I've used fabric glue a couple of times but am not sure if you intend to use the glue before or after stitching .... either way I think Jo's idea would be simpler!<br />Barbara xFlashinScissorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06408946289711452871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1297707426849940037.post-21871284405781072832016-12-16T14:29:58.047-05:002016-12-16T14:29:58.047-05:00The mermaid print is lovely as is the mermaid sign...The mermaid print is lovely as is the mermaid sign.<br />Love the delicate ornie. You could back fabric with a piece of thick card cut to shape and then stick felt/cotton fabric to the card and backstitch all the way round to keep the layers together. If the card was slightly smaller than the fabric and felt you wouldn't have to stitch through it or use any adhesive on the actual stitching Jo who can't think of a clever nicknamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02663450738390351663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1297707426849940037.post-17577062526033350972016-12-14T21:21:28.754-05:002016-12-14T21:21:28.754-05:00Oh I love mermaids too.

The only way I have done personally is to put a sticky felt that makes it more stiff. It's thicker than normal felt since it has sticker type material on one side. I would love a smaller count though. Hope someone listens.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15255369612614393695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1297707426849940037.post-46800611452264100782016-12-14T20:39:41.235-05:002016-12-14T20:39:41.235-05:00Beautiful gifts!

There are a coupe of products for stiffening fabric - Aleene's Fabric Stiffener and Mod Podge Stiffy Fabric Stiffener. I've used Aleene's with good results, never tried the Mod Podge.Beahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07237277979894744930noreply@blogger.com
