Another thing to add to this procedure is to sew every other seam in the same direction. When done with one direction, turn the whole thing around and sew the remaining seams from the other direction. Then repeat going across the block, so half your seams are sewn from one way and half from the other. So if you have any distortion, this will help prevent it.

Quilt in a Day has a video showing this technique for any of you visual learners.

Bookmarking this. I might try a small project using a wash away machine embroidery stabilizer.....

Sure changes your attitude about doll quilts. Thanx for the link

Use REALLY thin interfacing and place it over a paper grid on the ironing board and pin the outside edges to keep it from moving - don't bother to mark the interfacing. Easy peasy, and not so thick. You can cut the seams open, or clip each intersection, depending on how you feel that day. -LOL!

Looks like it's worth a try, though I did a watercolor quilt by Whims that gummed up my machine. I hope the newer fusibles are less gummy.

Has anyone tried using the embroidery wash-a-way stuff (something that's water soluable) w/this method?

I remember buying some of the gridded interfacing years ago thinking I would do a watercolor quilt with it.

Joanns carries the gridded lightweight interfacing in the section where they have all that sort of thing. It also comes in an on point version.

I used this method one time to do a watercolor windmill. It worked great.
