Top 10 Questions About Pellon 810 Tru-Grid
Q: What is Pellon 810 Tru-Grid used for?
A: Tru-Grid is used for drafting and copying sewing patterns, creating quilt block templates, tracing quilting designs, making custom fitting adjustments, and any sewing or quilting task where a pre-printed 1" grid provides the visual reference needed for accurate measurement and drafting.
Q: What makes Tru-Grid better than plain paper for pattern making?
A: The printed 1" grid provides instant visual measurement reference — you can size up patterns, add seam allowances, and verify dimensions at a glance without constantly measuring. The non-woven fabric is also more durable than paper, making patterns that can be used repeatedly without tearing.
Q: Is Pellon 810 Tru-Grid the same as tracing paper?
A: Tru-Grid is see-through like tracing paper but is made from non-woven fabric rather than paper, making it more durable and easier to cut with scissors or a rotary cutter. The 1" printed grid adds the measurement reference that plain tracing paper lacks.
Q: Can Tru-Grid be used for quilting design templates?
A: Yes — it is excellent for creating custom quilting stencils and design templates. The grid makes it easy to draft symmetrical designs, feathers, and custom motifs with consistent spacing and proportions.
Q: Is Pellon Tru-Grid fusible?
A: No — 810 Tru-Grid is non-fusible. It is a drafting and pattern-making material, not an interfacing or stabilizer. For fusible grid product, see Pellon 820 Fusible Quilter's Grid.
Q: Can I write and draw on Tru-Grid?
A: Yes — it accepts pencil, pen, and marking tools well. The non-woven fabric surface holds markings clearly for accurate pattern work.
Q: How wide is Pellon 810 Tru-Grid?
A: 45" wide — providing ample drafting space for most pattern pieces and quilting templates in a single width.
Q: Is Tru-Grid reusable?
A: Yes — the non-woven fabric construction makes patterns durable and reusable across many cutting sessions, unlike paper patterns that tear with repeated use.
Q: Can I use Tru-Grid to copy an existing pattern?
A: Yes — place Tru-Grid over an existing pattern and trace through the transparent material. The 1" grid makes scaling up or down straightforward.
