   Fast 2 fuse heavyweight interfacing might work, it is used for purses.  Timetex interfacing is also used for purses but may be too stiff for a belt.  Hope this helps!  Mary

   Thks Mary.
   Will try to find something similar because being in Melbourne Ausralia we can't always get the same materials on offer in America, but the idea of the type of interfacing you suggested might help.
   Once again thks for the suggestion.

   While looking for something else, I found an article in Threads #129 pp53-55. It just about covers everything about belts.

   You cannot find the whole article on line from Threadsmagazine.com but sometimes they feature special items and have the article available as a download. I'll take a look at the site to see if it is there - rather doubt it thoughIt's in issue #129 Feb/March 2007, you may be able to find the magazine at your library.

   I just chedcked the page and it is great. Thankyou. It has given me lots of ideas. The only thing is that I will probably want to make a belt for each dress I make!!!

   I have used buckram to make belts that I wanted to be really stiff. You can buy this in shops that sell curtain materials.
