sorry for the misunderstanding, about fusible things!

The role of the stabliser is to strengthen/support/carry the stress, but it doesn't actually need to be heavy fabric, the buckles are sewn into it (from the front) and it takes the brunt of the pull of the kilt when worn .
I use linen, others use cotton sheeting, one kilt maker here uses a print of the USA flag, I like the idea of woven cloth rather than vilene/non fusible stuff as it doesn't havethe same inherent strength simply because it's not woven.
