Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the printed grid replace?
- The ruler, mostly — seam allowances, scaling, and squareness read at a glance against the 1" grid instead of being measured line by line. Drafting speed roughly doubles against blank paper.
- Why fabric instead of paper patterns?
- Durability — traced patterns survive dozens of pin-and-cut sessions where tissue tears on the second use; a copied commercial pattern on Tru-Grid becomes the permanent working copy.
- Tru-Grid or 820 Quilter's Grid?
- Fusibility — 810 is pure drafting material; 820 adds a heat-activated face for positioning work on fabric. Drafting stays here; placement work steps to 820.
- Quilting-design use?
- Custom motif and feather drafting — the grid keeps spacing and symmetry honest, then the see-through material traces onto the quilt-marking medium.
- Copying an existing pattern?
- Lay it over and trace — the transparency plus grid makes graded sizing and fit alterations straightforward on the copy rather than the original.
