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... Lainey |

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. http://www.amazon.com/Quilters-Wonde...s+wonder+wheel |

Even cheaper:

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?
|
Funny, I just saw one at Joann's today!
|
I ordered one of those last year and I believe I got it at Nancy's Notions for less than 50 cents. I got it for template piecing. I've yet to use it!!
|
If you take 2 pencils and rubber band them together you get 1/4 inch mark to. i bought the tool you talk about but learned this trick so never used the tool.
|
You can also use an Add a Quarter ruler for straight lines... won't work for curves. I use my add a quarter ruler all the time :)
