Brimming Over with Quilting Essentials
|
|
|
We've been re-stocking the classic Liberty Wiltshire Shadow fabrics. Made from Lasenby cotton, they are fantastic blenders and work well with many fabrics, not just with Liberty ranges.
|
Wool pressing mats are available in different sizes & just so handy to have next to you, so you can press fabrics as you sew, without having to constantly go to the ironing board. They don't take up much room if you want to take them to your sewing group or class.
|
Sewline Pencils & Glue Pens & Refills are essentials for any stitcher. The Sewline Pencils are propelling pencils & come with extra leads which are also sold separately & are available in different colours. This is handy when you need the right colour to show up on light or dark fabrics. They're easily erasable with a damp cloth or the eraser on the end of the pencil.
|
Sewline Glue Pens come with a re-fill with extra re-fills available to purchase. The glue goes on coloured and dries clear which allows you to see what you're glueing. These are the perfect tool for English Paper Piecing & applique.
|
Mary Ellen's Best Press is a clear starch and sizing alternative. A clear, crisp ironing spray available in three flavours: Linen, Lavender or Scent Free. They make ironing easier & makes those stubborn folds in the fabric vanish when you use this spray, without stiffening the fabric.

Alexander & Sophie Bag kits is like stitching by numbers & is a great way of using up left-over Jelly Roll Strips, alternatively you can cut your own.
We think they'd look lovely in some of the new Japanese fabrics!
