what is the American equivalent?
I'm hoping someone of our Australian correspondents can help
me with a material I've seen specified in some directions, but can't identify. The directions to make your own pleater board call for "Vilene Fusible Badge Backing 1050HF", and googling this only results in a pointer to hte same site with the directions. http://www.ggcreations.com.au/althea...its/pleat.html As I'm about to assemble (with help) about 200 pleat front cummerbunds, this looks like just the tool to help, if we can get an adequate substitute for whatever his is. My best guess is a really heavy interfacing, perhaps craft bond, but if anyone knows for sure I'd be grateful. Thanks $.01 |

Drop the Vilene in your search and you should get the answers your looking
for. Vilene is a brand name. -- Ron Anderson A1 Sewing Machine PO Box 60 Sand Lake, NY 12153 518-674-8491 http://www.a1sewingmachine.com "Penny Lemire" wrote in message ...

Hi Penny,
What you are looking for is a fusible that is extremely crisp, thin (not heavy interfacing) and webby. Badge backing is used in sewing factories to back thinner cotton for machine embroidery, especially satin stitch used over large areas. Try a drapery supplier as they might have something very close to the desired effect, and in large enough pieces to make a pleater form. Also see if Nancy's Notions or some industrial supplier has a pleating form already made up. --Irene Penny Lemire wrote in message ...

Try contacting Fran at www.fartycrafts.com.au
she did have a mail order business and should have a better idea than me of what to use. As Kate said Vilene is a brand name, but Pellon seems to be as well ( I'm looking at a full page add for them both). Googling Freudenberg should bring up the manufacturers site.

I can buy an existing form, but I'll have to seriously alter the pleat design, and the thing costs $66, which seems like a lot to me, especially if I can mak several for a fraction of the cost. Thanks for the input all! $.01 |

Fusible badge backing sounds like it could be one of two things: fusible
web (to make the badges iron-on) or double-sided iron-on interfacing which I have only seen once before, years ago. That would give the 'badge' stability plus fusibility. It is some kind of fusible interfacing or webbing. (Perhaps not even double-sided.) Now for my question: What is a pleater board? Cynthia Not Aussie or American - just a plain Canadian!

I do believe I recall seing instructions for making a DIY pleater in
an older issue of Threads magazine. Also, Clotilde sells two different sizes of pleaters. They work great, too. I've actually used mine to make cumberbunds, years ago. Karen Maslowski in Cincinnati |
