apparel and to many fabric furnishings.
Preparing the Fabric
Baste a light padding of cotton flannel, synthetic quilt
batting, sheet wadding, or a lightweight wool interlin­
ing to the underside of the fabric. When using sheet
wadding, first back it with voile, batiste, or net to pre­
serve the sheet wadding through wear. Baste the lay­
ers of fabric and padding together on the lengthwise
and crosswise grains.
