Christmas gifts for quilters

Do you have a quilter friend and you’d like to gift them something?

Do you quilt and buy your own Christmas gifts?

Below I’ve compiled a selection of quilting tools I like and use on a regular basis and I can recommend. They’re also basic materials I can’t be without.

Aurifil thread set

Aurifil are silky premium quilting threads. They’re beautiful to work with. For a special gift I’d recommend Aurifil though on a day to day basis I use Connecting threads thread.

Headpins

I pin a lot and good quality very sharp headpins are important so they don’t damage the fabrics. You’ll go through a lot of pins -if you pin as much as I do!- so it’s always a gift that’s appreciated.

Olfa Rotary Cutter & Mat Quilt Kit

Rotary cutter, mat and ruler. Olfa makes great products. While they may be more expensive than other brands their products last a long time. I still have and use my first rotary cutter that I bought in 2005.

I also use Fiskars mats and cutters but Olfa seems to be “the” brand I have more attachment to.

Scissors

My good scissors are Fiskars. And this pair is perfect for quilting.

Wool pressing mat

I always have a wool pressing mat next to my machine and a small iron.

Mini craft iron

A mini iron is very convenient to use next to your machine on a wool mat.

Electric quilt 8 software

EQ 8 is the software I use to design my quilts and do some of the quilt mock-ups at the end of my videos.

You can also check other tools that I regularly use on my Tools page.
