Its not fusible webbing. Its for stiffening fabric crafts like purses and hats. You sew it into the material. Its usually white and very fiberous looking. I'm having a brain cramp and cannot for the life of me remember what its called. Need to pick up some for a project but don't want to sound like the idiot I am. :)

Interfacing is used to stiffen fabric--it comes in differing stiffenessses for differing weights of fabric! Interfacing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about textiles and sewing. For other uses, see Interfacing (disambiguation).
black interfacing, medium strength
Interfacing is a textile used on the unseen or "wrong" side of fabrics to make an area of a garment more rigid.
Interfacings can be used to:
* stiffen or add body to fabric, such as the interfacing used in shirt collars
* strengthen a certain area of the fabric, for instance where buttonholes will be sewn
* keep fabrics from stretching out of shape, particularly knit fabrics
Interfacings come in a variety of weights and stiffnesses to suit different purposes. Generally, the heavier weight a fabric is, the heavier weight an interfacing it will use. Most modern interfacings have heat-activated adhesive on one side. They are affixed to a garment piece using heat and moderate pressure, from a hand iron for example. This type of interfacing is known as "fusible" interfacing. Non-fusible interfacings do not have adhesive and must be sewn by hand or machine.
A common trade name for interfacing is Vilene.

It is called crinoline.
It was a pain to wear as an under garment, but we wore it. You can find scads for cheap in thrift stores. It steams flat and irons on the cotton setting.

If it's on a bolt like fabric, it's called interfacing.
If it's on a roll like belt material, it's buckram.

Could it be Vellum (I don`t know if I spelled it right) The stuff you put between lapels that make them lie flat? I Hope it helps.
