View full detailsByAnnie Soft and Stable — The Signature Product
Soft and Stable is the product that built ByAnnie's reputation — a stabilizer and batting hybrid that gives bags, totes, and accessories structured body without stiffness. Unlike traditional batting or fusible interfacing, Soft and Stable holds its shape through use, doesn't fold or crease between the layers, and gives finished bags that clean, professional look you see in designer work.
It's equally at home in quilted bags, structured totes, cosmetic cases, and zippered pouches. A quilted outer with Soft and Stable inside stands on its own, holds its shape on a shelf, and feels substantial without being heavy. It's also used as a stabilizer for machine embroidery on bags and home décor projects where you want the finished piece to hold its form.
| Material | Polyester fiber fill with stabilizing structure |
| Sizes available | 18in x 58in (by the yard) and precut packages |
| Care | Machine washable — retains structure through washing |
| Best for | Structured bags, totes, cosmetic cases, machine embroidery on bags |
| Used by | Deb Canham in bag making and serging classes at Flash Sew & Quilt |
Soft and Stable tip: Cut it 1/2" larger than your bag pieces before quilting, then trim to size after. It compresses slightly when quilted, and the extra margin gives you clean, accurate edges to work with. Deb covers this in her bag making classes — see upcoming class dates at our Sarasota and Naples locations.
Learn Bag Making with Deb Canham
Deb Canham is internationally recognized for her bag making and serging techniques — her classes sell out consistently, and for good reason. She teaches right here at Flash Sew & Quilt, and ByAnnie Soft and Stable is a core part of her method. If you want to understand exactly how to use these products in a finished bag, there's no better teacher in Florida.
Deb's classes cover structured bag construction, serger techniques for professional edge finishing, and how to combine ByAnnie stabilizers, elastic, and hardware into a bag that looks and holds like a designer piece.

Shop Patterns →ByAnnie Fold-Over Elastic — Why It's Different
Standard fold-over elastic finishes one edge at a time. ByAnnie's fold-over elastic is designed to fold precisely at the center crease, wrapping both sides of an edge simultaneously for a clean, professional finish in a single pass through the machine. It stretches with your fabric, making it the ideal edge finish for mesh bag pockets, stretch fabric linings, and anywhere a rigid binding would look stiff or bulky.
Available in a wide range of colors that coordinate with the rest of the ByAnnie supply line — so your elastic, webbing, and zippers can match or intentionally contrast in a finished bag. Pairs directly with the Lightweight Mesh Fabric for an easy, complete pocket finish.
How the ByAnnie Line Works Together
What sets ByAnnie apart from buying bag supplies piecemeal is that the line is designed as a system. The Soft and Stable gives your outer its structure. The mesh and elastic handle your interior pockets. The webbing and hardware finish the straps and closures. The zippers coordinate in color with the hardware. You're not hunting for pieces that work together — they already do.
