Five Stars: Sewing Tools

Bought for sewing faux chenille and I love it. I made some "cute" little blankets for my daughter using denim as a base and 3-4 layers of flannel. I started with a full size quilt for one of my sons, using quilted cotton as the base and 4 layers of flannel, but I've been working on this my whole life and may never finish! didn't work at all. Aside from the fact that it was ROYAL PAIN, when the swatch was washed it just looked like a wavy mess. So I went back to straight lines. I usually do 1/4 inch seams and then use a long guard to cut the fabric. You have to be careful and work slowly as it's easy to go a little over the line and even cut the seam. In general it's cool. a tool that produces amazing effects, but you have to be careful with it and there is a learning curve. Take your time and you will make it.

Pros
  • Sewing
Cons
