After 25years of quilting I finally started a postage stamp quilt for me and my husband. NOW I find your brilliant grid. Oh well mine won't be as perfect as yours!

I hang it off the edge of my ironing board and press all seams in one direction, move the next row up, and press the seams in the other direction. Nothing gets in the way of your iron because it is hanging down away from the row you are ironing. I see no need to spin the seams on these small pieces. I just make bags with mine, but it would depend on what you are shooting for. Also, I made my own 2.5 grid on poster board that I clip a piece of light interfacing on top of. I lay out my squares as I wish and can iron right on top of that poster board that I have laid on my ironing board. Thank you for a great video!

I have never thought of doing this before, and I’ve been a quilter for over 40 years! Great idea sweetheart and thank you! 🎉❤

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

Super cute! It would be really cute to use for a zipper pouch or bag; the little bit of interfacing would add some structure. Also, you just taught me that my Oliso iron can stand up!😂

I have just now seen your tutorial and this is an amazing idea. I never thought of putting fusible on the back and sewing them together. I have been quilting for many years and have never thought of this method. Great idea!!!

It seems like a smaller iron might be easier to use when pressing the individual seam allowances.

I've seen this a few days ago. Someone used them for making pixel art quilts. I think that is a great idea 😊

This looks cool. I'm wondering if it's actually faster than just regular piecing?

@CarolinaMoore

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. 🥰

Many thanks for your tutorial. This seems a perfect method for making a quilt with a material less stable than cotton such as silky and slippery fabrics. Am I right?

@CarolinaMoore

9 ай бұрын

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

Always wondered how this worked. Thanks for a very easy and thorough tutorial. Does the interfacing come in a 21/2” grid" or other sizes? I have a ton of quilt binding pieces that are 21/2”. I would like to try this method, it looks like fun.

Hi Carolina, What foot do you use on your Baby Lock to get a quarter inch seam? Thank you!

@CarolinaMoore

10 ай бұрын

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

Would pressing left to right make pressing easier? I'm new to quitting and eager to try this.

@CarolinaMoore

11 ай бұрын

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.

Where can I get that bosal interfacing?

Do you know if there are 2.5in square fusible bosal? I have tons of those Moda Candies- and I am not going to square them all down- but they would make such a cute, quick, scrappy patchwork quilt!

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

@Angela Pingel created this technique years ago.

@CarolinaMoore

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.

It just now dawned on me. The aunt and uncle we lived with a majority of our lives had the last name "Moore".

It might be easier with those tiny rod irons

Why can’t you press the seams open?

@CarolinaMoore

9 ай бұрын

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.

Rather toss them

Could you press the seams open instead? Would certainly make pressing easier.

@CarolinaMoore

11 ай бұрын

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

AND tell the Quilters about your ruler
