    The pattern calls for Pellon 987F Fusible Fleece (about 2 yds).

    I used some very firm interfacing with some warm and natural batting. I've been using this as a tote bag. it turned out very stiff. My 2nd one I used a different lighter interfacing and warm & natural. It turned out great.

    I use left over batting and 505 spray. Works great!

    You can use several kinds of batting/interfacing. Some use the kind you can fuse, some don't. This is personal preference. Do you like it stiff or not? You can order this from JoAnns and use a discount coupon to save money.

    You can use almost anything. If you use batting but don't have or like spray baste, just pin like you would a quilt and quilt away. I use the 987 most of the time but I have used cotton batting too.

    Patterns are like recipes, you can use what you like and they are just guidelines. :)

    If your Wal-mart carries fabric they carry a Pellon fusible fleece, I think it's a little thicker then called for in the pattern but it worked great for me, my next Bow tuck I'm going to use warm and natural batting and see how I like it.

    i use what ever scraps of batting i have on hand to line any totes/purses. sometimes i just add any regular paper backed fusable i have on hand, sometimes i use a basting spray, sometimes i just baste and quilt. if i don't want the thickness of the batting i use a layer of muslin or flannel...you do not have to use just one particular product...it goes along with the recipe that says use 4 idaho potatoes...ya know, Michigan potatoes are going to work just as well; remember one of the great things about quilting is using what is available and making wonderful items out of left=overs.
