Learn to Quilt - Discover Top Tools of the Quilter's Trade
When I first started quilting I was just learning how to sew as well. It took a while to figure out which were the tools, also called notions, that I used the most. To help you on your journey to becoming a quilter I have created a list of the tools you will use the most:
Rotary Cutting Supplies. This includes a rotary cutter, acrylic rulers, and a cutting mat. These tools are made for precise cutting. Quilters worldwide wouldn't think of starting a quilting project without them. You'll find that the more accurately you cut your quilt pieces, the more accurately your quilt top is sewn together. Olfa is an excellent brand, and is the leader in the quilting community. A Decent Steam Iron. You can't start a quilting project without one. Now, you can buy the really expensive Rowenta professional iron, or, you can go to Walmart or Target and buy their steam iron. Both will get the job done. I've learned from experience that they both last about the same amount of time, will both do a decent job, but one is a lot less expensive to replace. I highly recommend using spring water in your irons-tap water can lead to hard water stains on your quilt top, and most manufactures say that you shouldn't use distilled water. A Good Seam Ripper. Most quilters have two or three of them on hand at any given time. Dritz makes a variety of excellent seam rippers. You'll find they have everything from seam rippers with magnifying glasses to ergonomic seam rippers for those of us quilters who rip out stitches on a regular basis. Spring Loaded Scissors and Shears. These scissors and shears are spring loaded to prevent hand fatigue while cutting repetitively. Quilting, and sewing for that matter, involves a lot of cutting. I have a pair of blunt tipped, which work really well for cutting threads, and a pair of sharp tip, which I like to use for cutting appliqué pieces. I don't know many quilters who don't own a pair of these. Fiskers, in this instance, is my brand of choice. 1/4 Inch Foot. A quarter inch foot for your sewing machine will get you going toward an accurate 1/4 inch seam allowance. Almost all quilt patterns instruct you to use an accurate quarter inch. Many sewing machines come with these feet. However, if you bought a simple hobby machine, you'll most likely need to purchase one. I would like to recommend a brand, but in this case, there are so many brands for different types of machines that you'll want to check with your local machine dealership to buy the right one. Don't worry, they aren't expensive, but they're definitely necessary. You may even find them at your local quilt shop.
You'll discover quilting can be an adventure. Anyone with the proper directions can create an heirloom quilt that will stand the test of time.
