Quarter inch seam marker
 
Hi Everyone -

I saw a special tool at a quilting friend's house and am looking to buy this but can't find it online. She did not know what it is called and she purchased it a long time ago, so we are not sure it still exists but it's super handy.

It looks like a penny with a hole in the center. You stick your pencil in the hole and then drag the penny back and forth along your ruler edge to get the 1/4 inch line for making templates.

I have the 1/4 inch marker that is a long plastic tube, but has anyone seen this penny thing? It's way better than the tube as it's so flexible.

Thanks for any feedback on this...

That was weird.

Anyway, it's available at Joann's.

Thankyou - I'm not able to get to a Joann's so am searching Dritz and also Joanne online but not finding this penny marker. Do you know what it is called so I can search it and buy online?

I appreciate your help.

The Quilter's Wonder Wheel

Many online shops sell it as well.
But shipping would probably be more than the wheel.
It only cost a couple of bucks.

Here's another online store.

Ooh, I just ordered two from Amazon, thank you so much - yes, Nancy you wouldn't believe how fun and handy this thing is, it just swirls around corners, edges, curves...

That's pretty cool.

This was one of the first quilting tools I bought when I first started quilting. It's hard to keep up with so better buy two. I know mine is at the bottom of one of my sewing caddies but which one?
