Here is my hot glue version - ua-cam.com/video/t5ddbIzLsOE/v-deo.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
Love the mini board idea using the heat and bond 💕
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!!!!❤
Wowzer - how did I miss this 7 months ago?! Happy to find it now. Great idea using the HnBond! Thanks
super cute fabric
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.
Thank you for making Friday morning a great start to the day .. enjoy seeing all the new items .
Thank you Jo.
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.
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.
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 😉
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.
Great idea!
Fantastic! Thanks so much for the tutorial and the great tips!
Thank you for doing this mini I think it will work much better for me
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.
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.
Bravo! I thought that I was the only one with a glue gun problem! Many 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 👍🤩
Thanks
You’re welcome 🦩
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-thank you so much for the awesome tutorial I will save this so that I can go back and make me one!
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.
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.
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 😉
So much better than hot glue! Thanks for sharing
So much better.
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. 😉
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. 🦩
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...
Great method!! Thanks Robin, I love your tutorials...
Thank you Elizabeth. 🦩
Great job 👍
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.
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.
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! 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.
Awesome! Great instructions!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you 🦩
Thanks!
You’re very welcome 🦩
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. 🦩
best looking tutorial on this I've seen.
Thank you so much 🦩
Thank you SEW MUCH for this tutorial! I made one with glue yesterday and really did burn my index finger. This second one with the heat and bond came out so much better. I literally went to JoAnns just to buy some today 🙂so I could try it.
You’re very welcome. I really like this version so much better. Even I was able to make my first try look good. My hot glue ones were always messy, crooked, and chunky where the ends met. Now you can make as many design boards as you’d like.
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.
Really well demonstrated and explained, thank you so much ❤
You’re welcome. 🦩
Very clever. Thank you for the tip.
Glad it was helpful!
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.
This is great !! Thank you for sharing with us 😊💖
Thank you 🦩
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.
Game changer!!
Definitely.
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.
I love it.
🦩
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 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.
Great alternative method for making a mini.
It’s nice to have options. 🦩
Thanks.
You’re welcome 🦩
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 😉
Can’t wait to try this out!!! 💕💕💕
It was so stress free. The board I made in this tutorial was my first try. It was super easy.
I like this method so much better. TFS
You’re very welcome.
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.
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
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 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.
Brilliant! Thank you!
You’re very welcome. 🦩
That was fun as usual. I love the mini design boards.
Thank you
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.
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.
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.
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. ✂️
Great idea! Thanks for your excellent tutorial. Think I’ll like it much better than the hot glue I used on the first ones I made. At one point I needed a bunch more in a hurry and just put the batting on, being careful at the edges, and used them without the binding. It worked just fine.
The fabric around the edges adds some color to the design boards but as you found out it’s not completely necessary. If the batting pulls away then you just glue it back down 🤷♀️.
Can’t wait to make some!❤
They were fun to make and very useful.
Thats awesome!
I thought It was a brilliant idea. Huge thanks to the original UA-cam video.
Thank you, Robin, this is so helpful. I tried following Lori Holt's suggestions for using fabric and glue on my boards and just quit, it was so fiddly for me. This is much easier and prettier too!
You’re very welcome. I struggled with the glue too. I never could get It to lie flat or look nice.
Great video. I plan to make my boards with your method! Thank you so much❣️
You are so welcome!
I love this method. We made some using the pretty duct tape but this version is nicer. Thank you.
I bought some fun duct tape but never ended up trying It.
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.
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.
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.
I like your method!
Thanks
This is really cute.
Thanks! They’re more helpful than I originally thought.
This is FANTASTIC!! I was planning on making some boards, but I hate hot glue. This is great!! I'm going to use basting spray on underneath the batting. Thanks for this great tutorial!
Basting spray is a great idea. As I use my
boards the loose batting has started to bug me.
Good job 👍🏻
Thanks 🦩
Great video 🌻
Thank you
Thank you, I like this method. Nice job 🌹
Thank you 🦩
Thanks for the video....great way to do this!
💜
Thanks for sharing. I like the look much better than the hot glue .
You’re very welcome. I agree. It’s much smoother.
Hello, Robin! Great tutorial!This video just popped up in my recommended list. I’m now subscribed and am looking forward to exploring your past videos.

WELCOME Pat!! I’m so glad you found us. I hope you find a video or two that you enjoy. Thank you for subscribing. 🦩
So easy
i made these like demonstrated and they turned out so nice, look much better than my glue ones!! thanks!
That's great! After my glued version I was a bit hesitant but my first ones turned out great too. Happy quilting!!
Sew mini great ideas on your channel! Thank you for the tutorial.
Thanks 🌺
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.
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.
Wow! What a great solution. I’ve avoided making these because hot glue is such a pain for these awkward and small areas.
The hot glue version was stressful. You can’t wait with hot glue.
Thank you for this video. I found it to be very helpful.
Thank you 🦩
Thanks for the handy dandy video!
You’re very welcome 🦩
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.
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! ✂️🦩
Great technique. Like yours better then the last five demos.
Wow, thanks!
Good tips. Thank you for the video 😊👍💕
Thank you 🦩
Definitely ordering the heat and bond!
Makes life so much easier. Especially if you need to make more than one.
Thank you. Much easier.
You're 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.
