HI
A friend of mine is retiring after thirty years of working with special needs children. She told me she wanted to take up quilting. She bought a sewing machine.. I have taken up a collection at work and thought I would make her a starter kit (i.e. mat, rotary cutter, ruler...etc). My question... What is the one thing you think absolutely needs to go in the kit... And do you have a favorite brand? Thank you. Any other suggestions would be fun as well. |
thread snippers! What a great idea for a retirement gift!

Definetly a stitch ripper, i am just learning and find i "unsew quite a bit" i would be lost without mine.

1/4" foot for her sewing machine. It really helps keep the seams even.
