A new release for Applique lovers is the long-awaited, Piece O’ Cake approved, Essential Sandboard. Followers of Becky Goldsmith and Linda Jenkins (aka Piece O’ Cake design gals) know that their method of applique has always used a sandboard for stabilizing fabric as you trace the applique designs.
With the Essential Sandboard, you don’t have to wonder what grit, what size, what else can it do? From quilting to applique, stenciling and drawing lines for ½ square triangles – the Essential Sandboard is exactly that, essential!
As a bonus – there is a free, downloadable pattern available on PatternSpot.com! For those of you who may not know, we have a sister web-site called PatternSpot that is a downloadable marketplace for patterns of all kinds! From quilting, to garments, and embroidery to this wonderfully handy pouch – you can find it at PatternSpot!

That sandboard would be great! I would use it with my appliques. I do not like after drawing around an applique piece lifting the template only to see that the fabric under it has moved and there is a pucker. This is aggravating to say the least and with this sandboard these puckers would be eliminated for me. Thank you for the giveaway.
I love using a sandboard for applique – I have one but would love another to keep in my quilt group bag for on the go.
Great product – it would replace my 25 year homemade sand board!
I would love to have this to replace the one I use now. It is a piece of sandpaper glued to a manila folder. It is starting to pull away from the folder and curl up… :)
I have several projects I would use this for, especially to draw the lines for the HST I need.
Thanks for the chance to win!
I do lots of applique, or applique with piecing in my projects. Anything that makes a job easier is always welcome in my life.
I need to replace my 30-year old sandboard. I’d use it for applique, but also for hand-piecing with templates. Thanks for the offer.

I have heard of boards for tracing and applique, would love to try it.
I would use it for appliques and for marking my half square triangles.

I never heard of this product before. I hope I can find one in my place.
It does sound like a good way to draw those HST lines!
i have never seen anyting like this, it would be nice to have a try and found out more. it looks very useful.
This would be so marvellous for small appliqué pieces. Hope I am successful. thank you for all thenguveaways
I love the Piece O Cake applique method and the sand board seems to be perfect fit! Thank you for the great giveaway.
I would use this for quilts. thanks for the chance!
Having gone through multiple homemade sandboards, I would love to give this board a try. Thanks so much for the opportunity.
I would use this not only for applique, but for drawing around piecing templates.
Well next year I am starting a Michele Hill quilt that has heaps and heaps of applique and this product would be absoutely fantastic to have, so the sandboard would be great. Although I live in Australia been able to choose an ebook would be wonderful so thank you for the giveaway.
Becky and Linda have so many good ideas and good products. I would love to have this sandboard.
I got a Piece o’ Cake pattern for my birthday, so this would be perfect to help me make the appliques! Thanks for the chance!
I would use it to replace my home made sand paper board I use for drawing around applique shapes. Thanks for the chance to win!
This would replace my piece of sandpaper from my beginning quilt class 12 years ago.
This would be a big improvement over the pieces of sandpaper I currently use when marking sewing lines. What a wonderful idea!
My favorite thing is her Flutter FQ bundle–at least until the Julia Rothman typewriters and typing test fabrics arrive.
Whoops–please delete the above message (and this one, too) as I obviously hit the “previous” button before leaving a comment intended for another blog. Sorry for the mistakes; it’s time for me to turn off the computer and go to bed I guess.
This would be a wonderful addition to my applique box! One group I belong to hand pieces & hand quilts items to be auctioned every other year to raise money for medical research. Tracing templates would be so much easier using something like this! Thanks.
I’ve always wanted to try using sandboard but just never got around to it, so this would definitely inspire me to try it out.
thanks!
I love this newest product. I made one a bazillion years ago. It was glued to a vegetable cutting board. It did not glue too well so it was quite a job to wrangle the bumpy sandpaper and the material into the correct positions. Aggggg! How nice to know that there is such a smooth product. Thanks you two. =!=
looks like a very useful tool. i would use with applique prep.
I would use a sandboard for tracing the applique pieces for the Whimiscal Garden wall hanging I am making.
I would use it for hand applique, tracing quilting lines, outlines for painting on fabric, to sign a quilt block or to write out a label for the back of a quilt.
not sure how i’ll use it –
but who knows!
I do not appliqué much but would be trying more if I won.
I have a whole quilt top done- except the appliqué. This would be a great help. Thanks for the giveaway.
I love applique and I am currently working on a very detailed piece called Little Brown Bird. I have never used a sandboard before, but I have heard that it is something I need. I would love to give it a try and review it on my blog! thanks.
This would be great for writing on Fabric. what a great product
I’d definitely like to try the piece o cake sandboard. Please count me in.
But, I’m confused on your prior giveaway: It showed the Deadline to enter is 11/28/12, yet on 11/26 you announce a winner? http://www.ctpubblog.com/2012/11/21/new-release-wash-away-applique-on-a-roll-and-a-giveaway/ …

This board would be fantastic! I get all frustrated trying to keep things lined up and straight. Great idea! Especially for someone like me who is a rookie!
I would love a sandboard. Sometimes, I draw on fabric, and it could sure help me hold it in place. I could also use it to do a rubbing of a real leaf.
I can see what a big help this would be tracing applique templates!
I would love to try out the sandboard the next time I have to trace something for applique or embroidery. It sounds like the perfect stabilizer without leaving any residue on fabric. Thanks for the giveaway :)
I would love a chance to win your sandboard. I would use it when marking have square triangles and when I needed to mark on fabric. I like the way the backside of the board is a smooth white board that can be used as a writing table.
I do a lot of applique and would love this! Just never have gotten it.
wow!! this would be great to use with the quilt I want to work on. King size total applique. what a great tool that would be to work with.
I have heard that using sandpaper works out great for drawing around appliques and such. I have yet to try it. I would love to win one!!
I love to do appliqué and know I would enjoy using this board.
The expense of the piece could be very expensive.
