Good morning everyone. Every tool I have has to earn it’s spot at my sewing table. These 10 tools are tried and tested so they bring a smile to my face every-time I use them. Maybe you’ll find them useful too. Enjoy

[janoelschlager]

I find myself watching you instead of TV. I have been quilting for many years, but I think that I will make better quilts because of what I have learned from you. You are a good speaker and teacher

An easier way to make a tape ledge is to cut down thru the masking roll at the starting end of the tape (using razor type knife.) Cut down for how thick you want the ledge. Then pull these multiple layers of tape to the length you want and cut it off the roll. All your layers are automatically perfectly lined up without having to stack them up one layer of tape at a time.

Whaaat!???? I’ve been seam ripping the wrong way for 66 years. How have I not known this???? 🤯👏👏👏👏👏

[Suz.At.The.Lake.Quilts]

Way better than a tape ledge, which catches the threads and drags against your fabric as you feed it through, is to use a credit card sized fridge magnet (the kind you get sent in the mail as an advertisement for something) as as the edge. It is magnetic, but I still tape it down. Works a treat and the fabric slides nicely against the edge.

The tip I will use right away is the little folded square of fabric to level the presser foot. Thank you for the great tip.

[juliehoffman]

The high header will now be a game changer for me! It's genius! Need to get that 3 way pencil too!

[donnamagnabosco]

"high header" - a complete AHA moment. Brilliant, Thank You!!

[cathybroadwood]

What a wealth of useful knowledge you're imparting, Karen! You're like a library and mentor combined. Thank you 😍

[Angela-erol]

Using a folded mini charm square as a leader to get over thick seam humps...genius!! Just tried it and it works like a charm. Thank you for always providing the greatest tips.

[anndaily]

😵 the high header omg 😱 My purple Thang works to remove paper on paper piecing too👍

[s.oldfield]

Your upcycle use of electronics foam is genius, Karen!

[brendaburgner-williams]

Tip:
I have a card table for my sewing table. To protect it, I picked up several packages of inexpensive plastic cutting boards, 2 in a pac.
I duct taped 9 of them together to cover my table. It works for me.

[donnalewandowski]

Great idea with the foam!! I have some that I just couldn’t throw away(not sure why, but now I know

[sharonoconnor]

Karen, your videos are fabulous! You have such a great presentation style that is clear and succinct. Always learn so much from you. You are one of my top three quilters that I follow and recommend. The basics are so important thanks for sharing your success es with us.

[barbrapeck]

Hello!! Just was suggested your YouTube channel!! Oh how I have missed out but no longer I love this one video can't wait to see more!! Not ready to join as of yet as I am relearning how to sew after a stroke and went totally disabled physically and partially memory. I thank you for being so descriptive I will continue to watch and catch as many videos I can.

[danatisdale]

Karen, what an incredible learning experience I had today while watching your 'favourite tools' video. A ledge out of masking tape!!! What a difference it made today when sewing both a clean edge with a pinked 2.5" strip edge. AND I've been sewing for over 6 decades ... and just today, I learned what to do with the little red ball ! Many, many thanks, Karen, for your tips and tricks.

[tonyaLMN]

I use the soft end of the Clover stilletto on the screen of my Bernina, too. I don't have the tool Bernina sells and my finger isn't always recognized by the selection I'm trying to make on the screen, so this tool does the trick!

[gwynwellliver]

Definitely a few things to put on a wish list, like the stiletto.

[mondaholleger]

wow, never heard of a high header... great tip!!!!
