Members K-Man Posted November 18, 2011 Members Report Posted November 18, 2011 Can anyone provide insight on how to do the tooled quilt pattern like you see on notebooks, etc.? Thanks for your help. Quote
Contributing Member BillB Posted November 18, 2011 Contributing Member Report Posted November 18, 2011 K-Man - Have you looked at Tandy Geometric tools G536, G538 and G548? There are several others that can be used to create square patterns and used like a basket weave to fill large areas. Is this what you were referring to? The Tandy store had free handouts on how to use these as other stamps to create fill patterns. BillB Quote Bill B. Nead
Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted November 18, 2011 Contributing Member Report Posted November 18, 2011 Or are you referring to the pattern made by cutting intersecting lines with a swivel knife and punching all the intersections with a seeder? It makes the surface look like an old style couch or chair, with pleats and little buttons holding everything down. For 3D, you just need to bevel one or both sides of the cut lines.

Members K-Man Posted November 18, 2011 Author Members Report Posted November 18, 2011 Bill: Thanks for that info. I do have that Tandy handout. TO: Thanks - that's what I was looking for. I tried the beveling of both sides of the cut line and it just didn't look right. I'll try one side. Quote

BearMan Posted November 18, 2011 Report Posted November 18, 2011 Hi Everybody, Is this something like we're looking for? If so, the way I do it is,,, I just mark the lines with a stylus, & then use a double beveler,,, without cutting the line first. After that I place a med. single seed at each of the intersections, & then add the #834, making sure that the lines are going from the corners in. Not to say that it's the best way to do it,,, it's just my way. Hope it helps,,, Ed Opps,,, forgot the picture,,, Quote Ed the"BearMan" polarb1717@aol.com Beary: BearMauls@yahoo.com http://tinyurl.com/BearMauls "The Best tooling mauls available today!"

rickybobby Posted November 19, 2011 Report Posted November 19, 2011 Thanks for the picture/info. Where do I find a double beveler? Hey K-man, I have done some of these "quilted" patterns on some projects and used the Craft tool B997 beveler on the lines. I have not checked to see if Tandy still sells them. If you need a picture of it I can take one and post it. Hope this helps, Rick Quote Rick
