I just purchased a new set of Easy Angle and Companion Angle Rulers for myself after giving away my original ones. I do recommend them as must haves for creating perfect HSTs and QSTs!
I recently bought the electric blade sharpener, love it,love it
Marg
The most recent notion I purchase was a pack or rotary blades. They are essential to cutting out a quilt and you really need a new blade with every project. Yes, everyone needs a new pack of rotary blades to have on hand.
Hmmm. I haven’t bought a notion real recently, but I did buy bamboo skewers for fruit kabobs and have been using one to guide my fabric through on the sewing machine, so I guess that’s it. It’s a handy little tool anyone could use.
I just purchased a new pack of Thimblepads, a small leather dot that you use as a thimble. They are sticky on one side and cover the center of your fingertip. They are wonderful AND reusable. I do a lot of stitchery blocks in my quilts and projects so I put one on my ‘thimble finger’ and also one on my under finger to protect it as well. I can use one for two weeks or more before I have to change to a new one, depending on how much stitching I do. I would recommend them to anyone who does hand sewing of any kind, especially binding your quilts. I don’t like thimbles, but these little sweeties are so comfy, I often forget I have them on.
The most recent quilting notion I purchased is an OLFA Frosted Advantage non-slip ruler. I have several of them, and absolutely LOVE them ALL! I use the 6″ x 12″the most, but would not want to do without the 6″ x 24″ either.
I recently purchased the Strip Stick at the AQS show-it will help with ironing seams and keep the straight-must have for all quilters doing strips for a quilt.
I really like the bindy thingy its a square that is notched to make miterd bindings better it works really well!
Three new purchases recently:
A big Olfa cutting mat (24 x 36) The old one was pretty beat up.
A 28mm rotary cutter, cuz I lost my other one
A 1/4 inch foot for an old Singer I recently became the owner of.
Oh, and Machingers gloves for quilting – LOVE them!
I recenlty purchased an embroidery machine so I had to buy stabilizer and thread. I’m having fun learning my new machine!!
I recently purchased an electric blade sharpener and it does work. I am really enjoying having a ‘new’ blade in my sharpener more often.
After working with a dull machine needle I purchased two packs of new ones, what a difference.
One needs to replace them often, it makes quite a difference especially with Kona fabric.
Binding clips – since when I’m binding I take a quilt to work to sew on during lunch time – no more pins to lose or poke myself with – why did it take me so long to try them!
Such a fun occasion…can’t wait to read the new book!
I am in love with the Clover binding clips…they are the tool that I use almost every day now and keep finding new ways to use them.
I just bought a new fabric marking pen, I use it for my hand quilting when the chalk lines start fading.
Such a great group of quilts I love this site and all it has to offer!!! Thanks for showing us a little quilt show each week!
The most recent quilting tools I purchased were the small and large wedge template from Missouri Star Quilt Company. They just arrived on Saturday so i have not had time to play with them but I am looking forward to making a scrappy quilt with them ASAP.
My most recent gadget is the Rapid Fire Lemoyne Star ruler from Deb Tucker. I’m using it a class this coming weekend, so I’m not yet sure if it’s a must have. It was kinda pricey so I hope it was really worth it.
!Me gustan mucho estos concursos,asi podemos ver trabajos de todo el mundo
The new click Frixion pens!
The small tumber template is my most recent purchase…I find it is great for making lapsize quilts for charity. The quilting group I am in makes them for local groups that need them – they are quick with the templates and easy to put together. Judy R from Buffalo
I just started using the Olfa Circle Cutter. I really like it. I starched my fabric before cutting and it cut very easily with no stretching.
The most recent tool purchase I made was a Add-A-Quarter ruler. I am doing a lot of foundation piecing right now, and I have found it to be a fantastic help in trimming the seams!! I love it!
My most recent purchase was Lisa Calle’s rulers for curved and straight crosshatching and piano keys! So easy to use and they make all the lines so perfectly.
Last summer I bought a bias tape maker to use in front of my iron. I am so thankful for it! I have used it on many many yards of bias binding for Little Dresses for Africa. I know it is not a new tool, but it is new to me.
The most recent tool I purchased was from Bonnie Hunter’s website…the quarter inch seam gager. In order to do precise work one must have precise tools…Now, that’s not saying my work is precise, with every point perfect and all my seams butting up just perfectly…but I try to be!
My newest favorites are a 9 1/2 inch template, and an 8 1/2 inch template. These make short work of squaring up blocks!
I purchased a new seam ripper, because, Duh, they wear out, too!
My most recent tool purchase was the Creative Grids 60-degree triangle ruler. I used it to cut out the pieces for the Bloom Bloom Pow quilt and it worked wonderfully! I can see that I’ll be using it more and more in the future and would definitely recommend it to others!
I think I have every notion known to man–well, almost! so don’t remember the last one purchased, but my favorites are the Creative Grid rulers. Am replacing my old yellow lined ones because they are hard to see!
What is the most recent quilting notion/tool that you’ve purchased and do you recommend it as a must-have for all quilters?
Quilter’s Quarter Marker. I think it’s essential for putting together hexagons or any Y-Seam! It makes it so much easier!
Wow I am a brand new convert to the Klutz glove after spilling my own blood twice recently following the purchase of very sharp rotary blades and a brand new pair of scissors. I am afraid it took those incidents to wake me up to the need of some protection whilst using sharp and quite dangerous tools. A need to stay focused and calm whilst using these tools was also recognised as both times I was in a bit of a hurry to get done.. not very productive in the long run!
I purchased an ottlite caddy. It has a wind up cord and a handle. You fold the lamp down and you can take it with you to class or from room to room. It is small but bright
My most recent notion purchase was a 6 1/2 inch square. I thought I had one, but I had all the other sizes just not 6 1/2. I find I am using that size a lot and it really helps.
I recently purchased a 10 degree wedge ruler. Haven’t had time to use it, but it sure looks like it will be fun. So many interesting designs that can be done with it.
I love the binding clips too. They are great for holding the binding down and many other things too.
A Cone Flower Thread Holder–functional AND beautiful!
I think the last thing I bought was a replacement blade for my rotary cutter. It didn’t seem terribly dull, but what a difference the new blade makes!
My most recent purchase was a 60 degree template to help in the cutting of triangles. I also purchased some origami templates to make it easier to do origami quilting.
My latest new tool is the CutRite Bind Up for fast and easy finish for binding with perfect mitred seams. Really cool!
I purchased a special ruler to trim HSTs and I don’t think it made my trimming any easier or more accurate.
I recently purchased a Pilot “Frixion” pen for marking fabric. The built-in eraser deftly does away with the markings when I make a mistake or when I finish the project.
I haven’t purchased anything in the last time. hugs
I just bought titanium rotary blades. I hear from other quilters that they last so much longer than regular ones. I started the countdown on the blade I just put in my rotary cutter.
Creative Grids Rulers – 3 1/2 x 12″ (makes circles also) and the 60 degree triangle. Love these rulers and they do not slip!!
Thank you for the sweet giveaway! I can’t wait to read this new book. I have enjoyed all in The Cobbled Court series and Marie’s other books as well.
My latest sewing notion was a little seam trimmer. It looks like a little mustache trimmer but was designed for quilters to take out unwanted seam threads. It works fairly well for the taking out seams but not so well for taking out machine quilted stitches which is what I was hoping for.
Also bought a Frixion pen but haven’t used it yet :-)
Hiya!!! The last purchase I made was a set of rulers that Wal-Mart has on clearance. Can never have too many rulers, and this one has the 6 & 1/2 inch square that I’ve been wanting. Thanks for having the giveaway. Blessed be, hugs!!!
Last tool purchased was dresdan template,love to win book!
A new “rippit”
The little red “Wonder Clips” by Clover are a must-have notion for your sewing room. These little clips are perfect for holding down a binding and having markings on them so your binding is the same size all the way around. They come in packs of 10 or 50. I only use about four at a time, but you can do the whole binding on a large project with the bigger bag if that’s what you prefer to do.
