How cool is this? I can believe how convenient this will be when doing any kind of machine piecing! I sometimes like to take mindless machine piecing with me to quilt retreats when I need a bazillion of something for a quilt. This is really going to speed up the process of separating units.

Freezer Paper for Applique -

I run this through my printer for templates. It's the nicest I've found and always have it in my sewing room.
This is the thickest and the sturdiest freezer paper available. Extra thick sheets won't curl and are reusable. Specially formulated coating for temporary adhering to fabric. Use with ink jet printer to print patterns, shapes and templates. Use as stencils, prevents bleeding.

Susan Smith was inspired by one of my favorite antique quilts to create her Sweet William quilt. I'm thrilled to bring this talented Australian designer's wonderful pattern to you . The quilt has easy to piece baskets filled with a variety of applique blossoms. There are patterns for 36 blocks in this 67" quilt. The original quilt was circa 1860 from Pennsylvania.

Linda Collins - Templates for Hand & Machine Piecing 

You'll be reaching for these more than you can imagine. Making blocks with these templates is addictive! Use them for hand or machine piecing - scissors or rotary cutting. You won't want to be without these little gems. Each piece is labeled for easy reference.

 

Applique and Embroidery Scissors 

These are my newest applique and embroidery friend. Many of you had a difficult time locating the Elan scissors I used in my hand applique video so I searched high and low for something I like equally well. I ordered and tried scissors from no less than 6 manufacturers and am thrilled to tell you I found one I love, love, love.
