The Ultimate Tool Kit for QISS Control Quilting

Hobbs Heirloom Fusible Batting offers a convenient solution for quilters looking to streamline their process.

Comprising an 80% Cotton and 20% Polyester blend, this batting not only provides excellent loft and drape for quilts but also comes with the added benefit of being double-sided fusible. This unique feature allows quilters to skip the traditional pinning or basting of their quilt layers together. By simply ironing, the top and bottom fabrics will be temporarily adhered to the batting, saving significant time and effort. 

Quilting with Hobbs Heirloom Double-Sided Fusible Batting is a joy due to its excellent quilting properties. Once incorporated into a quilt, whether through hand or machine quilting, it maintains its integrity and ensures a beautiful finish. Since the fusing medium is water-soluble, it will dissolve after its first wash. 

 Whether you are planning to do work on a small wall hanging or a large bedspread, Hobbs Heirloom Double-Sided Fusible Batting provides the versatility and reliability that quilters trust.

Pauline swears by this batting for all her quilting projects, attesting to its quality and ease of use. With Hobbs Heirloom Double-Sided Fusible Batting, quilters can enhance their quilting experience. Making the process more efficient without compromising on the beauty and durability of the finished quilt.

The Sew Slip Mat is a game-changer for quilters seeking a smoother, more effortless quilting experience. Designed with both functionality and ease of use in mind, this innovative mat features a dual-sided design. One side is slippery, allowing effortless movement of the quilt layers. While the other side features a tacky surface that securely adheres to the sewing machine bed.

The Sew Slip Mat is its ability to significantly reduce the physical strain associated with quilting. By allowing the quilt to glide smoothly over the surface, quilters can say goodbye to the need for excessive pushing and pulling. This translates into less tension in the shoulders, neck, and back—a welcome relief during long quilting sessions.

Made with practicality in mind, the Sew Slip Mat is equipped with a strategically placed rectangular hole. Designed for optimal functionality depending on the quilting technique used. For those practising free motion quilting with the feed dogs lowered and using a darning foot, the hole accommodates the needle movement seamlessly. If quilting with a walking foot, or open toe foot, the mat ensures the feed dogs can operate effectively.

 this is a indispensable tool in your quilting arsenal. It not only enhances the ease and efficiency of quilting but also  eliminates unnecessary physical exertion. Its thoughtful design and practical features make it a must-have for any quilting enthusiast looking to elevate their quilting experience to new heights of comfort and productivity.

The Sew Slip Mats are 18 x 12 inches.

When free motion quilting, we recommend using the Sew Slip Mat in conjunction with the Small Free Motion Quilting Hoop - 8 1/2", or the Large Free Motion Quilting Hoop - 11 1/2". The hoops assist in holding the quilt down and keeping your stitches even.

This incredible 80wt 2-ply cottonized polyester thread carries a textured matte finish that has been treated to behave more like cotton and eliminate stretch. Delicate but incredibly strong, this lightweight thread ensures stitching becomes less bulky and designs softer while the fine weight also allows for more acute miters and rounder and smoother curves.

Pauline highly recommends this thread for Controlled Quilting and loves using it herself. It is a lighter thread than the FabuLux thread which makes it ideal for going over the same lines multiple times. This colour is a great contrast against dark fabric, allowing your quilting design to really stand out!

This spool is 2000m or 2187yds.

The Ultimate Thread Dispenser™️ is a unique sewing accessory that greatly improves the thread draw and tension during sewing. With the combination of the rotating base and thread guide, it promotes a consistent and even thread draw that is especially useful for tangled or slippery threads, or threads with a high memory such as metallic. This device can be used with any thread type, but you’ll see the largest benefits with slippery threads and metallic threads.

Since using this dispenser, Pauline has found that it gets rid of all the twists out of any of the threads she uses, and no longer gets any jamming or splits in her threads!

This dispenser is made to fit all mini king cone spools from WonderFil (such as the DecoBob & FabuLux threads). While it also fits some other brand’s mini cone size spools, it is worth checking the measurements below to be sure.

We recommend using the Ultimate Thread Dispenser™️ on the vertical spool pin of your machine. While it can also be used on the horizontal spool pin, not all sewing machine compartments will be large enough to fit it. If your machine only has the horizontal pin, make sure to check your manual to find out if you have a vertical holder built in or included in the machine tool box.

Not sure if the Ultimate ThreadDispenser™️ will fit on your machine? Below are the dimensions of the device you can measure against your machine:

Base dimensions: 50.5mm (2”)

Hole dimensions: 8.7mm (0.34”)

A copy of the user guide is included with your Ultimate Thread Dispenser™️.

Superior Titanium Coated Top Stitch Needles 70/10 are a top quality sewing machine needle that stays sharp longer than other needles. The Topstitch needle is the most common needle type used as it has a larger eye and deeper groove, and is recommended for piecing, quilting, embroidery, appliqué, and construction.

Having a good needle in your sewing machine is one of the easiest and least expensive ways to improve your stitching and sewing projects. You can have the most expensive machine available but if you’re using a cheap or worn out needle you’re not likely to get a great result.

Due to it's strength and resistance to corrosion, titanium is used in the construction of aircraft, naval ships and spacecraft. It's also used in Superior Titanium Coated Top Stitch Needles 70/10 giving quilters a sewing machine needle that will stay sharp far beyond other brands. For years titanium coated needles have been available for industrial machines and now home sewers can enjoy the benefits of a needle that will last on average, 5 to 8 times longer than a standard needle.

And since they cost a mere fraction more than regular needles, you'll actually be saving money and changing your needle less often.

Each packet contains five needles, size #70/10

Note - compared to the 80/12, this size difference is not noticeable and will work just as well!
