Appliquick Gets 5-Stars!!

While wandering around the International Quilt Festival in Houston, Linda and I came upon the booth for “Appliquick”.

As I stood and watched the demonstration of how to use the tools to prepare applique pieces, I was truly intrigued!!

This video is my first try with the tools and I gotta say that I LOVE THEM!!

Yes, my circles need some work, but the other two pieces were as close to perfect as I have ever seen.

Now I am super excited to pull out the applique quilt that I have been longing to make and get started preparing the pieces.

Don’t you love it when a tool works even better than you expected?

Quilters Preview Paper

I have had a roll of Quilters Preview Paper……

….in my studio for over a year but hadn’t tried it before.

As I was planning quilting for the Fabric Challenge, I decided that it was time to test it out.

Here are my results…..

I found the product to be easy to use and particularly helpful in planning these quilting designs.

It is DEFINITELY something that I will make use of in the future!!

Pesky Screw Removal….solved

Last Monday was “Sewing Machine Cleaning Day”….both of them!!

I first pulled out the bobbin and discovered that it had JUST run out of thread…..

I call that LUCKY!!!

But as I started to remove the screws it became obvious that I didn’t have the best tool for the job…..

enter the Right Angle screwdriver……

Check out this video to see how easy it is to use…..

I was SO happy to find this tool and it made cleaning both of my machines so much easier.

I hope that it helps you too!!!
