Products I Love #2

Thanks to everyone for commenting on their favorite irons...the winner so far seems to be Rowenta.    My new iron is not a Rowenta, but if this new one doesn't work out, I'm going to give them a try.

There seems to be a great deal of interest in the Hobbs Fusible Batting.  Give me a day or two, and I'll do a tutorial and walk through the process of using this product.  If you are interested in purchasing this batting, I do know that they carry this at Hobby Lobby, I always purchase several bags at a time when they have their 40% off coupons available. 

Speaking of other products that I love...Superior Threads....I think they are the best!  They have recently come out with a Thread Selection Guide, and a Thread Reference Guide.  It is great information, and handy to printout, and keep next to your sewing machine.  I love companies that help you use their product more efficiently.  Part of my problem is the dyslexia thing, so any cheat sheets that keep me going in the right direction are super! 

Machine Quilting is a common event at my house, and nothing makes me crazier than breaking threads, and breaking needles.  The information on these charts helps me pick the right thread, needle, and machine settings so I can get the job done right the first time.

The winner of the Black & White strips was Tina from Boston!  Tina - I'll be shipping out your fabric as soon as I can get back to my cutting table.

Your Sailors’ Delight quilt is stunning! And so is your quilting on the above photo! And hurray for Tina winning the fabrics!

Thanks for all the info! I can use those 'cheat sheets'. I'm going to print them out as soon as I can. Your machine quilting is so wonderful! Do you think the BSR helps make your stitches so consistant? I've been thinking of getting a Bernina with one on it. I have a 160 now and love it but no BSR. Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. I'm going to add you to my bloglines so I can come back and visit.

I'm happy to know that Hobby Lobby has the batting. I visit that store weekly for one thing or another.
Thanks so much!

The machine quilting in your picture is just gorgeous. I'm looking forward to learning more about using fusible batting.

Your machine quilting is very skilled. I am extremely impressed. You don't have a big quilting machine? Or do you? It kind of looks like a regular sewing machine you are working on. I can't wait to hear more about the fusible batting. I usually buy mine in the huge rolls so I have a bit on hand but when it runs out I can't wait to try the fusible.
