New Tools

There are always new tools and supplies to be found to help improve quilting.  I am one that is hestitant to buy things unless I know they will help.  Here are a couple that I've just gotten.

This first is the Towa Bobbin  case tension  gauge.  I bought one for my longarm because I really have a problem with the tension.  I used this little contraption and found I had my bobbin tension way too tight.  What I had thought was good was wrong.  Now my machine seems to work much easier and the back side of the quilt looks much better.

 

 I also bought this Floriani Stitch N Wash Fusible.  I have yet to use it, but will be very soon on the  Heart's Desire Applique that I am doing.  Esther's are so good.  I want mine to look that fine also and I believe this is what she uses.
