I'm in love with these products for 2 years!
If there were in my country, would go running to buy to get those beautiful patterns I see and do it quickly and well.
I do not think "cheating" I think it's a different technique!
Thanks for all the data!
MTS I must admit that although the yellow is a color chosen by me ... I really like the Lone Star!
Bobbinchick love your avatar! My favorite colors!

Hahahahaha!!!
:thumbup:

This may be a silly question but I have never used interfacing before. When you are done with the quilt does it have a crinkly feeling. Does the iterfacing dissolve when washed?

When you fold to take the seam inbetween the rows, doesn't that make it lumpy. Or do you open the seam and press it flat. I wish she had showed that step. I'm having trouble wrapping my feeble brain around it.

The first one I did I pressed to the side as directed, and it was fine.
But on the 2nd (and subsequent ones) I did press the seams open. But that was just a choice.

Because of the rectangles, there is a bit of extra heft to the sections, but you really don't feel the extra bulk. It's not a thick interfacing. Actually, it's thin enough that you can easily poke a pencil through it.

As noted upthread, you can't hand quilt it. That's out of the question.
But all of mine have been longarmed, and my friend did all of hers on her Viking, also without any problems.

I don't think it dessolves when it is washed, but no it won't have a crinkly feeling or sound as it is a real soft interfacing. It is non woven and it is pretty strong too. Have a great day Huggies, Fay

I'm glad I read this thread. I've done the bags and Christmas stockings but haven'te tried any of the quilt kits. Will have to try one of these now.

I have made several QS patterns and they have all been applique. just finished the Pumpkin Seed. I really like the concept but IMHO the interfacing material is too thin and fragil easy to poke holes in it when turning right side out.

All their patterns are wonderful. And NO it is not cheating. They just help you get the project done faster and more accurate.

yes, and no go for it.

That was really a neat tute. I wouldn't consider it cheating.

How is a quiltsmart pattern different than other patterns?

Did you read any of the (now) 50+ previous posts on this thread? Click through to any of the links?

And if all else fails, there is always this:

Until the next time.

Thank you. I did do one quilt this way, but it was just generic pre-printed squares on interfacing. I did not know it was known by anything specific as a method. (For the record, I needed the pictures to know what it was. I am a little slow on the uptake.)

I have a few but haven't done them yet...they are on THE LIST

I've heard there's also an interfacing-type product that has log cabin lines pre-printed on it that someone said they found at JoAnn's.

never saw that at joanns...will have to ask about it.

What makes Quiltsmart Patterns different than other patterns?

Looks good to me, I'd try it.

Hi Everyone, I'm new around here and I need some help please. I am wanted to make a wedding ring quilt using Quiltsmart, because I know I'll never be able to do any other way. lol I have tried for days to get someone at QuiltSmart to answer the to no avail and I've finally sent them an email. Do you ladies know if they are still in business? What I'm needing to know is if I buy the Classic Wedding Ring the biggest it will be is a lap size...well I need/want a king and I have no clue how many extra panels I am going to need. If anyone can help I would really appreciated it! Thanks Maria

i've used many quiltsmart patterns- they help you make wonderful quilts- and i do not consider any technique (cheating) that is such a horrible-negative term- if you find a new way to do something and it is a time saver that's great---no reason to stick some negativity to it...panals make wonderful quilts...fusable interfacing can be used to make wonderful quilts- there is nothing cheating about any of it.
