Should I Quilt this Pouch?
When making a small pouch like this would you quilt it first? It is made with foam on the outside pieces. The pouch is 9 inches X 6 inches finished. I have never used foam (Pellon fusible, one-sided foam) and am not sure if the material will lift from the foam or not. Thanks so much.

Guess the question is ...
Is the pellon fusible foam intended as a permanent fuse?
Or temporary?
I believe it is considered permanent.
Thus, quilting would not be a pre-requisite, but rather a design choice!

Is the foam sandwiched between 2 layers of fabric? If so you could quilt it. If it doesn’t have fabric on both sides, I would try a scrap first to see if stitching through the foam cuts it. Cute kitty pouch!
