Old vs. New Timtex Challenge

Robyn's Demitasse Bag #2

Craft blogger Robyn of Dog Named Banjo has been testing out the newly reformulated Timtex by comparing it to the old Timtex. She’s has made two darling bags to test the two types. Check out Robyn’s adorable Demitasse Bags One and Two.

After I worked with the new and went back to working with the old, I really didn’t notice much of a difference at all! The older Timtex is slightly heavier and more fibery (if that makes any sense) than the new, but as I worked with both side by side, they really were both incredibly similar, and equally effective in keeping the shape of the bag. So it looks like you really can’t go wrong with the new stuff!

I’d like to get Vilene S520 in the states. I have some samples from Australia. It seems thinner and more open. Does Freudenberg distribute the S520 here?

Thank you. Love the blog!
