Date: 12/26/12 10:55 PM I'm making some bags, and got mid-heavy weight twill for outside and also for inside.
Do I still need interfacing?
I'm used to using quilting cotton for inside and fuse interfacing, but thought maybe twill is stiff enough not to use it. |

If you are putting pockets on the inside, I think you may want to interface the lining material with a light or med weight interfacing or your pockets will tear when loaded up with stuff. So, in other words, do what you want. There are no rules really for this. |

Date: 12/27/12 8:06 PM If I were making the bags, I would use interfacing because I like my bags to have structure and support. But only you can decide how you want your bags to look. ------
