A GREAT FIND


This is a great "reference tool" to have around.
I found this book a couple of months ago.
It has become a handy resource to have around.
It answers many questions.... and the layout is
simple and easy to follow.
It has charts for cutting half and quarter-square triangles.
for example: if you want your half square triangle to be 5 inches... instead of doing the math
refer to the chart and you know that you need to cut your square 5 7/8.
It has yardage for bindings, borders, quilt backing and many more.
It can be ordered from their website:
www.ctpub.com
They also have it available as an e-book
Which can be downloaded as a pdf and you can start reading it instantly.
Its a great find!

Have a great day.

Sewing Tools

Hello Friends...Welcome to Sewing Tools
The Slice Fabrique

It's always a great day when a quilting magazine arrives in the mail. I just smile from ear to ear knowing I am going to have a few minutes of my time no matter what is going on. Just a quick browse will suffice until I can really dive into the magizine. "Fons & Porter's Love of Quilting " did that for me this week. I found a new gadget that caught my eye.

The Slice allows you to cut fusible applique pieces in no time using the portable, lightweight Slice Fabrique. It's easy to use-just insert a design card, select a shape, and press a button! Design cards include more than one hundred designs that can be adjusted to four sizes. Each design card includes the alphabet and numbers, and assorted theme shapes such as music and dance, farm life, holiday, jungle, and more.

You can also see video demonstrations on Home Decor, Scrap booking, Cards and many more ideas. It's a wonderful tool that can be used for Scrap booking and Quilts! We want one!

Don't forget to enter our Handmade Mary Engelbrite Reversible BAG and Marie Osmond's Heartfelt Sewing Book for Home and Family GIVEAWAY going on until Monday!
