Pellon 820 Fusible Quilter Grid 45in x 10 Yards White

The Pellon 820 Fusible Quilter’s Grid — 45" x 10 Yards White is a fusible non-woven interfacing printed with a 1" grid of lines, providing a built-in reference grid for cutting, aligning, and positioning fabric pieces on a quilt top. The grid lines eliminate the need for separate marking and measuring when working with fusible appliqué, foundation piecing, and any technique benefiting from a pre-printed alignment reference.

Top 10 Questions About Pellon 820 Fusible Quilter Grid

What is the grid used for?: The 1" printed grid provides a reference for cutting fusible interfacing at precise measurements, positioning appliqué shapes in exact alignment, and creating foundation-pieced blocks on a pre-gridded fusible base. It replaces separate measuring and marking steps in several quilting techniques.
Is Pellon 820 the same as standard fusible fleece?: No — 820 Fusible Quilter’s Grid is a flat, lightweight interfacing (not fleece) with a printed grid. It provides fusible backing without significant loft or padding, primarily serving as a precise grid-guided fusible base.
Is 820 appropriate for whole-cloth quilt layout?: Yes — the grid provides a reference for evenly spacing quilting designs across a whole-cloth quilt top when the interfacing is fused to the back of the top fabric.
Can 820 be used for foundation paper piecing without paper?: The grid provides a sewable, removable foundation alternative for some foundation piecing techniques. Check pattern requirements to confirm grid spacing compatibility.
Is the grid printed on both sides or one side?: The grid is printed on one side. The opposite side (or a specific side) carries the fusible adhesive. Review current product labeling to identify the fusible side.
Is 820 washable?: Yes — when fused and incorporated into a finished project, designed for laundering.
What is the 45" width useful for?: 45" accommodates full quilt-top-width applications and large fusible appliqué preparations across standard quilting cotton width.
Is 820 appropriate for rulers-free cutting with grid reference?: Yes — the printed grid allows cutting without a quilting ruler for the 1" increments printed on the product, reducing tool requirements for simple grid-based cuts.
Is the 10-yard bolt economical?: Yes — for regular quilters and studios using grid-referenced fusible techniques, 10 yards provides substantial project inventory.
Is 820 the right choice for appliqué preparation?: For appliqué preparation where the grid reference provides useful positioning guidance, yes. For standard appliqué without grid positioning requirements, standard lightweight fusible or SF101 may be more appropriate.
