However, the person or people who helped you certainly must have done a great job. You've some wonderful fabrics in there! I think you started accumulating a stash!

They had a block thingy, I don't know if that was a Hera Marker but I'll certainly keep that in mind next time I'm browsing the quilting stores... sounds a great idea if it saves using the iron :)Gileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11350484616771510066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7863238450369552849.post-63824437770065946462011-07-11T01:10:31.669-07:002011-07-11T01:10:31.669-07:00Oh wow!

The only other bits I'd really recommend for starting out that you might have but you didnt mention would be a quilting ruler - which will give you a nice edge to butt the cutter up against (and you'll be able to feel the edge of the ruler so you'll know your fingers wont be in the way!) and a wee plastic gadget called a Hera Marker - which is great for using to crease and flatten seams as you sew (which helps to match up the edges when you're sewing together rows of sewn up patches) and it saves a lot of time as you dont have to keep moving to the iron to press seams! Hope this helps - they are certainly the gadgets I use the most.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11401124377008075764noreply@blogger.com
