Heat Resistant Template Plastic
I have been working with a heat resistant template plastic for many years to do prepared edge hand and machine applique techniques. Recently I found a plastic I like just a little better. It is writeable on both sides. It holds up beautifully using a medium dry heat setting on the iron. More good news.....it feeds through the copy machine with ease. I am loving this new plastic. To find out more see the "Free Tutorials" at the top of the website page. Package includes four sheets that are 8 1/2" x 11". Recommended retail is $10.95.$10.95 |

Perfect Adapter
Some of you have asked about an "adapter" to change the outside measurements on the Perfect Adjustable Square to whole numbers....they are currently only adjustable to 1/2" increments. GOOD NEWS! We just recieved the new adapter which makes the interior square adjustable from 5 1/2" up to 21 1/2" and the exterior square adjustable from 11" up to 26". The adapter is a slightly different color so that it stands out from your other pieces. Comes as a 4-piece set. $4.99 |

Perfect Adjustable Square
One of my most feared steps, related to applqiue, is when I have to square the block after I have finished my applique. I, like many other appliquers, prefer to cut our background fabric larger and then square the block to size when the applique is complete. The reason I have always hesitated at this step is....what if I do it incorrrectly and have to make the block over again? With the Karen Kay Buckley's Perfect Adjustable Square™ the fear is removed. This pacakge includes: 4 corner units, 4 one inch, 4 two inch, 4 four inch. 4 eight inch pieces and the 4 one and half inch "adapter" pieces which are 24 pieces in all. These pieces snap together similar to a puzzle piece. It will allow you to build a square from 4", the inside of the square is in whole numbers, and up to a 26" square, the outside is in 1/2" increments. You can easily use your rotary cutter along the outside of these acrylic pieces. You can build 32 sizes. The "adapter" allow you to adjust the square to 1/2" increments on the inside and whole numers on the outside. These four pieces have a blue tint. Also included in the package is a red felt bag in which to store all of your pieces. Click on the link below to watch a video The recommended retail is $76.95

Clover Bias Makers - 1/4"
In addition to using this tool to make binding for your quilts another excellent use is for stems. The way the bias maker folds the strips of fabric all you need to do is applique the edge. Because of the way the raw edges are folded the strips are easy to sew by hand or by machine. This works well for both bias and grain strips.

I'm sure you can find lots of good uses for this little pouch. $3.00 |
