Notes from Annie:

I am often complimented on the professional appearance of my bags and purses.  Though I'd love to say that they look good because I'm such an excellent seamstress, I really can't take all the credit.  Using the proper tools and supplies makes all the difference between a project that looks store-bought and professional versus one that looks homemade. 

ByAnnie's Soft and Stable™ is by far the most important element used in any of my purses, bags, or other projects.  Using ByAnnie's Soft and Stable™ in place of batting or other fusible interfacings gives my project a firm foundation.  The bag isn't slouchy or wrinkly.  Yet, because ByAnnie's Soft and Stable™ is so lightweight, the purse (when it's empty anyway!) weighs hardly anything.

I love using ByAnnie's Soft and Stable™ in handles, too— that soft, cushiony feeling is so nice for shoulder straps or handles.

The other advantage to using ByAnnie's Soft and Stable™ is that I do not have to quilt the fabric to the batting/foundation unless I want to.  I often choose to quilt the fabric to add a decorative element to the finished piece, but it is not an absolute necessity
