I found it difficult to get accurate 1/4 inch seams. This is the grid that you fuse the fabrics to the grid, fold on the line (right sides together) and sew your seam. The intersections between horizontal and vertical seams were nasty to quilt through and I had difficulty making the intersections lay flat. i won't be using the fusible grid (any size) again.

This is just my opinion.
A piggyback comment from a longarm quilter~~~quilting a top that has been pieced with this stuff is kind of like trying to quilt two cast iron skillets together. Often I have to hand walk my quilting machine through the seam intersections, and sometimes just have to live with skipped stitches. It might make good dusting cloths.
