Padded through the construction
Quilting bonds a wadding layer between face and lining and stitches through all three, which gives cushioning and structure at once — the pouch holds shape empty. The stitch pattern is structural rather than decorative, so changing it changes both the look and how the pouch stands. Confirm loft and stitch spacing on a physical sample.
How the open-top construction works
No closure at all: the pouch is a sleeve or liner that protects against dust, scratching and contact rather than containing contents. It is used as an inner within a box, or where the item is inserted and immediately placed inside something else.
Confirm depth relative to the contents — an open-top sleeve that is too shallow leaves the item exposed at exactly the point it needs covering.
