Haberdashery - essentials
Here are some of our best selling haberdashery items for quilters and sewers. August update - we now have wires for face masks in stock… These are great for inserting into your handmade masks as they can stop your glasses from steaming up.
In-store we stock hundreds of useful haberdashery items, but here are 2 of our most popular products for quilters:
The Quilters 1/4in tape can be used for hand quilting straight lines without having to mark the quilt. It’s also useful for marking quilting rulers to speed up cutting.
The wadding tape ensures you can easily join all your offcuts of wadding, so nothing is wasted. Simply place 2 pieces of the same type of wadding side by side and iron the tape over the join. When sewing, you can’t feel the presence of any tape, so it’s perfect when hand quilting as it doesn’t impede the quilting needle.
For pre-Christmas crafting during Lockdown, we’ve added lots of useful adhesives, plus our new mini steam iron from Sew Easy. This is a great tool if you’re short of space and want to set up a small ironing station next to your sewing machine for speedy patchwork. And it makes a great gift for a crafter. (Tip - just use a folded up towel and piece of calico for a soft iron surface - and to protect your table…). Please note the Odif 505 temporary adhesive is only available for Pick-up from the store. Time on your hands? Try some mindful mending with a traditional darning mushroom. (Darning threads also available - phone for details).
