Notions

The products listed below are items that I use when I piece and machine quilt. I hope that you find them helpful to you.

click for larger view	Mark Be Gone This pen is water soluble and is my favorite marking tool. I use this marker to mark the grid lines for my Sashiko work and to make registration lines on the quilts (including my customer's quilts) that I work on. I have used this marker for years with no problems. It is a great fabric marker for lighter fabrics. The blue marks disappear with a light "spritz" of water from a spray bottle. $4.50 per marker
click for larger view	Chalk O Liner This is my favorite making tool. It looks like a tube of lipstick, but it makes a very fine line of chalk. I use the white chalk on dark fabrics (I replace the chalk with Miracle Chalk). This is a great way to mark fine line registration lines. $7.00

Click for larger view	Flying Geese Ruler by Marti Michell This is one of my favorite piecing tools and it makes wonderful half square triangles. There is a little more effort when cutting the triangles, but they sew together with no distortion. If sewn well, there is no trimming after sewing.

	Temporary Spray Baste by June Taylor I like to put a "shot" of spray adhesive between the quilt top and the batting along the border edges of the quilt. This holds the border edges of the quilt in place and I don't have to stitch down the raw edges of the sides of the quilt, eliminating the chance of pleats and puckers in the side borders. When using templates on the longarm machine, they have a tendency to slip slightly creating an uneven stitching line. I found that by applying a small amount of Quilt Basting Spray on the back (etched side) of the templates prevents this slippage. Due to postal regulations, this product is shipped separately via Parcel Post (ground delivery). Allow extra time for delivery. This product can be shipped to US addresses only. $16.95
Color #1908	Madeira High Sheen Polyester Thread 5,000 meter cone Neon for Basting I love this thread for basting. The bright neon pink color lets you know exactly where it is and the "slickness" of the thread makes for easy removal. Great for regular quilting too! $14.95
