Take it away Sandra…..

I am so excited to share with you about some new tools in my “HQ tool box” that I love, Love, LOVE!

I used this while making a baby quilt.  It was a panel printed on Minkee.  It was very hard to see my stitching so I clamped the Black Light on the handle bar and the difference was amazing!  I could see my stitching!  I like that the clamp holds securely and it plugs into a USB port on the machine so no cords to get in the way.  Also, the neck is flexible yet stays in place so the light is right where you need it.

I have used it multiple times already.  So you all know, if you are micro quilting you most likely are using 2 layers of batting or in this most recent quilt wool batting and Minkee backing.  In any case the Handi Micro Foot glides effortlessly across the quilt while allowing you to see your entire stitching area.  And yes, you can use the Black Light and Micro Foot together for a win-win!  I can’t say enough about this little guy.  If you like to micro quilt this is a game changer for sure!

The Curvy ruler will definitely be my go to ruler for Continuous Curve from now on! This ruler has the perfect arc on each side so no more searching for a ruler that fits the block or triangle I am working on.  I have used this one a few times already and each time it has fit the space perfectly.  I also like that I can stitch a double line all with the same ruler.  It is easy to hold and I can quickly turn and re-align it.  I love my rulers and this one is a winner!

Thanks HQ for continuing to come up with new ideas to inspire and improve our quilting journey!

I hope all of you are healthy and finding and sharing inspiration through quilting and sewing!
