Do you use batting in your Bow Tucks Tote when you make them?
I am looking to make mine this weekend but have no batting at home, so wondering if I need to make a stop at Joann.

Absolutely! Your bag will be too "floppy" if you don't. I have been using a heavier fabric too, which also helps keep it's shape. I was afraid to make this bag because I am not a very good sewer, but surprisingly enough, it was pretty easy and I love how mine turned out. (I have made 3)

I haven't made one yet but I did purchase the pattern. They call for fusible fleece. I suppose you could use batting because they have to be quilted anyway; I think everyone on the board used fusible fleece.
Hope this helps.

I'm gonna try what I have around here. I have some thin fleece and batting. I also going to use spray basting. I have used the pellon fusible fleece. It worked good but I'm along way to a source. Be sure and post pic

I do. I teach this class and we use fusible fleece b y pellon. Works great or just a regular thin cotton batting works great too, because you are going to quilt both the outside and inside lining....lot's of quilting but worth it. Make sure you baste everything too....makes a huge difference in the finished product.

I have also by mistake used both. It came out alright, but it sure was thick to sew. :)
