I just made a psot on the bow tucks today...several said they had used regular batting and baste on spray. That's what I will do next. I did not enjoy using the fleece! at $10 for 2 yards (with 40% off!) it should have "stuck" much better to the fabric imho. I ended up pinning it just to quilt it. I do like how the bag has turned out though and will make another but I won't spend my money on the fusible fleece!
