What is the difference between tricot covered foam and naked flexible foam? Since the foam is encased within fabric is the tricot necessary? Is one firmer than the other?
Hi these are both more used in upholstery than bag making. In fact I haven’t used either much (unless the regular sew in foam is the tricot covered one!) but I imagine that the wear and push of bag making isn’t very conducive to using these types of stabilisers. That’s why using a sew in foam which has fabric either side is better. Not sure if I’ve helped much! I would def recommend if you have either of these to have a play and see how they hold up to bag making! Thanks for watching and the great comment.
@@tracygill8900 apologies I was reading and answering on the go 🤦♀️. I haven’t tried naked foam and would imagine like I say that it could tear from the fabric during birthing but if it’s a great deal, no harm in trying it.

I just don’t understand how you sew so accurately and close to the edge. Today is my first day
Many years of practice. Don’t be afraid to just go for it! And go slow and steady. I don’t always get it right 🫢

The sew in foam you are using is tricot covered. I was asking about naked foam. Probably best in upholstery but sooo much cheaper
