Oh man!! This video is one of those " Duh" moments (of course use elastic and not glue!). It takes a quilter who thinks outside the box to come up with this idea. Love it!!!!🧵 ✂
You are a genius!! I tried to make one with the gluing method what a mess. I like this idea so much I will use it and when I do I will be thanking the good Lord for someone like you.
I imagine this would also work with the heavy duty corrugated cardboard used in shipping boxes (such as the dozens we get from amazon every month), so that would save buying at least one of the required resources... Thanks for this video!
Thank you soooo much for this tutorial. I am just coming back to quilting after 20+ years. So much has changed, I have been looking at all these TH-cam channels, but luckily I stumbled on yours. I have come to realize yours is the best one for me. I subscribed immediately, And I keep discovering more and more practical advise. I also have arthritis in my fingers, hands, and wrists. You are a gem. And will make this endeavor much more enjoyable. Keep up the good work. God bless.
I love love this!! So smart! I just made 3 design boards by sewing through the foam board with a “Jeans” needle & on slow. But this is soooooo much better!!💕💕💕. Will be making some of these for sure!! Thanks!!! 😊
You knocked it out of the park!!! So so smart!!! I will definitely use one of these methods to make more design boards! I spent several hours 2 weeks ago using school glue to attach fabric to several design boards for my blocks and cross stitch. Thank You!!! 💕😂
So Timely! I actually made one of these last night, without seeing this video... was inspired by the Bitty Boards by Lori Holt... I used FoamBoard from D.Tree, cut 15x15 inches, covered in same size white flannel... then cut binding 2.5" and bound and SEWED the binding on to cover edges, the same as you would a quilt! You can sew right through FoamBoard no problem,....as it is essentially paper... just make sure you mark this needle as a craft needle, so you don't use it again, to sew your quilt project... so stinkin cute! I like your as well!
Perfect! I didn't want to use hot glue or fuss with mitered corners. I've been putting off making any for that reason. Also, these can be sewn assembly line and then put together. Win win 🎉. Thanks for sharing what your brain comes up with ❤
BRILLIANTLY DONE! I have to try this, my fingers win! Thank you for sharing this with us! So clever and creative. Just what we have learned to expect from you. Great demonstration and explanation. Have been wanting to try to make design boards. Have a nice day.☺️🍀✂️🪡❤️💡
Great job, Tracy. I sure wish I saw your method before I tried making several using hot glue. Some may have luck with that method but mine was such a mess I decided not to add the border and only glued down the batting.
I love this I am off to make a few of them and give one to each of my daughters I love this method because hot glue guns and I have a love-hate relationship
This is SO STINKIN' CUTE. I made one already but could a smaller one.L love watching your channel because what you show us is always simple and easy.BTW (by the way) I enjoy your thrift store visits too.I go at least once a week. ENOUGH ALREADY! Thank you.
If we are making quilts we have the skills to make these better. Sew that fabric like you would binding, connect at a diagonal. Then make a tube for the elastic to go in so the whole thing looks finished and not crappy.
I've made mine the other way, but I really like this method. Plus would be cute for gifts to those who either don't know about these or don't want to make them :)
This is great- I have a lot of 1/4" elastic left over from mask making, and I need some design boards- I will definitely try this out. Also, what great Christmas gifts for my quilty friends!💜
Oh wow, your method is great! I've made a few of the glue method and I am not a talented glue artist ... lol I will definitely be trying your methods! Thank you for this!!
I love this! I've been wanting to make the boards, but wasn't looking forward to hot gluing them. I'm not the best with elastic either, so drawstring it is! Thanks!!!
Wow! I don’t like using glue on my sewing projects and this project is what I’ve been looking for. Makes it pretty and practical because you can wash them if you need to. Also nice with rounded corners. Thank you for showing us.
@@TheSewingChannel I will post a picture after I get one one. Probably next week I’m working on a embroidery order now. That’s how I found your video 3:30 this morning. Lol
Thank you so very.much for this video. I tried the glue gun method and burned my fingers. It got messy too. Yuck! This is a much better method and can be washed since it is not permanent. Such a great idea!
No more glue for me - best idea I've seen today :)
Your idea is the best I’ve seen
This is genius. No more burning my fingertips with hot glue
It's definitely stinking cute. I love that there is no hot gluing involved! 😊
Oh man!! This video is one of those " Duh" moments (of course use elastic and not glue!). It takes a quilter who thinks outside the box to come up with this idea. Love it!!!!🧵 ✂
*_I totally get the "duh" moment LOL...absolutely elastic instead of glue LOL😂 Thank you for all your kind feedback Colleen....💜_*
Or hot glue, which is even more difficult!
I have an abundance of 3/8 “ elastic in my sewing supplies and not a design board in sight…that’s about to change 😮
You are a genius!! I tried to make one with the gluing method what a mess. I like this idea so much I will use it and when I do I will be thanking the good Lord for someone like you.
*_Glad it was helpful RoseAnn...thank you for such kind feedback too💛_*
Love this! I have a ton of felt in all colors from making dolls & stuffied. I will be making my design boards with felt. Thanks for this great idea!
I’ll be doing that this weekend. Fast and easy. Even for me as an intermediate beginner. 👍
I love the drawstring method and the way this can give me a hanger. THANK YOU!
❤LOVE❤ the design board and music 🎶 Tracey you are a creative genius 💜 thank you for sharing.
I like that drawstring method with the added bonus of built in hanger! Thanks, you have such a creative mind.
Thank you! 😊
This is a great idea. I am using the elastic method to cover a very large white board to make a design wall, well, half a wall lol
That is actually a great idea....I should do that so I don't have to use up clips✅
Oh yes, these boards are so "stinking cute"!!!! Thanks, Tracy!! HUUUUUGGGGSSS!!!!
*_Stinkin cute for sure Ginger! HUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGS back!!!🤓_*
I imagine this would also work with the heavy duty corrugated cardboard used in shipping boxes (such as the dozens we get from amazon every month), so that would save buying at least one of the required resources... Thanks for this video!
*_Great Idea...I think it would totally work!✅_*
I like that it’s washable. Might want to pre wash first so the shrinking is all done. Could also use white or black flannel. TFS! 🌷
*_Great idea about using black Susan ✅💡_*
Great idea. I like the elastic better than the drawstring. I'm into less work..lol!
Lol me too Anne! Work smarter not harder!!! 😂
I've made my own boards using glue, etc. I have all the supplies needed to make one, most likely a couple, using your method today!

Susan...Welcome to The Sewing Channel!!!💛 and Welcome Back to quilting💜 Thank you for supporting my channel...I appreciate it so much💛
Clever! Love the lack of glue!
Wow-thank you!! I was sew not looking forward to touching a hot glue gun again. AND you can interchange these! Definitely making a bunch of these! 💜🦋
I love love this!! So smart! I just made 3 design boards by sewing through the foam board with a “Jeans” needle & on slow. But this is soooooo much better!!💕💕💕. Will be making some of these for sure!! Thanks!!! 😊
I like the drawstring method the best; because, elastic dries out (becoming useless as elastic over tiime). Wonderful idea. Thank you for this video.
*_Your welcome Arvetta✅ Thanks for the useful feedback on the elastic✅_*
You knocked it out of the park!!! So so smart!!! I will definitely use one of these methods to make more design boards! I spent several hours 2 weeks ago using school glue to attach fabric to several design boards for my blocks and cross stitch. Thank You!!! 💕😂
*_This is a very quick/easy design board cover Veda-definitely won't take hours ✅keep me posted on how they turn out for you🤓_*

*_Thank you DH for letting us know we can sew on foam -YAY!_*
I love this idea. I also thought, they can be removed for a quick rinse. This would be a great method for a felt play board as well.
*_Wow Anna -great idea for a felt play board✅_*
Game changer. Would much rather sew the elastic than use hot glue and burn my fingers, as I always do. You’re a genius
*_Thank you so much for the kind feedback Joanne💛 No one likes to burn their fingers on hot glue for sure✅😂_*
I love love your tips,tricks and ideas !
Love this! Simple and fast.
Tried the glue method and was not happy with the results. Will definitely try your way! Thank you!
Wow, I love these!! Ingenious!! I have wanted to make some but I agree, the glue…..yuck. I am going to make these tomorrow, thank you!
They are really easy too Cheryl✅
What a brilliant idea. Sometimes keeping things simple work best. Now I have a way of using up pretty leftover jelly roll strips.
*_Thank you for the kind feedback Maureen💜 That's a great idea to use the leftover jelly roll strips💡_*
This is so stinking cute! Can't wait to make some.
OMG! I made 3 last week using glue. What a mess. I am definitely going to try these methods. Thank you!
Perfect! I didn't want to use hot glue or fuss with mitered corners. I've been putting off making any for that reason. Also, these can be sewn assembly line and then put together. Win win 🎉. Thanks for sharing what your brain comes up with ❤

Then make a tube for the elastic to go in so the whole thing looks finished and not crappy.
I am ready to make one. I'm glad I saw yours thanks!
Love it! I think it is cuter with the curved corners.
I agree✅
I've made mine the other way, but I really like this method. Plus would be cute for gifts to those who either don't know about these or don't want to make them :)
*_Thanks for the gift idea Marla✅_*

*_Laura....I had so much fun making mine💛I had lots of elastic that I picked up at the Goodwill so this was a good way to use it up!✅_*
This is great- I have a lot of 1/4" elastic left over from mask making, and I need some design boards- I will definitely try this out. Also, what great Christmas gifts for my quilty friends!💜

How very clever and cute!! I love how you even have a hanger with the drawstring version!!♥️
