    Pellon has this very light weight fusable grid and I have used it several times for single quilt blocks or small projects. I very much like it; it makes a tedious process easy. The piece is slight stiffer than without the fusable, but not problematic for quilting. After sewing the rows, I very carefully cut off just a sliver of the folded seam at its edge. Then press all row seams one direction and proceed to sew the seams for columns. After those are finished I also cut a sliver off the edge of the seams and press all column seams one direction. Attached are two doll quilts made using this product. For the first one I made HSTs and fused them to the grid. [ATTACH=CONFIG]457553[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]457554[/ATTACH]

    I have bought most all they have on offer and I can say the product was wonderful to use. I have made baby q's with the grid and 2" square method and the little phone bags were great too. I made a whole slew of these for a fundraiser silent auction and they were snapped up right away. Good people to deal with and good product on offer. Big thumbs up for them.

    I also did a watercolor quilt with the fusible interfacing. It came out okay, but it gummed up my machine. Since then I haven't tried another.

    I made a quilt using that method and it turned out quite well
