I can see where it might help with a lot of small pieces, but not the size the video was using.
I got a piece of it several years ago at a trunk show I went to. It was intended to be used for a landscape quilt, or one of those with all the flowers. I have a lot of fabric for it, but it got put in a drawer and has not been a priority; one of these days I will play with it. It seems that nowadays there are so many other newer techniques that would be just as easy. Once you sew all the rows in one direction you have to snip the seams where the intersections will be and then sew the rows in the other direction. I am also wondering if it will add stiffness to it. The seams will certainly be bulkier.
