses much easier to assemble. Very pleased with the ‘feel’ of the purses with this stabiliser in them.

Good quality product, great for making bags, purses etc. Generally quick delivery considering it came form America twice the width than most others selling the same product, very good value for such a reasonable price. Price varies according to the US $/UK£ exchange rate at the time of purchase, Very happy with price and product.
