Does anyone know if there is an instructional video on youtube for the bowtucks bag?

Do you have specific questions on the bow tucks?
I may be able to help...... : )

Well, nothing specific....just from start to finish. I have some pretty expensive fabric that I want to make my DIL a bag and I don't want to mess it up. I have read and reread the instructions. I finally found some of that fusible fleece stuff. So I guess I iron that on the front first and then lay the back side on and then quilt it? Then probably cut it out and then start sewing? I guess I put this fusible fleece on the front and back side of the bag but not the ends? Like I said...nothing specific.

first you sew the front pocket to the front pocket lining along the long sides.
then you sew the top pieces to the bottom pieces again along the longest edges.

I usually do most of the prep sewing first, then do the fusing to the pieces that get the fusible fleece.
then do your quilting on the 4 large pieces that get quilted --each piece is quilted individually. You do not quilt the lining to the outside pieces.

My fabric is not pre-quilted, so do I quilt with the fleece in it or no?

You first sew the top to the bottom, then you will fuse one piece of fleece to each top/bottom piece AND one piece to each of the lining pieces.

then you will quilt each of those 4 fused pieces individually. Do NOT quilt them together.

Make sense??

The instructions I had were a little hard to follow. You do fuse the fusible fleece to the front and lining pieces but than you quilt them all separately. After that you get to join them.
