Dutch term or phrase: plakvlieseline
A substance which can be used for coating fabric. Vlieseline, being a trade name, is untranslatable (although "vliese" by itself of course means "fleece"), but the stuff is sold in the English-speaking world, so there should in theory be an English equivalent for "plakvlieseline", though I've so far been unable to dig it up through Google

fabric stiffener


Explanation:
http://www.dwconline.com/DWC/May'97/GuestEditorial.html

Fabric stiffeners are easy to work with. They can be cut with scissors to any shape desired. For example, the top and bottom of the stiffener can be trimmed to follow the print on the fabric. The stiffeners are simply ironed to the back of the decorative fabric. Stiffeners that are coated on both sides are supplied with a silicon paper that prevents them from adhering to the table while the first layer of fabric is applied.

neutral  Lianne van de Ven: I wonder about the correct use in your reference, Sindy. I know these as the powders to add to your laundry, and google images seems to confirm that.

  -> "they can be cut with scissors, the top and bottom can be trimmed"...? And many examples for "iron-on fabric stiffeners' as well. Kate's answer is clearly the preferred answer, but please do your research before you post a comment like this...
