Mondo or Midi Bag batting
I started a Midi Bag yesterday and I also have the grid interfacing to make a Mondo bag. The pattern and gridded interfacing are from Quiltsmart.com. I did a quick search here on the board and I haven't been able to find any posts about what kind of batting has been used. The pattern calls for fusible fleece, which I don't have on hand. Has anybody made either of these and used a different type of batting in it?

Most battings need to be stitched down at least every 5-8 inches(depending on manufacturer), especially if you're going to wash it. I've made the Mondo bag and the fusible fleece is not stitched down except for at the seams. I would imagine regular batting could tear, migrate or bunch due to the lack of quilting or stitching.

It's kind of funny to see this post because I just started working on my Mondo bag yesterday. It's coming along nicely so far. I think I have the midi bag pattern too somewhere. Would love to see yours when it's done.

im actually using the directions for the Mondo bag to make the Midi Bag! I bought the Mondo Bag Pattern & interfacing as a kit a couple of years ago but I bought just the Midi interfacing at a quilt shop last fall when we were on vacation in Hilton Head. The quilt shop worker told me if I had the instructions for the Mondo, I didn't need the pattern for the Midi. So far, so good ! I just need to get the fusible fleece this weekend to finish it up.
