________________________________________________

Pam Clarkes’ Stencils are now fully back in stock for those that missed out….

Also I now have more Featherlight Clamps back in stock AND with the great exchange rate there is also a PRICE REDUCTION on these for this shipment…

Featherlight Clamps

Featherlight Clamps

Featherlight Clamps 1 pair

Use these clamps on longarm, midarm, and shortarm machines.
LIGHTWEIGHT: Only 1.3 ounces/pair. They will not pull down on your quilt edge.
WIDE (8 1/2"): Provides even tension across your fabric edge. This reduces side distortion.
THIN: Will not interfere with your extended throat plate or the edge of your machine. No more bumping into the clamps. Quilt right up to the edge of the clamp.
EASY: Snaps on with a pinch of your finger and thumb.
Strap is 72" Long.
NOTE: These clamps are designed to attach onto one layer of fabric. They do not clamp onto batting.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR BEST RESULTS:
This method will provide even tension on all three quilt layers.
1. Baste the top of your quilt along the sides to secure the top and batting to the back of your quilt.
2. Clip the clamps onto the quilt backing.
3. Gently pull the straps to the side. As soon as you feel the slightest pressure on the strap, lay it onto the velcro strip. This will support the side of your quilt without causing distortion. (DO NOT Torture your quilt by stretching it sideways.)
4. Quilt as desired.
5. Advance your quilt.
6. Repeat 1 to 5. Baste as you go after each time you advance the quilt.

Sewline Fabric Glue Pen

Sewline Fabric Glue Pen

This clever glue stick means the end of sewing around pins! A water-soluble blue glue that dries clear is a quick, convenient way to hold fabrics for sewing. Great for quilting and applique work but also for hemming and general sewing. Once glued, the fabric pieces can be pulled apart, so not to worry if they are misplaced or need to be adjusted. Refills available.

Price: $AU8.80

Lastly some new marking products to assist & enhance your quilting projects with…

Sewline Trio

Sewline Trio

A fabric pencil with a unique 360 degree rotating mechanism for three functions in one. The Sewline Trio comes with an 0.9mm black lead for marking on lighter cloth, an 0.9mm white lead for dark cloth and a blank roller for tracing or making indentations on fabric. The pen also comes with a small eraser located underneath the top cover and a soft triangular grip. Convenient lead refills are available in white, pink, green and black graphite so you can tailor the Trio to your own needs.

Price: $AU19.95

Sewline Lead refills – white, pink & black

Sewline Lead refills - white Sewline Lead refills - pink Sewline Lead refills - black

For use with either Sewline Fabric Pencil or in the Sewline TRIO Multi-Function tool

Price: $AU7.70

Sewline Aqua Eraser

Sewline Aqua Eraser

Removing marking lines from fabric sometimes has proven difficult or other "removal marks" are left instead.  Not anymore with the Sewline AQUA Eraser which has been specifically developed for the Sewline Ceramic Leads but may well work with several other markers too. It works rather like a fountain pen with a reservoir you simply fill with water or a water and detergent mix, some of which is packaged with the Eraser.
Your finger pressure on the soft grip then dampens the special soft fibre point.  By lightly dabbing or running this point along the line or mark, the special point absorbs the pencil or water-based ink mark.  So much quicker and easier than fiddling with a sponge or cloth.  When the point of the Aqua Eraser becomes discoloured, simply pull it out and slip in a new point.  Sewline Aqua Eraser Refills Available.

  • Quick

  • Safe

  • Easy

  • Refillable

Dry naturally, do NOT use the iron or dryer to dry.

When detergent needs to be replaced, simply refill the bottle with any quality household kitchen detergent.

Price: $AU18.95

Sewline Aqua Eraser Nib refill

Sewline Aqua Eraser Nib refill

Sewline Aqua Eraser Fibre Point refills - 6 in pouch.

Price: $AU6.60

Bohin Mechanical Chalk Pencil

Bohin Mechanical Chalk Pencil

Not your Grandmother's chalk pencil, this chalk pencil is a favourite of many.

This quilt marking tool is a mechanical pencil with compressed ceramic chalk for "lead". It never needs sharpening. The extra fine "lead" (0.9mm) leaves a nice line. The chalk can be washed out or erased with the fabric eraser. And yes, the eraser on the pencil works!

Bohin makes four colors (white, gray, yellow, green) of these "leads" that swap in and out of the same chalk pencil. Nifty! Other colours coming soon...

Use a light box to transfer designs to your quilt top.

The chalk glides easily across your fabric and makes a brighter white line than the Clover White Marker.

Price: $AU21.90
