Is there an easy way to sew a scrappy quilt? YES! There is!!
After making many, many pojects with the Boxed Bag Template, I have LOTS of fabric squares piled up! Of course, these would make a perfect scrappy quilt... so, I'm using Fusible Watercolor Grid to make it easy on myself!

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! 🎉❤

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!😂

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

@thefeays 10 ай бұрын

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

@CarolinaMoore 10 ай бұрын

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. 🥰

I have re-threaded my machine 2x, wrap the thread, start running the machine and yet it doesn't catch on the bobbin. Foot down on the pedal and the bobbin just sits perfectly still. I am using a dark thread for contrast & it does not load on the bobbin. What is wrong?

@CarolinaMoore 23 күн бұрын

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.

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

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

@gvert4873 11 ай бұрын

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 10 ай бұрын

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

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!

@CarolinaMoore 11 ай бұрын

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

@nancybell6121 Жыл бұрын

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

@CarolinaMoore Жыл 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.

@mxrubyrouge Жыл бұрын

@Angela Pingel created this technique years ago.

@CarolinaMoore Жыл бұрын

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.

@lindapucillo7875 10 ай бұрын

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.

@nicolerose4980 10 ай бұрын

Why can’t you press the seams open?

@CarolinaMoore 10 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.
