Hands-on testing pending. What follows is verified reference data and manufacturer specification, marked as such.

What we verified. B09C6JL6P5 designates this one-metre cut on all six Amazon stores we checked, confirmed on EAN. The listings agree on 72 cm width and 220 g/m², and describe it as a sew-in interlining; the stated colour varies between beige and white depending on the market page, which is worth knowing if you are working with a pale outer fabric.

Where it changes the result. A bag made with quilted wadding shows every stitch line and softens over time. Style-Vil gives the same padded feel with a flat, unbroken outer surface, so a plain panel stays plain. It is also the sensible choice for a hat brim or a soft case, where you want the piece to hold its shape but still yield when it is packed. Cut it with the same scissors you use for fabric — it does not blunt them the way craft foam does.
