Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Midi Bag a paper pattern?
No. The Midi Bag uses printed interfacing rather than a traditional paper pattern. The sewing lines and grid are printed directly on the interfacing, allowing you to place your fabric and sew directly on the printed lines.
What is printed interfacing?
Printed interfacing is a lightweight sewing foundation with the pattern and sewing lines printed directly on it. Instead of transferring a pattern onto fabric, you use the printed interfacing to guide your piecing.
How does the Quiltsmart grid method work?
The printed grid shows you where to place your fabric and where to sew. You follow the printed lines, press as directed, and assemble the sections to create your finished bag.
Do I have to measure and mark all the sewing lines?
No. That's one of the advantages of the Quiltsmart method. The sewing lines are already printed on the interfacing, so you don't have to draw them yourself.
Is the Midi Bag good for beginners?
Yes. The printed grid provides a clear guide for piecing, making the Midi Bag a good project for someone who is new to patchwork as well as an easy option for experienced quilters.
What size is the finished Midi Bag?
The finished bag has an approximately 8-inch square bottom and is 12 inches high.
How is the Midi Bag different from the Mondo Bag?
The Midi Bag is a smaller version of the popular Mondo Bag. Both use the Quiltsmart method and easy grid-based construction, but the Midi Bag has a more compact finished size.
Is there a smaller version of the Midi Bag?
Yes. The Bitty Bag is the smallest member of the Mondo Bag family. It has an approximately 5.5-inch square bottom and is 9 inches high.
What fabrics can I use?
The Midi Bag gives you lots of room to play with your fabric choices. Try coordinated fabrics, scraps, or fabrics from a favorite collection. Precuts can also make fabric selection and cutting easier.
Can I make the Midi Bag as a gift?
Absolutely. A handmade patchwork bag makes a useful gift for birthdays, holidays, teachers, friends, family, or anyone who appreciates something made especially for them.
What should I buy if this is my first Midi Bag?
Choose the PACK. It includes the instructions and two interfacing panels to make two Midi Bags.
Can I buy just the interfacing?
