    Working with a lightweight woven fabric that moves/unstable and looking for help on techniques/products to help stabilize. I have tried pellon lightweight iron-on product on a sample but it doesn't stay adhered with movement. Any help is appreciated!

    would a glue bleed through the fabric?

    I have been backing materials like that with muslin or a cotton duct. I have switched to 3m super 77 spray as they reformulated the mixture. I hate it but it works well for backing as you can lay the pattern out square and adjust it without causing large pulls. It stays tackey for a while. When it's all together a steamer will break the adhesion of the glue and let you make adjustments if needed. I only apply the glue to the backing.

    Why not use fuseable interfacing. They come in different thicknesses and some have glue dots that melt when ironed onto the fabric. You gotta use that kind.
