A great Tool!

I posted this picture on Facebook last week..........and several people asked me what it was.  I was machine sewing the binding on my Gradation Crossing quilt. I sew binding to the back of the quilt and turn it to the front and stitch it down.

I use the Hold It Precision Stiletto to keep the binding in place as I sew.

A Press Perfect tool by Joan Hawley.

Hold while sewing or pressing.

- Grippy tip for holding fabric.

- Angled tip for good reach and visibility.

- Heat resistant silicone tip for working near iron

while pressing.

I use the silicone tip to hold binding in place when machine sewing. The other end is great to use when piecing, particularly when you need to keep bulky seems flat as you sew.

I LOVE this tool!

And now you can buy on in my online store here.

What's on My Table, Tuesday?

Today I am sewing the binding on a small quilt I quilted yesterday.  It is Route 66 by Patricia R. Ritter of Urban Elementz.  It uses Patricia's Urban Elementz fabrics and fusible appliques by Northcott.

 I am sewing the binding to the quilt by machine. This is fast and very secure. This is one of the 'finishing' styles that is included in my Fine Finishes Workshop.  I'll be teaching this class for the Parksville Quilt House Guild later this month.
