A new product

This is a new Pellon product -- or new to me anyway.

It is a very light weight fusible web with a one inch on point grid.

I decided to try it for the Christmas stockings that I like to make - I would find making the scrappy on point "fabric piece" for the stocking shape to be quite time consuming.




You cut your squares of fabric to fit on a one inch grid -- but slightly smaller - these squares are cut 2 7/8 inches - so there is a little space between each piece. You iron them on the grid and then just sew seams of 1.4 inch along in each direction.



It was quite quick and easy and then gives me a big piece of fabric squares to cut out my pattern.


This is the stocking I made last year. Now I need to make one for little Hunter!!



I am just quickly typing this up as I am waiting to be picked up for my 3 day weekend quilting retreat. My first goal of the retreat is to make little Hunter a Christmas stocking. But of course I have packed up my entire quilting room to take along!!

  1. I just saw that today. Is it a fusible web? I thought it was a fusible interfacing. Of course, I did not look too closely as I was not in the market for that, just the everyday fusible interfacing for suits.

  10. Great stocking for Hunter Pam!
    I have used a fusible web for colorwash before that was up and down not on the diagonal. It looks great and makes a very cool Christmas stocking.
    Hope that the retreat was great.
    Hugs,
