Tools Of The Trade – Introduction
By brenda | November 24, 2008
This is one of my favorite sections as I get to tell you about all the great tools that we have at our disposal for creating that perfect quilt.
You will find that your tools (or lack of) will be one of your biggest reasons for poor or sub-standard results. Just as much as a craftsman depends on high quality tools and the right tool for the job, so will you.
We will be covering the following topics over the next couple of articles:
- What tools are essential to have.
- What tools are nice to have.
- How to maintain your tools.
Beyond your general tools, we will be taking a detailed look at your sewing machine and how it ticks. This is one section that I recommend you do not skip as it will save you a ton of problems and potential service calls for issues you could have rectified on the spot.
It is my objective to make you educated enough to know what to buy or what not to buy when you enter a sewing or quilting store. You will find some of these tools quite expensive, so it is prudent to only spend money on what will help you the very most.
