How to Use Bobbin Girl's Value Fusible Fleece in Bags
Perfect for bag making, Bobbin Girl’s Value Fusible Fleece is irresistibly soft, bouncy, and incredibly easy to work with. It adds a plush, squidgy feel that’s ideal for slouchy handbags, tote bags, pouches, and wristlets.
It’s also a great alternative to Vlieseline H630, offering a very similar feel and performance at a more affordable price. If you love the results of H630 but want a more budget-friendly option, this fleece fits the bill beautifully.
What fusible fleece adds to a bag
Soft structure without stiffness
Fusible fleece gives shape and body without making a bag rigid. It allows the fabric to move naturally, which is perfect for relaxed, everyday styles where you want softness rather than sharp structure.
A cushioned, comfortable feel
One of the nicest things about fusible fleece is how it feels in use. Bags made with fleece interfacing have a gentle padding that makes them comfortable to hold and wear, especially for shoulder bags and wristlets.
Extra padding for protective projects
Ideal for device cases
For projects that need added protection — such as iPad sleeves or laptop cases — simply layering two pieces of fusible fleece makes a noticeable difference.
This extra padding helps cushion devices, adding peace of mind without making the project overly bulky or difficult to sew.
How to apply Bobbin Girl’s Value Fusible Fleece
Quick and hassle-free to use
Fusible fleece is a popular choice because it’s so straightforward to apply. Cut the fleece to size, place it on the wrong side of your fabric with the glue side down — you’ll notice the tiny glue bobbles on the surface — then cover it with a damp cloth.
Using an steam iron, press the fleece in place to create a strong, even bond. With the right heat and a little patience, you’ll achieve a smooth finish that stays put throughout construction.
When fusible fleece is the right choice
Fusible fleece really comes into its own when you want softness, comfort, and a relaxed finish. It’s particularly well suited to slouchy bags, casual totes, and smaller accessories where a plush feel enhances the overall design.
