If the fabric you want to pick for bell bottom jeans is lighter than the jeans fabric

[addicted2crafts.livejournal.com]

Can you use a stabilizer or some other stuff on it? I ask because I heard in a how to tutorial that if your fabric is to light it';ll fold and buckle and be more like an accordion than bell botom shape. There's this adorable fabric at hancocks it's raggedy anne and andy, and then there's numbers too and I want the fabric for my pants so much, but it's light weight and the pants are kind of heavy weight.
