Mini Iron: A mini iron is perfect for pressing small seams and detailed pieces, giving you precision and control over delicate fabric areas without wrinkling or distorting your work. We use this mini iron more than our regular size one! *The Steamfast we're using has been discontinued but you can find a similar model HERE
Wool Pressing Mat: A wool pressing mat provides a dense, heat-retentive surface that absorbs moisture and holds heat, allowing for crisp, flat seams with minimal pressing effort.
Wooden Seam Roller: A wooden seam roller quickly flattens seams without the need for heat, making it ideal for quick projects or when working on the go.
Omnigrid Quilter's Square Ruler: The Omnigrid Quilter's Square Ruler helps measure and square up blocks with accuracy, ensuring your quilt pieces are perfectly aligned.
Mini Clips: Mini clips hold fabric layers securely without leaving marks or pinholes, making them perfect for thicker quilts or delicate fabrics that are difficult to pin.
Snips: Snips are handy for quickly trimming thread ends close to the fabric, keeping your work neat and reducing the risk of fraying or loose threads.
