Here is my hot glue version - czcams.com/video/t5ddbIzLsOE/video.html
There are so many decorative rolls of Duct tape out there. I use that as the "binding" for my design boards.
Yes there are. I actually bought a couple rolls of shiny metallic duct tape but then I learned about this technique. Plenty of options for everyone.
Does the duct tape stay securely attached to the batting?
@@susanmei9980 I haven't had any problems at all with duct tape. It's really sticky.
@@kathygist6488 thank you for responding. I will try that! 😊
I use duct tape too
Yes!! This is so much better, I can't wait... no hot glue, and no stitching. win-win-win!
I think it’s much better too. Super easy and clean.
I use decorative duck tape on the sides of my design boards. Easy Peasy!
I did buy fun duct tape to try but then I heard about this. I never did try the duct tape. 😂
I took an even easier cheaper route lol. I use the foam board and batting but taped each side with painters tape or any tape I had. They work great;) If you use the pretty design tape it would look just as pretty as binding fabric;)
After the hot glue mess I was going to use some fun duct tape from the dollar tree. Then I came across this version. I think using the tape is a great idea.
I love the idea of using glue stick lines to hold down the batting! I made my batting layer stick by spraying the board with spray adhesive first and layering on the batting. Just another option.
Spray adhesive is a great idea.
I watched your video today and just happened to have the materials to make a design board per these instructions. One thing that helped me center my seem on the edge of the design board was to use a STRAIGHT pin with a top, and push the pin into the edge of the board so my binding was centered. It did not move when i pressed the binding down. I like to add a bit of embroidery thread to the front of the design boards. I use a buttonhole stitch. Obviously, you should remove the staight pins once your binding is secured. Thank you for this tutorial!
I love a simple and useful tip. Thank you for sharing your tip!
Wowzer - how did I miss this 7 months ago?! Happy to find it now. Great idea using the HnBond! Thanks
I used the Ultra Hold too! Instead of turning the ends over, I used my Pinking Shears to trim the ends and applied a few drops of Fray Stop. So the mitered corners would hold better I used a drop of elmers glue all and ironed to dry the glue.
The ultra hold method was so easy that I made 6 Mini 5 x 5, 4- 10 x 10, and 4- 15 x 15. They are holding up very well.
Pinking shears is a great idea. You’ve been very busy.
Terri - what a great idea - using Pinking shears. I finally bought a pair last year (for something - can’t remember😄😄). And I, too thought a drop,or two of Elmer’s at the mitered corners would be good. I need to hit JoAnn’s for the Ultra Hold and the Fray Stop!!! Great hints.
@@sandybruce9092 Oh. Fantastic. Happy block design board making!!
The Ultra Hold is built in Fray Stop
Great subjection 👍🤩
Excellent tutorial - I will have more comfort using this method rather then the hot glue! As always you explain the steps in simple terms and show us at the same time - it makes following the steps easy 🙂. Thank you for all you do!
Thank you Karen. 🦩
Thanks for sharing this method. I have several design boards to finish and didn't particularly care for the hot glue method as it was messy. Certainly going to try this! Much neater looking. I love using design boards - they have made such a difference in my cutting and organizing of fabric for piecing. A small thing, but so helpful!
I found this method so much better. Quicker. Cleaner. Less painful. 😉. If preparing several blocks at once for a quilt a stack of design boards would be very helpful.
Wow. I thought I was the only one who struggled with making design boards with hot glue! I burned myself badly and the glue cooled on me before I could maneuver the binding!. Left bumps! So thank you for your video! Yipppeee
You’re not alone. Not only is hot glue hard to work with but the finished results aren’t always the cleanest. It’s nice to have options.
Thanks Robin. Mini design board would be a great gift.
Yes! They would be fun for kids too. They can play with felt letters and shapes. Or your scrappy squares. Get them starter early 😉
Fantastic! Thanks so much for the tutorial and the great tips!
Thank you so much! I just made two boards and they turned out great! I was tempted to buy a couple of boards because I hate working with a hot glue gun. This was a wonderful solution. Thank you to your listener who made the suggestion, too.
I’m glad It worked out well for you. I like that I can make any size I need and that it’s a simple project with no messy glue or weird bumps. ✂️
This is so much easier than the hot glue method , where I ended up with glued fingers and a not satisfactory end result.!! Thank you for sharing it.
I always manage to glue my fingers 🤣
Love the mini board idea using the heat and bond 💕
super cute fabric
This is Great timing! I have seen these boards before. But never made them. THIS IS MY YEAR TO REALLY SEW/ QUILT...❤ I thought this will be my First Project of the year, ( for the year of the Rabbit). I love Chinese foods and this year is my Aminal
for their horoscope. That means Good Luck, doesn't it. ha,ha. Great year to make and get it done.
Awesome!! Having a handful of design boards will be helpful for your year of sewing.
FYI You can buy the board that has sticky on one side to adhere the flannel or batting to makes it a lot more stable. Great tutorial
Great idea! Thank you
I used the ultra hold without realizing it, for appliqués on a quilt. I did not like the effect of the stiffness in the quilt but after sewing down the appliques there was no residue from the glue on my needle. Just an fyi...
Loved the tour Robin! You’re doing a great job getting settled in and organized.
Thanks Kathy! I’m trying to not pressure myself too much with unpacking. Sewing is much more fun 😉
I am going try to use the Ultra Hold to hold on the batting on first. I am also going to join the ends like binding, on a 45 degree only just using the Ultra hold. I will turn over about 3/8 in. and tuck in the end and press in place. That Ultra Hold is great for wall hangings that are only used a few times & then are outdated. Great no sew project for anyone! Thank you for a great video.
I am glad I ran up on U doing this design board. Thanks
You’re welcome. I’m glad you found me too. This was a game changer. So much easier and neater compared to the hot glue method.
Mini-thank you so much for the awesome tutorial I will save this so that I can go back and make me one!
Thank you for doing this mini I think it will work much better for me
Very clever. Thank you for the tip.
Glad it was helpful!
I have to say, I love this new version of your mini project boards! I try to stay away from hot glue as much as I can!!!! Thanks for your thorough explanations!!!!❤
Awesome! Great instructions!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you 🦩
So much better!!! Thanks for sharing.
I agree. The hot glue version was stressful. I could easily make a stack of this version and actually enjoy It.
I think you should make you self "mini" more of these. Have a great weekend.
🤣🤣🤣. Love It! You win a fabric postcard for that comment. Please send me
Your mailing address.
I like this method much better than hot glue!
The results are much cleaner.
I love the idea of using the ultra hold waaaayyyy more than the hot glue! ❤ I am going to have to make a few sizes but I love your Mini board! 👍🏻😜 I have a mini iron too! I find it very useful and I agree....It definitely gets a lot hotter than my regular iron. ~ Mini thanks for this video Robin!❤
Thanks. Glad to hear it’s not just me. I’m very respectful of that mini iron. 😉
This is fantasic. I think I am going to redo my board. I used a wide ribbion instead of binding.
A wide ribbon would be super easy and pretty.
I love the idea of using ribbon as I have a stash from making hairbows and pillowcase style dresses. Easier than making binding as well. Thank you for the great idea!
Great method!! Thanks Robin, I love your tutorials...
Thank you Elizabeth. 🦩
Bravo! I thought that I was the only one with a glue gun problem! Many thanks!
Thank you for making Friday morning a great start to the day .. enjoy seeing all the new items .
Thank you Jo.
Omg i just made 9 boards last night and i see your video this morning I'm so mad ugh lol. The hot glue sucked I burned my fingers too and it ooozed out of my fabric so some boards aren't as neat lol. Now I will make more using the hb ultra hold. Thank you so much for your tutorial.
Oh no. I’m glad you found my video even if a day late. You might be able to peel off the hot glue version and save the boards.
best looking tutorial on this I've seen.
Thank you so much 🦩
Very nicely done. I like this version of your design board. Does not need to be a mini style could be as large as one needs it. 😉
Great idea, Robin. Very well explained. I think I need one of those mini irons! Thanks.
The mini iron is useful in many ways. I use mine for appliqué a lot. Keeps the good iron clean.
Loved this method. Will definitely do this method for future boards. Thank you.
Hi Patricia. This method was so much simpler and It was a better looking board too. Happy Quilting.
Mini board very neat.
Thank you so much for this information. He went over everything, nice and slow, and it was easy to understand!
You’re very welcome.
Mini is one of my favorite words! Most of what I make is mini! Bigger is not always better! :)
Exactly!! King size quilt?? Mini wall hanging?? Mini wins every time. It means I can make so many more mini quilts for the same amount of time and materials. I know you love to work on smaller projects.
This is great !! Thank you for sharing with us 😊💖
Thank you 🦩
Much better way than with glue! One suggestion: leave an inch or more free at the beginning if you are starting with a selvage edge. When you join the two edges, cut the binding to slightly overlap, but finish with the selvage edge on top. Of course this will only truly work if at least one selvage has the print or weave all the way to at least one edge. This will eliminate any need to fold over an edge. You can also eliminate bulk by trimming at an angle the folded back sides at the starting edge before applying the ultrabond.
Excellent tip. I like the idea of using the selvage. Thank you 🦩
Maybe with me too complicated - thanks anyway
I always have many quilt projects going at once so I love making these-I have some from Lori Holt and now I can use leftover fabrics!! Thanks Robin!!💗💗💗
So glad I saw your suggestion! I just finished two boards, and using the selvage end as is worked great! The join was so much flatter than turning it under.
Hi Robin,
Just seen your design board video. What a good idea. I finished my Chrissy tree ornaments and a little basket to put my throw away bits in. Next I want to start some of your string bits. I'm new to all this and really enjoying doing them.
I have a very dear friend in South Carolina that I call my sister as I haven't got one. We've known each other since 1996 when we took part in a teacher exchange. First time I'd flown on my own. We have 'crossed the pond' many times since then. The last time she came over was for our daughter's wedding in 2019. Our son did an exchange year in NC before he went to university and had a great year. Our daughter went to Florida on an exchange with the school county band and played in a concert at Disney World. My husband used to go to the US with his work. We had a wonderful time every time we came over and we visited lots of places east to west. Long may you continue your videos.
Jenny
Really well demonstrated and explained, thank you so much ❤
You’re welcome. 🦩
Great idea!
Much nicer then the hot glue method, thank you!
I agree. I’ve noticed that the no glue method still looks nice after weeks or months of use. My hot glue ones just seem “dirty” or messy.
Great job 👍
Thank u so much for this method! I made one today and they are so perfect. They have adhesive backed foam core boards now so I didn't need the glue stick...just take the paper off the board and the batting sticks to the board...no fuss no mess. Really luv the heat and bond...first time I saw this method!
You are so welcome! I love that there’s sticky foam boards now. That makes It even easier. Thank you for sharing.
I like your method!
Thanks
Great tutorial and no hot glue but a mini iron....yea
Thanks. Any excuse to use a mini iron 😉
Sew mini great ideas on your channel! Thank you for the tutorial.

WELCOME Pat!! I’m so glad you found us. I hope you find a video or two that you enjoy. Thank you for subscribing. 🦩
Mini = this process is a lot more efficient and more kind to your fingers Thank you Robin Sincerely Your Friend Lynne
Much kinder on my fingers.
I so glad to be watching your video! I had a very busy day and I want you to know that I enjoy your channel's content. I hope you have a fabulous week ahead! Thank you for posting!
Thank you. 🦩
Oh my, I have the ultra hold and was wondering what to do with it. Now, I know. Thanks for doing this tutorial. Now to collect all of the supplies!
It sounds like many of us have the ultra hold in our stash but we don’t use. This is a good project to use up some of It.
Good tips. Thank you for the video 😊👍💕
Thank you 🦩
I like that you used Elmers glue stick. I did do that when I made my design board. However I did sew my binding on. I’m sure your method is great also. Thank you for all the little tips!
I’ve seen a video where someone sewed their binding on. Looks great. Whatever works right? ✂️✂️✂️
Thank you, I like this method. Nice job 🌹
Thank you 🦩
Wow Robin! Thanks SO much for this video. I'm glad I came across it before I whipped out my glue gun. This is WAY more easier and less messy. You're awesome!
Thanks Patty. I had decided to never make another design board after the hot glue version. Now I don’t mind making more in different sizes.
So much better than hot glue! Thanks for sharing
So much better.
Thank you for this video. I found it to be very helpful.
Thank you 🦩
Thanks for this method. I dislike hot glue. Tried this method and now I’ve finished FOUR boards! Fantastic! Thank you
Woohoo!! This method is cleaner but beyond that it’s so much quicker and easier.
That was fun as usual. I love the mini design boards.
Thank you
Thanks for the video....great way to do this!
💜
Thank you. I will try to make this. Your very good at teaching. I've always wanted to have one. You are so nice.
Thank you Jenny. You’re very sweet. Once you make one you might not be able to stop.
Great! thank you Robin- , details and how to use Heat and Bond Ultra made a difference- and the details you are watching out on Heat Ultra is so helpful! Wonderful tutorial on how to make this design board was Great!! YES BEST EVER! Sandi Myer❤️
You are welcome! Im glad It was helpful. The heat n bond ultra gives the design boards a much smoother and neater look.
I just made one but used corrugated cardboard since I had a lot of packages arrive over the holidays. The process worked very well, but since the cardboard is thinner than the foam core, I didn’t iron along the edge first. I ironed a little on the back and then the same area on the front. Worked great! The cardboard wasn’t white, so the board has a darker look since the brown shows through a bit. I love this method because it is exactly how I bind my quilts. No new skill set to learn! Thank you!
I’ve heard from a few people that they successfully used amazon boxes or other cardboard boxes. Great way to recycle.
Great video. I plan to make my boards with your method! Thank you so much❣️
You are so welcome!
I actually made one of these today BEFORE I saw your video, I used the hot glue, I’m terrible at hot gluing! I wasn’t really happy with how it turned out so when I make another one I will DEFINITELY be using this method! Thank you!!
I have two small boards that I use regularly. One made with hot glue and one with the fusible. I can tell the difference every time I pull them out. The fusible one is so much neater and smoother.
OH MY GOSH🤭. A friend and I started to make a design board w/hot glue😬! About a fourth of the way into project I started to take pictures of the project (A STICKY HOT MESS}🙃! However we did LAUGH a lot😈. Next I tried liquid glue in a tube, 😂🤣! With that lumpy mess we decided that we didn’t really need Design Boards😢. Came across this method by accident👏! Tomorrow I will surprise my friend w/design board that doesn’t look
sticky or lumpy and that can actually be used🎉. Thanks for sharing. M🍀
It’s fun to craft with a friend. Especially when you can laugh together.
Thanks.
You’re welcome 🦩
Going to get the ultra hold right now!!!! Thank you so much. I love the idea of these boards and have a thrift store flannel sheet and a bunch of various sized of squares cut from Amazon boxes I collected. I don’t order that much but I know a shopaholic...
Amazon is very good at supplying us with nice sized boxes.
Good show
Thanks!
I like this method so much better. TFS
You’re very welcome.
Love this idea over the hot glue. You are correct the lumps drove me nuts and the burning myself well... ya... Thank you for sharing I will be making alot more now.
It’s those little things that bother me. This version is nice and smooth.
Game changer!!
Definitely.
Great video! Thanks for sharing this technique. I like it much better then the hot glue method. Happy Sewing!!
You are so welcome! Have fun! ✂️🦩
I love a good BLT
Yum 🥓🥓🥓
Yes, I have purchased the boards online and they are really cute - but are expensive. I have a written how-to for those boards but I’m not great with the glue gun either - plus,I was thinking it would make a nice program for my smaller quilt guild. I just happened onto this video this afternoon and I’m totally sold on this process!!!! So I’ll be adding the foam core and Ultra Hold Heat&Bond to my shopping list. I’d like to make several sizes, especially a larger one as I do like larger blocks and I also do hand appliqué with larger blocks so would work for piecing and appliqué. Thanks so much, Fabuulous video.👍👍👍👍
Thank you. I’d like to make some larger ones for my tote bags. Medium for zipper pouches. I don’t make many large multi block quilts but I do enjoy making mini quilts. It’s nice to have all of the pieces in one place.
I just made a few of these with hot glue...and am so glad to find your alternative!
I’m not usually very particular but I just didn’t like the hot glue version. Mine came out too bulky and lumpy. Not to mention the burnt fingers 😉
I love it.
🦩
Great technique. Like yours better then the last five demos.
Wow, thanks!
Great tutorial. I had a hard time with the glue gone too. Thank you
Thank you. Glue guns may appear simple but that’s not always true.
And it will be a chance to break in my mini iron! I haven’t taken it out of the packaging yet. It will be a lot easier than holding Rowenta iron up! Thank you again. I’m so excited I’m off for three days and I’m going to catch up on a ton of your videos!
Sounds like you’re going to have a nice three days. A new iron, crafting, and crafty videos. Sounds like fun to me.
Thanks for sharing. I like the look much better than the hot glue .
You’re very welcome. I agree. It’s much smoother.
Robin, this is wonderful and so easy and neat. I didn't like the hot glue method and this is a very efficient way to make up some design boards thanks for passing it on.
Diane I was so happy to see how neat this process is. Plus it’s easier in my opinion. The lumpy hot glue boards were the reason I stopped making them.
This is great! I had the same problem with the hot glue. My first boards look awful! Thank you for sharing this!
I think we all can agree that the hot glue version was a bit of a mess.
Hey, Robin...that came out really well. I used a tiny slip of Steam a Seam 2 on the corners and it worked like a charm. Another great visit with you.
Thanks Janet. Great idea. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the handy dandy video!
You’re very welcome 🦩
Great Idea 💡👍🏻 thank you for sharing this with us 🎉😊🧵🪡✂️❤️
You are so welcome!
Great video 🌻
Thank you
I tried making theses design boards with hot glue and then your way with the heat and bond. The glue gun one was a mess, what a fiasco. So much better with the heat and bond. Still like zigzagging the center before applying heat and bond so I know where center is and can have even borders. Much better results with heat and bond.thank you.
You’re very welcome. Adding the zigzag is a great tip. I like It to be centered too.
This is really cute.
Thanks! They’re more helpful than I originally thought.
Good job 👍🏻
Thanks 🦩
Great alternative method for making a mini.
It’s nice to have options. 🦩
Robin, thank you, thank you, thank you and again THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting this video! I created two quilt design boards with foam boards and flannel. I used fabric adhesive, but it turned out to be a hot mess around the edges of both foam boards. Even after I applied an ample amount of fabric adhesive to bond the flannel to the foam board, the flannel kept loosening and peeling off the edges of the foam board! This was so frustrating! I almost used up an entire can of very expensive fabric adhesive with very poor results! Your method is very simple, easy...and way cheaper! I am definitely going to try your method! I'm on my way to Walmart to get the Heat-N-Bond product and glue stick from Dollar Tree! Thanks, again.❤
I can picture your frustration. I’m glad you found my video. I didn’t think I’d use a design board but even when I’m making things other than a quilt I use mine often. I might even make a few more. Happy sewing!!
