| Here are a few that I'm aware of: Pellon makes a product called Peltex that comes in various weights and varieties: sew-in, fusible on one side, fusible on both sides. Fast2Fuse and Stiff Stuff are additional stabilizers used in fabric bowls. See Quilting Warehouse (link at bottom of post) for a source for Timtex, Peltex, Fast2Fuse and Stiff Stuff products. I've also heard that some sewists use Floriani Stitch N Shape. http://www.rnkdistributing.com/stitchnshape.shtml HTH, |

| I have used steam-a-seam doing bowls and it works very well. Bonnie |
