First class tutorial by a seasoned professional!❤❤

[@TensistersTVShow]

Thank you Pat💕

[@Matty06001]

Excellent video! One could also fuse that small section of interfacing by turning the panel over, so the fabric right side is down, fusing just that little piece onto one side, easier to see the lines. And then turn it over and fuse the other panel as you described. I’m trying to work with this grid stuff and learning the best techniques. You nailed it!

[@TensistersTVShow]

Thanks Matty!

[@catherinek785]

I’m anxious to try this method. Hoping other videos show the technique more. Also, there’s too much hand movement in this one. If you could demonstrate the grid technique without so much hand movement it would help. Maybe it’s just me, but it’s dizzying!

[@anissaa1520]

OMG! I was at the Sewing Expo today! Stopped by your booth and fell in love with this concept. Picked up the spool pattern, can’t wait to get started. The Demo was so cute and energetic. Glad I stopped by😁

[@carmengeddes5153]

Just saw this message Anissa! Thanks for stopping by!

[@margomason572]

This is genius!

[@carmengeddes5153]

Thank you for watching Marge!

[@mygeorge1951]

I'm truly enjoying this tutorial. I will be making my first Grid Quilt and I'm so excited. Will you be attending the Dallas Quilt Show in March 2024?

[@TensistersTVShow]

Thanks for watching! I'm excited for your project-- I won't be at that show sadly, but it's on my list!

[@elizabethgardner5207]

Thank you so much. I have been struggling to consistently sew my tiny scraps and this technique is genius. Straight lines, equal spacing, it does it al.

[@TensistersTVShow]

Thanks for watching Elizabeth! It is a little addicting and fun!

[@madhavidharankar]

[@judijorden6526]

Love this grid!

[@carmengeddes5153]

Thanks Judi!

[@roseklingenberg5157]

Awesome!

[@lindarobison4711]

Great idea love how easy it is

[@mbytmro]

I love this technique especially since I am a little OCD with making my corners match up. You can’t go wrong when using this grid!

[@TensistersTVShow]

Thanks my friend😍

[@DonnaMarieEndlessPages]

i LOVE this - my mistake, doing one that isn't on there and making block by block and finishing each block and THEN trying to put them together. I have about 5 squares and I guess I am going to now make them into pillows. I have trouble piecing them together after they are sewn. I'll be watching for the next video

Thanks for watching Amy!

[@maxcat7630]

Thank you for sharing! I love it!

[@TensistersTVShow]

Thank you!!

[@joanwilliams5743]

I just put together my first spool using different blue blocks. Oh my Gosh. I stopped by your booth at the Atlanta Quilting Expo and I was blown away by this method. I am an intermediate quilter and have tried lots of methods to make blocks next perfectly. This one is a winner. I will do a large quilt next using one of your patterns and panels from your shop. I loved your booth and your constant teaching at your booth. I brought ladies over just to hear you demonstrate how this all works. Thank you so much Carmen. You are so gifted.

[@TensistersTVShow]

Thanks so much Joan! I'm so happy you are having fun with EasyPiecing Grid! My friend started a FB page called Tensisters Grid Quilts where everyone is sharing their projects and getting tips if you'd like to share your cute spool! Hope to see you again!

[@heidilady]

I would love if these grids were water soluble.

[@TensistersTVShow]

Thanks for watching Heidi! I really thought about that while developing our grid, but it came down to ease of pressing to get a really great quilt top. I use steam! But we do pay extra for a product that is lightweight, yet strong.

[@KH-ko1kh]

The overview of the whole grid concept is a bit overwhelming, but I’ll look for step-by-by tutorials if you’ve posted any. It’s definitely intriguing.

[@TensistersTVShow]

Hi Karen, Thanks for watching! Here is a link to a whole class on EasyPiecing Grid I filmed for Riley Blake fabrics if you're interested! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHTSl6Zvhs6sis0

[@xxdonna1959xx]

Just found these grids, looking forward to trying! What size are the panels?

[@amandalarsenwells2758]

hi! I looooove your product but i loooove to handquilt! how are the panels for hand quilting through?

[@TensistersTVShow]

Thanks for watching Amanda! Yes, I've had some good feedback for handquilting-- a few tips: use steam when pressing seams, spray quilt top back with water and tumble in the dryer for 10-15 minutes, or wash the quilt top. The foundation just gets softer and softer. Doesn't ball up or wash away. Hope that helps!

[@stellacullum7739]

Do you have quilt patterns for the sampler behind you? And what size are the blocks? It's so BEAUTIFUL...

[@TensistersTVShow]

Thanks for watching Stella. The blocks are 12 x 12 finished. The pattern is in my Seven Brothers Block Party book available on tensisters.com 😀

[@Mickey-jn8hz]

I would love to try this but on a small project, like placemats or table runner. Is this available?

[@TensistersTVShow]

Hi Mickey. thanks for watching! Go to www.tensisters.com where there are over 70 patterns, most of which are free downloads and lots of small projects. A six panel pack would be enough for several. Good luck!

[@elaineadair]

Watching again - after not being successful using my own method. 8-( I'm here in western Nebraska - within reasonable driving distance to your shop. ... one of these days, I'll get there for a class or ?

[@smandler2000]

I’m wondering if the fusing makes the finished quilt stuff?

[@carmengeddes5153]

Our product is really lightweight! The real trick for a soft quilt top is using steam when pressing the back seams!

[@carolynkusler6812]

Do you finish the quilt made with the grid in the same manner as those made without--batting and backing?

[@TensistersTVShow]

Hi Carolyn, thanks for watching! Yes, you treat it like any quilt top!

[@ruthhoover1537]

I purchased some 2.5" squares from my quilt shop, washed and dried them and had a mess. The squares were not square anymore due to shrinkage! How do you treat the squares? If not prewashed, does the finished product turn out unevenly?

[@patref55]

Hi Ruth, Thanks for watching. What is the name of your quilt shop and where is it located? The grid should NOT be pre-washed. Feel free to call anytime. My husband Patrick's # is [phone] and we can talk about your experience.

[@patanderson7136]

I ordered some free patterns and some $.99 patterns from the day you were on My Girlfriends Quilt Shoppe and did not receive them with the rest of my order. What can be done to correct this? Thank You. Pat

[@TensistersTVShow]

Hi Pat. I'm just getting to these messages! Thanks for reaching out-- you should have received an email with a download link. Sometimes that email goes to your spam folder. I'll look up your order and email them to you!

[@rosaredondo1598]

I’m so confused beginner here and have yet to put together my first quilt after so many videos. Loved your idea but can’t understand how it’s actually done 🤷‍♀️ lol 59 yo grandma

[@TensistersTVShow]

Rosa there are SO many fun ways to make a quilt! Our technique using a grid foundation which is accurate and fun. But you might check out some videos on beginning quilting too. Don't worry you'll do great!

[@andreawhite4401]

Where can I buy your books?

[@TensistersTVShow]

Hi Andrea. Thanks for watching! The link to tensisters.com is just below the video screen. Check out all the free patterns in the shop too!

[@xxdonna1959xx]

Looking down at what yiu are doing on the table is out of focus when doing close ups 🙁

[@loyrebecca]

What is the name of the fabric used in the quilt behind you

[@TensistersTVShow]

It's a Riley Blake line called Arbor Blossom. It's from a few years ago!

[@suehorn4182]

Interested however you don’t show dimensions of the panels. If you do I sure can’t find it.

[@TensistersTVShow]

Hi Sue-Thanks for watching! Each panel is 9 x 14 squares; 1",1.5", and 2 inch finished. So the first quilt I show is 1.5" finished, and the panel at the end of video is 2' finished.

[@johnniefoster2507]

What setting is your iron on? No steam or steam?

[@TensistersTVShow]

Johnnie, just saw this comment! I love steam with a hot iron!

[@bettyannbob4544]

Were in Canada can I get a panel from

[@TensistersTVShow]

Hi Betty--thanks for watching! If you email us at [e-mail] we can talk about shops in Canada that carry our products and postage for us to send to you!
