Does anyone have any weird, "unintentional" favourite quilting tools in their sewing box?
I was squaring up some blocks this afternoon and my fingers were getting sore swiping away the skinny wisps of thread and fabric cut from each block when I hit upon the idea of using a recently purchased shaving brush...you know the sort....nice chunky little handle for easy grip and big boof of soft bristles. Now with a quick swipe around the edge of my square and block I can woosh away all those pesky little threads and fabric tatters leaving me with a lovely neat freshly squared block.
