First and foremost, I would like to thank Clover and the United Kingdom Quilters United – https://ukqu.co.uk/- website for allowing me the honor of product testing the Clover Tassel Maker, small size. I am not normally a tassel person so anything with tassels would normally be a no go for me. However, just before Christmas…
