>>>Rulers

Sewing and Quilting Rulers are absolutely necessary to someone who sews. These rulers are transparent and have some sort of gripping ability to keep from slipping when you’re using a rotary cutter. Most have markings that are quilting-specific which will help with making accurate cuts. This Creative Grids 6.5″ x 24.5″ Ruler is one of my favorites.

The Best Steam Iron for Sewing and Quilting image

I upgraded to this iron after Quilt Market because I was so impressed with the steam. It’s a hefty investment, but totally worth it if you make a lot of quilts. I call it the Vanisher of All Wrinkles for a reason! It would make an excellent gift for a committed quilter!

>>>Specialty Feet

Specialty sewing machine feet can be a real treat for someone who sews. I have a post on Sewing Machine Feet that can be helpful. Two of my favorites (and I’m not alone, here) are the Edge Stitch Foot and the Walking Foot. Every sewing machine manufacturer will have each of these feet available. The Walking Foot is something that many quilters and sewists long to own.

>>>Sewing Machine

This wouldn’t be a very good list for quilters and sewists if it didn’t include a new sewing machine. In my Shop I have a variety of sewing machines at different price levels. Some are are better for sewing and others are ideal for quilting. However, I always recommend people visit their local sewing machine dealers. On the high end are Bernina, Babylock, Brother, Pfaff, and Husqvarna. However, each of these brands have mid-level models and starter machines. Look for machines with features that interest you, such as machine embroidery or quilting.
