Did you know?!

Did you know that we carry dies for the Crafter's Edge Crossover II Fabric & Paper Cutting System? We have a selection of octagon, hexagon and circle dies in stock.  If you need a particular shape or size we've got the catalog on hand and can order what you need!  

Do you have an Accuquilt GO! machine but wish that you could use the Crossover dies?  Well you can!  We have a 3-piece Conversion Platform Set for GO! Fabric Cutting Machines.  This conversion set will allow you to use any of the Crossover dies in your current die cutting system.  

Die cutting machines make it so easy to get accurate and fast cuts and shapes for quilters, cut out applique shapes or English paper pieces (the paper and the fabric!) and these dies are perfect for cutting out wool shapes too!!  Check out the video below to see how the Crossover II can bring precision, convenience and fun to your crafts!

2T Did you Know? Transfer-Eze

Did you know that there's a super fast and easy way to transfer embroidery designs onto any fabric?!  I've known about Transfer-Eze for a long time but had never had an excuse to use it (or so I thought) until recently...  I wanted to stitch this design on some toweling that was too dark and too thick to see through for tracing...even with the help of my light-box set on it's brightest setting.  Stumped, I recalled the package of Transfer-Eze buried in a drawer of my sewing cabinet!  I followed the directions, turned on my printer/copier and literally minutes later I was ready to start stitching!  As a matter of fact, it took longer for my printer to warm up than it did to print, trim and adhere the Transfer-Eze!!  This is a "rinse away" product and I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly it dissolved (about 20 minutes in cold water) and with zero residue.  It's not just for embroidery either! It's perfect for appliqué, machine quilting, hand quilting and punch-needle patterns as well.

Did you know that you can bring your empty bottle of Best Press in for a refill?   It's true and it's a savings!   Refilling a 16.9 oz bottle is $3 less than a new one and you can help the environment by keeping another bottle out of the landfill!

Did you know that you can turn any fabric into a laminated vinyl?  We have a few different products by Pellon and Heat-n-Bond that very simply iron on to any cotton fabric.  Presto!  Laminated, wipeable and protected.  We used the Pellon Vinyl Fuse in the lining of this fun pencil pouch from Noodlehead who offers the pattern as a free tutorial.
