    You are a star! I have been quilting for 25 years and usually do not find lists of quilting tools helpful as I have a great collection of my own… but you identified products I didn’t have and weren’t aware of! I have been ordering and then using the recommended tools with great success and enjoyment. Congratulations on a great video. ❤️

    I have both the Performance Icon that you are using here and the Creative Icon number 1. You say you can move the needle position one click left or right even with the single stitch face plate. Please tell me how to do that. On my machine that option gray's out and I can't do it. I'd like to use that function as you say to achieve a scant quarter inch.

    I used steam on fabric that was fused to my Pelon batting and it made my fabric come undone and it made pleats in it…never again. Maybe just for ironing out seams but I seem to have no problem with my squares laying flat.

    Cheaper DIYs…..You can make your own clapper by buying a small wooden chopping board and screwing a drawer handle on it 🤗 And I got my hubby to cut and sand me a strip stick from a half round stick bought from the homewares shop for a few dollars 🤗 And you can do the same thing as the binding presser with a couple of safety pins on your ironing board 🤗 I hadn’t seen that fabric relaxing pen iron tool tho, that’s interesting 🤗🤗 and rulers are one of my fetishes… hehe… I’m a sucker for buying ALLLLL the rulers even if half of them do the same thing!

    How do you get a wool mat that doesn’t smell like burnt hair any time you use steam on it. Mine stinks so bad I can’t bare to use it. Also buy a binding machine for $100, they are so cool. I’ve never been as successful using that mat with my iron though.

    • @quiltsaremypassion1270
      @quiltsaremypassion1270 2 года назад

      The wool mat I have on my ironing board doesn't smell. But, the small one did for a long time, like a wet dog. It's just something to expect with a wool mat since it's wool. I will look into a binding machine, that sounds like a good tool!

    Are you kidding? That spray is about $10 a can and you soak the fabric. Who can afford that when you can use about 6 cans a quilt.

    @lidabard2121 2 года назад

    Use an open toe foot and you will have better accuracy staying on the red line! If you skip the glue you can double sew the diagonal line half inch apart on the larger squares. After stitching cut in between the lines. You get extra half square triangles for another use.

  • @baseballquilter8984
    @baseballquilter8984 2 года назад

    I will try the Magic but, in a spray bottle. Aerosol is not good for the environment. Careful with the wool mats. I've seen others use them and depending on what type of face plate you have; the wool could damage your iron. Great video - thank you!
