Quilting Adventure
A list of items that I own and my personal wish list for my quilting journey.
A good budget friendly quilting / sewing iron. I like that it's lightweight. The water tank is easy to fill but you do get occasional leakage.
A good budget friendly quilting / sewing iron. It heats up quickly. I've used it for a couple of months now and I haven't experience leakage.
A cute mini quilting iron. It has got great reviews online. It's super compact, lightweight, and it heats up fast. This is on my wish list. Perfect to bring for travel for small craft projects.
A nice quilting iron that has an auto-lift feature (how convenient and safe!). It comes in lovely pastel colors. It is relatively expensive but it's on my wish list.
A more budget friendly version of the Oliso quilting iron. No auto-lift feature. It has powerful steam, perfect for quilting projects
I've heard great things about this iron. The cord is retractable which is convenient. But I've also heard that it is relatively heavy.
Grid rulers are great for cutting quilting strips or squares accurately.
Great for cutting multiple pieces of fabric with great precision
Grid rulers with slots for you to cut fabric strips faster. It has a good grip. This is on my wish list.
Wool quilting / pressing mat for ironing fat quarters quickly. The compact size is perfect for traveling and do small projects.
Quilting pins that are long and fine. The pin heads are made of glass so you don't have to worry about melting them during ironing.
Hardwood tailors clapper is great for pressing the seams flat after ironing. Once you start using it, you can never go back.
Cordless iron that can steam your fabric vertically. Very powerful and convenient.
Good quality batting for quilting projects. It's also microwave safe (e.g., make heating pad).
Basting adhesive spray is very convenient and saves a lot of time to hold appliqués or other quilting pieces in place. It won't gum up the sewing machine as you sew over them.
Heat erasable pens are useful for drawing quilting lines or tracing patterns. Iron over them to remove markings.
Very convenient if you are mixing colorful fabric and white fabric in your quilting piece. It picks up even small amounts of color dye.
Very useful for sewing crisp corners and safely pushes fabric under the needle.
Great for holding bulky fabric in place.
