I've used "Soft and Stable" on a different bag and it was nice for that bag. I don't think I would use it for Marilyn's bag. Soft and Stable is an interesting, spongy material that I think is nice if you are quilting your bag. It provides a bit more stability than batting. When I made the same bag as Marilyn I didn't quilt it. It just has so many pockets and zippers and details that it seemed like quilting would get in the way. But I could be way off with that opinion and also with the opinion that I wouldn't use Soft and Stable in an unquilted bag.

For those interested, Soft and Stable is a Superior Threads product available on their Web site. It's probably also available at quilt shops that carry their products.

Nearly every piece is stabilized. Some folks use a product called "Soft and Stable" on the body pieces instead....I haven't tried it yet.
