Robin Atkins sells it on her website. I think it's like a backing to use against the fabric you're beading on.Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02795574058800756334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8086998189485989004.post-35232829310450527732009-12-29T15:15:04.122-08:002009-12-29T15:15:04.122-08:00what is interleaving paper?what is interleaving paper?The Beaded Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10255288140900141956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8086998189485989004.post-37734439482300905402009-12-29T14:57:14.107-08:002009-12-29T14:57:14.107-08:00I like to use interleaving paper for embroidery pi...I like to use interleaving paper for embroidery pieces that are not jewelry, because the paper gives a good foundation, but is nice and flexible and strong. Felt seems to work well, though I haven't tried it. I bead on Lacey's Stiff Stuff when I want a solid, less flexible foundation, mainly for bead embroidery intended for jewelry. It is really easy to pass a needle through, yet keeps its solid feeling. I use ultra suede or ultra leather for backing, and I often sandwich a piece of plastic or thick cardboard to add more solidity if the piece needs it. However, for Bead Journal pieces, I haven't used any backing.Lois2037https://www.blogger.com/profile/04776736493772592187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8086998189485989004.post-83173361929845465572009-12-29T13:07:00.192-08:002009-12-29T13:07:00.192-08:00It's a personal decision, obviously.

But if you plan to frame your works or mount them, that wouldn't matter. So it is up to you.Deborah C. Stearnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10293517108313679115noreply@blogger.com
