A fusible 2.5” layout grid for Watercolor and Bargello Quilting

2.5” Grid will result in 2” finished fabric squares

100% Polyester.  120cm Wide.

How to use:-

• Position the 2.5” Grid on a wall or flat surface.  Make sure the corners are securely fastened.  It’s easier to work on a vertical surface to better visualize fabric placement and color blending.

   

• Cut the fabric into 2.5” squares and sort according to the desired pattern. Squares that are larger can also be used.  By mixing different sizes you can create contrast and texture to the design.

   

• Remember a 2.5” square will come out a finished 2” square.  A 1/4” seam allowance is specified when stitching the squares.  Lay the fabric squares facing up on the fusible side of the interfacing.  To hold the fabric squares in place, you can lightly tack the fabric to the fusible side, or you can permanently fuse the fabric after it has been positioned on the 2.5” grid.  Use the wool setting and light steam to firmly hold the squares in place for wall hangings.  For a lighter feel, gently tack the squares in place with a hand iron without pressing.
• To stitch all the squares together, FOLD on the dotted line and sew a 1/4″ seam along the folded edge.  Repeat for the next row and sew in the reverse direction to eliminate any warping.  Before sewing the rows in the opposite direction, either horizontal or vertical, be sure to clip at intersection to allow seam line to nest properly.
