Bow Tucks

I have made several Bow Tucks, and always use fusible Pellon, and quilt the whole thing, including the outer pocket. I feel like it makes everything more stable, since I tend to toss mine in the washer and dryer when needed. I carried one of mine for probably 2 years, and it looked as good as new, when I finally got tired of it.
When I first started making them, I grid-quilted them, but that takes longer than I want to spend to do it well. Now, I quilt with fast, curvy lines, and I love it. It's faster, and prettier, I think. :-D
Here's a picture of the one I'm carrying now...

LOVE that sunflower fabric and that purse. I agree that the pocket should be quilted, if only for stability. Most women tend to overstuff their purse pockets and quilting would help stabilize. It only takes a few extra minutes to do a job correctly the first time, so why not just do it?
As far as ironing that CRAPPY glitter fabric, I would iron from the back. The butterflies are BEAUTIFUL, but the manufacturer really cheapens the fabric by tossing glitter on it. Wish they would get that through their heads. :-D
