Description

I’m excited to share the favorite quilting tools of my guests on A Quilter’s Life podcast from 2024.  I love how this list changes from year to year.  You’d think that they were sharing the new and improved tools that we all love to get our hands on.  But it seems we are all so thankful that we have some basic quilting tools that allow us to make our beautiful quilts.

 

  1. Computer Software - Design quilts

  2. Seam Guide - Seams So Easy by Lori Holt   You don’t have to draw the lines for half square triangles or flying geese.  It makes it easy.

  3. Needle - Brand new sharp applique needle.  Hand needles get dull also and it stitches like butter when it’s brand new.

  4. Oliso Iron 

  5. Thimble - Handmade leather thimble

  6. Seam Ripper - Seam Ripper to correct our mistakes

  7. Quilting Hoop - A Norwood frame that sits on a pedestal with a ball joint swivel

  8. Design Wall - Fons and Porter has grommets to hang it

  9. Scissors

    • Karen Kay Buckley little red handed scissors 

    • Karen K Buckley scissors for collage 

    • small scissors to get in small places




  10. Sewing Machine

    1. Juki to sew fast

    2. Quilting Machine

    3. Digital dual foot on sewing machine.  Has special censors and keeps everything neat




  11. Stiletto

    1. Stiletto it makes tricky piecing go so much better

    2. Stiletto helps grip fabric,  Been indispensable on art quilting.

    3. African porcupine quill stiletto  Not going to harm your machine like a metal or wood one might.




  12. Light box.

    1. Helps make pet portraits to get the colors and shapes right.  

    2. Also for paperpiecing.  

    3. When drawing patterns when making mosaics.

    4. Light desk to create nice applique patterns.




  13. Rulers

    1. Stripology Ruler -

      1.  Easy to make squares.  For instance you can lay it on the fabric and cut the size you want your square.  Then turn the fabric a quarter of a turn and lay the ruler on again and cut the same length again and you have perfect squares.

      2. Efficiency

      3.  to cut lots of small pieces especially 1 in squares




    2. Lock Bloc Ruler helps to make perfect half square triangles.

    3. Basic ruler and rotary cutter - With this simple tool the possibilities are endless.

    4. Cutting board - we compared that she used to use scissors and made templates from sandpaper

    5. Quilter Select Rulers - These rulers don’t slip or slide when cutting. 

    6. 2.5x6in ruler.

    7. 4”x10” ¼ inch ruler to use on longarm.

    8. Cricket that cuts fabric










I hope you have enjoyed another year of favorite tools.  I am looking forward to 2025 to hear more stories of the wonderful people behind all the beautiful quilts.  And I’m sure you are too!
