An amazing starter machine! I got it so many years ago and it’s still going strong!! It’s a little bit limiting for certain things but it gets the job done for beginner and intermediate projects. It works well to quilt with if you’ve got a walking fo...
SINGER® Tradition 2277 Sewing Machine
A MUST-HAVE if you want to quilt on a domestic sewing machine! It’s been a great tool!
SINGER® Even Feed / Walking Presser Foot
Want perfect 1/4” seams? This is how you’re going to get it. If you want to make a quilt, all the piecing seam allowances will be 1/4” unless otherwise noticed in your pattern. Getting the right seam allowance takes practice, but with a presser foot ...
SINGER® 1/4 Inch Piecing Presser Foot
A wool pressing mat is so convenient for pressing little pieces in quilting. I love using it rather than my ironing board because it doesn’t take up a lot of space! I prefer to use starch spray and/or a paint pen filled with starch paired with a mini...
Unique Bargains Thickened Heat-Resistant Wool Pressing Mat for Sewing Craft 12" x 9"
This is actually a refillable paint pen, but I fill mine with starch! With the pen, add some starch to your seam before pressing. You’ll get the flattest seams you’ve ever had!
Starch Pen!!
This rotary cutter is the bomb! Olfa is a very reputable brand and the blades are top notch!
OLFA Deluxe Rotary Cutter 45mm
Perfect mini iron for small pieces (and big pieces if you want). I love using it on a wool pressing mat and a starch pen, which are also on my sewing list on this site!
Dritz Mighty Travel Steam Iron – Mini Iron for Quilting, Crafts & Sewing, Compact Portable Travel Steamer for Home & On-the-Go Use
Heard such great things about this rotary cutter. They have a Famore club where you can send back your dull blades and they will sharpen them! Would love to try this someday if my Olfa cutter ever fails me!
Rotary Cutter with 45mm Blade from Famore Cutlery
Cute cute scissors! I love these tiny scissors to stick in a bag if I’m bringing a craft somewhere. Or just if I don’t want to use my normal scissors for cutting little threads off of things!!
Sewing and Embroidery Snips!!
Love a good stainless steel pair of fabric scissors! I especially like anything that comes in gold because I’m a gold girl!
Westcott 8 Inch Fashion Gold Stainless Steel Bent Fabric Scissors for Sewing and Office
Wonder clips are great for the binding stage of a quilt! They are also nice for piecing if you don’t like using pins!
Clover Wonder Clips Assorted Colors 50/Pkg
A full size ironing board is great for ironing large pieces of fabric! When I prep my fabric to be sewn I use my ironing board, a large iron, and starch spray.
Mainstays Full‑Size T‑Leg Ironing Board – 53" x 14", Adjustable Height, Steel Frame, Thick Padded Cotton Cover, Non‑Slip Feet, Beige
When I need to iron yardage of fabric I like to use this large iron. I prefer not to use the steam function because I love starch. But I know some people are die hard steam fans! This iron will work for either method!

Awesome spray bottles! I fill them with starch. When you hold it down to spray it’s a continuous mist rather than a quick squirt. It makes for evenly distributing the starch really well!
Spray bottles for starch!!
THE most classic magnetic pin holder out there. I’m positive my mom and grandma had this same one when I was growing up! It helps to keep pins from falling on the floor! Especially helpful for piece of mind if you have kids and/or pets!
Euro Notions Grabbit Magnetic Pincushion - Walmart.com
Pins are so handy! Sometimes a clip will do, but pins are nice for more precise needs. I haven’t tried the flat heads like these but my friends have raved about these!
