Top 10 Questions About Pellon 820 Fusible Quilter's Grid
Q: What makes Pellon 820 Fusible Quilter's Grid different from regular Tru-Grid (810)?
A: The 820 Quilter's Grid is fusible — it has a heat-activated adhesive that allows it to temporarily bond to fabric for appliqué positioning and template work. Tru-Grid (810) is non-fusible and used purely for drafting and tracing. The fusible version is the choice when you need the grid to hold in place during project construction.
Q: What is Pellon 820 Quilter's Grid used for?
A: It is primarily used for accurate appliqué placement — trace your appliqué design onto the grid, fuse it to your background fabric to mark exact positions, then remove and position your appliqué pieces perfectly. Also excellent for creating fusible templates for repeated pattern motifs.
Q: Can Quilter's Grid be removed after fusing?
A: The fusible bond is designed to be light and temporary enough to allow repositioning before final pressing. Follow Pellon's instructions for the specific application temperature and duration for repositionable versus permanent bonding.
Q: How wide is Pellon 820 Quilter's Grid?
A: 45" wide — standard quilting cotton width for efficient cutting alongside project fabrics.
Q: Is the 1" grid printed on both sides?
A: The grid is printed on the non-fusible side, making it easy to trace shapes while the fusible side remains clean for bonding to fabric.
Q: Can I write and mark on Pellon 820 Quilter's Grid?
A: Yes — it accepts standard sewing marking tools, pencils, and pens clearly on the non-fusible surface for accurate design tracing.
Q: Is Quilter's Grid good for Baltimore Album and appliqué quilt blocks?
A: Yes — it is excellent for complex appliqué quilts where precise element placement is critical. The grid provides visual reference for centering and aligning motifs within each block with accuracy that is difficult to achieve with pinning alone.
Q: Is this product reusable?
A: Individual sections may be used once for permanent bonding, but the overall bolt provides many applications from a 10-yard roll. For drafting and tracing purposes, individual pieces can be reused if not permanently fused.
Q: Does Pellon 820 Quilter's Grid work with a regular household iron?
A: Yes — a dry household iron at medium heat activates the fusible coating. Always test on a scrap first and follow Pellon's instructions for your specific fabric type.
Q: Is Pellon 820 Fusible Quilter's Grid in stock at Linda's?
A: Check the current product listing for live availability.
