A tool for pressing seams – it’s that simple! No frills, no tricks, a simple little tool that gets the job done but can be used in a multitude of ways depending on the project. Made from hard, sturdy plastic it has a slanted end with a round indentation on the top to rest…
“A lightweight, soft, sew-in wadding made from bleached cotton with scrim, allowing an excellent combination of a soft hand feel and a lightweight construction while still providing significant stability and support. Especially developed for quilts and light coloured fabrics but is also very well suitable for lightweight but warm jackets and coats.” Sounds too…
Small and Mighty is the best way to describe this latest offering from Clover – the Hot Hemmer Square. Measuring 6″ x 6″ and made from nylon fibre board, it’s portable and does exactly what it says on the tin. The nylon fibre board allows the heat and/or steam from your iron to penetrate the…
When you think of ‘eco-friendly’, wadding may not be the first product that comes to mind however Vlieseline, in their continued commitment to sustainability, have introduced several products to their Eco-Friendly product range including R80 which I’ve been using in a few projects recently.

When it comes to wadding we all have a favourite and everyone has an opinion as to why theirs is the best, for some it’s the price, for others the brand or company that makes it, some go solely on the fibre mix – so many things to think about and consider. For me personally…
Although it is small (only 3″ high) it is mighty! I now have this guy permanently set up next to my machine, I do a lot of chain piecing and this cuts down the time (pun intended!) quite a lot. It’s very user friendly and easy to use, it has a standard 45mm rotary cutter…
HSTs are one of the most common units used to make quilt blocks or even whole quilts – like the one I’m currently pattern testing that has quite a lot of HSTs to make, so I though it an ideal opportunity to put the new Patchwork Triangle Ruler by Sew Easy through it’s paces. My…
