Easy Scrappy Patchwork Quilts with Fusible Watercolor Grid 

Yay!! I love that I was able to share something new with you. ❤️

Yes, it would make a cute bag!! And I'm do glad to teach you new tricks about your iron! 🥰

Oooo great idea may need to do that!

Right?? Me too! ❤️

Probably! I just didn't have it out at the time...

So glad you found me! 🥰🥰🥰

My pleasure!! ❤️

Thanks! I can't take credit for the idea... but I'm glad the video was helpful. ❤️

Oh, thanks! I didn't invent this technique, but it is a fun one to share! 🥰

Yes! An easy way to manage all the seams! ❤️

It does come in other grid sizes. ❤️

Happy to! 🥰

My pleasure!! 🥰

Yes!! So fun for pixel quilts! 😍

Oh, maybe! I might have one here somewhere??

This is a fantastic idea. I never would’ve thought of it. I’m glad you showed.

Oh, it would be!! 🥰

Thank you! ❤️

It probably depends on the quilter? And also how much they care about accuracy... lining up those seams is pretty time consuming. Different techniques have different benefits - faster, more accurate, easier, more convenient... lots of reasons to consider. 🥰

You could, but make sure they can stand up to the heat of the iron.

I did a Google search for "2.5" Bosal Grid" and some came up... so, yes, it looks like there is! 🥰

I have a couple. Currently I'm loving the quarter inch foot with guide. 🥰

Thanks!! That is my blinged-out Baby Lock machine! 🥰

Did you do that I love the machine

Maybe? But you would end up with bulkier seams because you could not spin the seams. Another option, instead of clipping each seam allowance, is to cut the seam allowance open and press the seams open rather than to the side.

I was wondering the same thing. I have some scraps from Jelly Rolls and leftover charm packs. Hmmm

You totally can. I just like side pressing. To press open, you just need pointy scissors to cut the interfacing along the seam so that it can be pressed open.

If it isn't catching the bobbin thread, I'd check these things: 1. Is the bobbin loaded correctly? 2. Can the thread spool off the bobbin freely (not tangled or stuck)? If yes to both, load the bobbin with a longer "tail" of thread. Then hand turn the fly wheel for one full cycle of the machine. That should bring the top thread down, around the bobbin, and catch the bobbin thread. Then pull on the top thread to bring the bobbin thread up. Now you've pre-caught that bobbin thread, and it should continue to catch it. Depending on the kind of machine you have, you may need to always bring your bobbin thread up. My machines are newer top-load bobbins, so this isn't something I need to do... but for older front-loading bobbins, you might need to do this each time you load the bobbin. Also, make sure you don't cut your thread tails too short after a seam, or use a leader/ender piece to keep the thread up.

This technique has been around for at least 20 years, so I'm not sure who invented it ... it certainly wasn't me! There are lots of companies with fusible grid products available.

I married into the last name, but it is a fun one! 🥰

Yes, you just cut down the middle of each seam.

Thanks! I met the owner of the company... You'd think I'd know these things! 😆
