Quilting Supplies Needed for Your Craft Project

Measuring and cutting requires the right tools, and some of them are specified in sewing patterns. Here are a few tools to consider:

• Quilting cutter: Helpful for any sewist, unlike traditional scissors, a rotary cutter is created with a round blade that functions quite like a wheel, slicing through your fabric with ease.
• Quilting mat: When cutting fabric it is essential that you use a quilting mat to protect your underneath surfaces.
• Quilting pen: Helpful for marking your fabric, specifically to know where to cut or what shape to cut for your quilt.

Measuring Tips For Quilting

Measuring more than once

When you measure some of your fabric, it is most important to measure more than once. Instead of measuring just once, do it at least twice to avoid simple mistakes that could have been avoided.

Seam allowance

Since mistakes can be made while sewing, having extra leeway certainly does not hurt. And while you will use a little more fabric, it is still more affordable than having to throw away a failed project.

Using a straight edge

The straight edge is usually an item such as a ruler or a flat piece of wood that is used to keep the fabric straight while cutting. In addition to that, the straight edge must also be used to position the pattern of a fabric. So, make sure that the pattern of the fabric is parallel to the straight edge before you start cutting out your pattern.

Check for wrinkles and creases

If pre-washing your fabric, make sure there are no wrinkles and creases when you start measuring. Not all fabrics come out of the washing machine flat and wrinkle-free, so you may have to steam and iron your fabric before you can measure it.
