    In my quilt class the other day, a fellow quilter had a "quilter's wheel."
    It's used for adding 1/4" seams to a template. You stick a pencil in the hole in the middle and just run the little wheel around your template. Does anyone know where you can buy them? It's a Dritz product. Searched Dritz, Clothilde, Keepsake and Connecting Threads. Thanks.

    It's called the Quilter's Wonder Wheel and/or Quilter's Seam Allowance Disk.
    Different sites have it listed differently.
    Because that's really helpful. :roll:

    I bought mine at Joann's.

    The barcode is included so if you're calling the store before you go, they can check the store inventory.

    This exact topic comes up every couple of weeks.
    I think next time I see them in the store, I'm just going to buy a bunch to have on hand when people go looking for it. ;-)

    That is great! I have never seen one at my Joann's. I'll be on the look out for one.

    When this was talked about recently on here, someone said they just use a washer!

    Sounds good I may look for one especially if it's only $1.00 Sue
