I am really new at this. I grateful everyone is so nice. I want to make a pocket for a bag, I am wondering what would happen if I used pelon to embroidery on. Does that work well for that?

As you had many to answer your question, I'll just add
a big welcome to you. Here's a flower for you bouquet.

I have never embroidered on pellon but have used it to iron on fabric to give the fabric body. I would iron it on fabric & embroider the fabric & use it for a pocket with the pellon on backside of pkt. *4U

Welcome to you. Thank you for the question I am not sure to have well undertood what is pelon, should it be the french word "doublure", and if it is writgh, in what matter is it?

Claude, pellon is almost the same as wadding, that you put between the top and back of a quilt before it gets quilted.But it is thinner, and sometimes it has glue on the back so that, when you iron it, it will stick to the fabric.It is good to use for table runners, table cloths, wall quilts and bags, and anything that does not need to thick. It can be quilted. Hope you can understand this. Ricky.

Did not no what pellon was until I read the answers. So, thank you for asking the question, I learned something new today. This sit really gives one a permanent education.

americangirl, you've got your answers, so I'll just say a big welcome to *Cute*. Hope you love being here as much as we do. Love, hugs and flowers for you sweetie.

Iron the pellon on to the fabric, then embroider. It is also a good idea to use pellon on the onside pocket to stop it from sagging.Line your pocket after you embroidered it and before you sew it on to the bag. If you need more instructions I can send them to you. My email is in my profile.There is glue only on one side of the iron pellon (You can use non iron pellon as well) so the pocket will not stick shut.This bag has a pocket at the front.Ricky.

You can attach pelon to a fabric and then embroider on that, but I'm not sure why you want to. If you are making a pocket to go onto a bag, you wouldn't want the pelon underneath, because it would iron the pocket shut, unless that's what you are going for? Give me some more details, and I will try and help you.;)

I purchase pellon that irons on both sides and sticks. check your instruction sheet before you buy.

I only use pelon as a stabilizer and it is normally the iron pelon

Wish could help you but don't know what is pelon.*

Are you wanting to use it in place of stabalizer?

Thank You! I had no idea it needed to be prewashed.

by mpo14011 04 Aug 2008

If you are talking about prewashing pellon- DON'T.

What is pelon? I am not familiar with it.

Pelon is a thin loose woven fabric used for pockets etc. Also used as a stiffener in ruffles and puff sleeves.

Sorry I ment tight woven stiff fabric.

Pellon is a type of wadding used for wall quilts, bags, table runners etc. It does come in different thicknesses and you can have it iron on or non iron on. It is thinner then the normal wadding that you would use in quilts, therefore making it more useful for smaller items.
