To make quicker work of it, do what you can assembly line style. That's what I did. I did all the cutting, then all the fusing, then whatever quilting with the same color thread I could, assembled all the handles and loops. Then I went back and assembled the body of the bags. It seemed to go quicker that way. I sold a few of the Mini Bow Tucks bags for $40 each. I think I could have gotten more though. Good luck!
