Rigilene is a sewing whale that provides shape and support for all types of projects: in garments, costumes and crafts. It is a braid that has small plastic rods running along its length, can be cut with regular scissors, can be zig-zagged or straight sewn directly through the material, and can even be washed and dry cleaned without a change to its stiffness. All this makes it very easy to work with. The price is per meter.
