Great Gift Ideas for Quilters

Some of our favorite 'nice-to-have's' in our quilting studios that make our quilting projects easier.

Karen Kay Buckley's Perfect Scissors, Medium 6-Inch Micro Serrated Blades

Yes, these really are the perfect scissors! Super sharp and perfect for cutting out applique, working on EPP or any other small hand projects.

Riley Blake Quilter's Tailor Wooden Clapper Tool Steam Iron Set a Seam Sewing Quilting (12")

Looking to get your seams pressed nice and flat? A clapper helps you do just that! Press your seam with lots of seam, lay the clapper on top and the seam stays nice and pressed! Pair the clapper with the wool mat below!

Panasonic 360 Ceramic Cordless Freestyle Metallic Red Iron

Did someone say cordless? Know how you are working on a project and need a little press. Now you don't need to go to the ironing board to give it a little zap - you can bring the iron to you! Just make sure you have a heat resistant base before you press.

17" x 24" Wool Ironing Mat - Wool Pressing Mat for Quilting - 100% New Zealand Wool Pressing Pad

Using a wool ironing pad when you are pressing keeps your fabric stable while you are pressing, and the pad retains heat for a professional pressing experience. Couple this with a clapper and your seams will be pressed beautifully!

Crafters Workshop TrueCut Non-Slip Ruler Grips, 30/Pkg

Do your rulers slip around when you are trying to get precise cuts with your rotary cutter? Add these non-slip grips to the back side of your rulers and they stay in place while you are cutting!

Magnetic Wrist Sewing Pincushion 

Keep your pins right with you with this magnetic wrist pincushion! No more fumbling around trying to hold something in place and trying to find your pin box - your pins are with you!

Clover Wonder Clips, 1 Pack, Assorted Colors

Wonder clips are perfect for so many quilting projects - from English Paper Piecing to holding groups of specially cut pieces together.

Omnigrid Rotating Mat Cutters & Accessories, 14", Green

Rotate the mat instead of repositioning your fabric while making multiple cuts on pieces. This improves accuracy of cuts and piecing.

3-Pack - Aurifil 50WT - Dove, Solid - Mako Cotton Thread - 1422Yds Each

Looking for the perfect thread for piecing? This is it! The light dove grey blends with most colors and prints.

Cutterpillar Glow Basic Light Board with Non Slip Self Healing Cutting Mat for Scrapbook and Craft Projects - 13" x 19"

Now you can cut directly on your light board. Perfect for paper piecing and appliqué projects. Place your pattern under the mat to see through your fabrics and trim your pieces with super accuracy.
