Hello All,

I'm new to quilting/sewing and the Quilting Board. I'm quite the novice at both. I've only made 2-3 quilts in my life. I got started when my sister-in-law gave me a bunch of quilting tools that she got at a garage sale
last year. So far, I'm sticking to the easy patterns (nine patch, rail fence & hand applique on large blocks).
Included with my quilting tools given to me, there was a small washer-type thing with a small hole for the pencil to mark 1/4" seams on curved pieces. I've recently moved, and somehow that little tool was lost. :shock: It was probably the most important tool to me for marking my curved applique stitches. Does anyone know what it's called and where I can get another one...or 2,3,4...?

Thanks ... :D

A big welcome from Ireland, I know exactly the thing you are describing, but sorry, don't know it's name. Have you tried looking under notions until you find the thingy? Best of luck, I am sure someone here knows what it's called.

I've looked everywhere under notions. I have spent lots of time looking, much to the chagrin of my husband. So far, no luck. I'm sure someone here will know where I can find one. Thanks.

Welcome from Florida!

I think I saw those at the Fons & Porter site, but not 100% sure.

Hello, and welcome from Missouri. I DO know the tool you mean, but since I only have the thingy, not the package, I don't know what it is called either. It sure is a handy thing, though!
