Collins - Grid Grip

Poly Coated gridded freezer paper used to create re-usable iron-on templates. 

Use for piecing or appliqué.

Stabilise fabric pieces while sewing.

Re-use the templates up to 50 times. 

How to use: Cut out templates with paper scissors. Place the templates onto the wrong side of fabric with the poly coated (shiny)side of the paper down. Align the built-in grainlines of the templates with the straight of grain and crosswise grain of the fabric. Press templates onto the wrong side of fabric,using a dry iron (no steam)on medium hot setting. Add ¼" seam allowance along all edges of the templates by drawing a line ¼" from edge of template using a clear ruler and pencil. Cut out pieces with scissors or rotary cutter, add ¼" seam allowance while cutting. Align right side of fabric pieces together. 

Machine piecing: remove template on bottom piece of fabric, stitch along edge of top template for accurate stitching guide. Hand piecing- use pencil to draw around template edges, peel off templates and stitch fabric on pencil line. 

TIPS: GridGrip paper can be placed over template patterns in books and magazines to trace. Duplicate pieces of fabric can be cut at one time using the same template. Keep templates for re-use.

Appliqué: Trace template patterns onto the plain GridGrip paper. Add seam allowance to all sides of template. For standard appliqué, press seam allowance over edge of paper and applique to foundation. After appliqué is sewn to foundation, slit the backside of the foundation fabric only and remove the GridGrip template. For needle turn appliqué, press templates onto the right side of the fabric.
