Andrew uses the grid interfacing in some of his quilting projects and we had a customer also come in and share the product with us on a project she was creating using one inch squares! We were amazed at how light the interfacing was, not bulky at all. This is from the company 10 Sisters. I ordered everything they sell…LOL Yes there is 10 sisters and 7 brothers and yes no twins I had to ask!
