About the Grid Templates for use with the MISTI

[@cherylscrivens3560]

Had to watch this again, Maureen. Thanks so much. Now that I'm feeling comfortable with my MISTI, I want to finish making all my bumpers! Thank you! Hugs!

[@MsNEEDLEUP]

Just got my Misti and I can't wait to use it. Your videos are such a help. Thank you!!!!

[@donnan1905]

Thanks for all of your information and ideas. I just received my misti, much of my decision to purchase one was because your your videos.

[@HandmadeByLinanne]

Fabulous video! The Dritz is identical, I have them. Love the bumpers idea, cool! Thanks for taking the time to share!

[@AshlynsCardShop]

Thank you for sharing, Maureen. This is very helpful!

[@sarahwold4350]

Woops....found it....thanks. I really will get the grid sheets and sticky sheets and get going. You are awesome.

[@carolmelancon]

Cool! I was thinking just last week of making a "rule of thirds" template, too. Thank you for taking the time to make this compilation video. I've saved it to my MISTI playlist for easy reference.

[@1stTessa]

Brilliant ideas Maureen thank you so much for sharing

[@dharkling890]

Thank you for this video! Great ideas and helpful tips.

[@louisejohnston4876]

excellent ideas and description /tutorial. Thanks.

[@lindaperna9175]

Great video. I found the gridded sheets at Michael's under the brand Loops and Threads. 2 gridded sheets and 3 plain.

[@darmitchell1229]

Hi Maureen I hope you don't mind me asking but did you cut your vinyl with a utility knife? They are kind of thick and yours look really straight. Thanks for the good tips. :)

[@Maureen97Designs]

Darlene Mitchell Hi Darlene! No, I didn't use a utility knife, I actually cut them very carefully and slowly with some heavy scissors. Hope this helps!

[@TheBethoula]

Great info! Thanks for sharing!

[@nicholawelham8194]

thank you for your helpful video. could you please share a link to the grid you printed please. I can't find it. x

[@StampNStitch]

FYI the grid plastic material is no longer available at Joann Fabric. I did go into the store and i was able to purchase it. I don't know if it is only available in the stores and not online.

[@cardstockcollector]

Thank you.

[@andrealavigne7824]

I was just wondering why the "bumper" templates have to be gridded? Couldn't you use the plain sheets and just cut them to certain widths? It does make sense to have the A2 template gridded, since you can use it to position your stamps. I just find it a bit confusing. Thanks for sharing this, though!

[@Maureen97Designs]

Hi Andrea - I cut the bumpers from the gridded sheets because I had lots left over after I cut the A2 template. Also, the bumpers need to be cut straight and even and it's easy to do that with the grids, instead of having to measure the blank sheets. Finally, there are probably other uses for them that I haven't figured out yet and it might be handy to have the grids. Hope this helps!

[@cherylh7559]

Hi, could you tell me what the sticky mat you are using in the video is. Do you have a video showing it. Thank yiu

I looked for a video on the sticky mat, but could not find...why do you use it and how? Do you buy it?

[@Maureen97Designs]

Susan Lankford The video which talks about the sticky mat is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJvHdIiLn7-cfaM . I cut down these mats from Amazon: smile.amazon.com/Sizzix-eclips-Accessory-Cutting-Pack/dp/B0041V6JQI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1426291187&sr=8-1&keywords=eclipse+cutting . Hope this helps!

[@readingandstitching1944]

Hi Maureen...Thx so much for your answer...I so appreciate you taking the time to help! I did go ahead and buy the mat and am looking forward to using it!

[@debilowery944]

Did you cut these gridded mats with a utility knife also?...thanks

[@Maureen97Designs]

It wasn't necessary - they're pretty easy to cut with scissors.

[@HFDay-qi6yc]

Do you think you could actually do an example using this temples . . Instead of just using the temples and no stamping .. because, I still really don't understand what you mean.

[@Maureen97Designs]

L Mendoza I show the bumpers in use in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqCxZoWLiZmkqbs . Hope this helps!

[@cindyodear7898]

Where do you find the actual templates for stamping in a circle. octagon, etc?

[@Maureen97Designs]

Hi Cindy! You can find them here: mycasestudies.blogspot.com/2015/02/misti-templates.html

[@karenpang8273]

what is the sticky mat for the MISTI? where can i find that?

[@Maureen97Designs]

I cut these down to size with a ruler and utility knife: smile.amazon.com/Sizzix-eclips-Accessory-Cutting-Pack/dp/B0041V6JQI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1426291187&sr=8-1&keywords=eclipse+cutting

[@littlemissmakeup075]

i printed mine on printable acetate and then laminated the sheet then cut down so i can use both sides and not worry of the ink comeing off

[@candybarnett4215]

What is the name of the Misti group on Facebook?

[@Maureen97Designs]

Candy Barnett Hi Candy! I'm sorry - I just updated the information in the description. The original MISTIfied group has been closed and most of us are now at MISTIfans. You can find the creator of MISTI (Iliana) along with the official forum at Splitcoast. Links are above. Hope this helps!

[@marymccann3759]

What was the name of the MISTI users facebook page again? I get my MISTI on Monday!!! Squeel

[@STRAHAN50]

Too confusing a video for me.

[@Maureen97Designs]

I'm sorry about that, Helen. Is there anything in particular I can clear up for you? I'm happy to help!

[@iampaperprincess]

Helen Strahan Agreed.....lots of confusion. I think what would be helpful is instead of talking about some of the tips and just gesturing your hands (like the "negative" on the clear plastic template), or just showing the "bumpers", you might show examples. I understand the A2 grid with the center line, but the bumpers idea is confusing. That said, I do appreciate you taking the time to create videos and will take a look and some of the others. :)

[@Maureen97Designs]

iampaperprincess Sorry for the confusion! Here is another video that actually shows the bumpers in use: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqCxZoWLiZmkqbs
