Question fusible grid for piecing little squares?

So I was just Googling around and have found some tips/tutorials for piecing tiny squares using fusible interfacing.

like so:

and I picked up a kit on the way to work to try this out for a coaster:

Have you guys tried these methods? Have you tried it with HSTs?

Last night I tried sewing some 1/2" HST blocks (1" square unfinished) I made with Thangles and ended up just tossing it all in the trash. Not for me! But now that I have found this, I am considering pulling out the squares I didn't already mess up by sewing and trimming out of the can. Hancock's sells the 1" grid fusible, I could go home the long way and pick some up if they have it in stock...



oh... afterthought.... if you have done this with the polyester fusible as a foundation.... did you wash your cottons first? if not, how did they hold up after laundering? I want to make some mug rugs out of these as gifts, wouldn't want to have them go wonky after the first washing.
