New Toys!

We got some great new notions in this week!

First, here’s the Mundial Freestyle Scissors (sorry the picture is so small) – this is the 7 1/2″ size but we also have them in 5″ and 8 1/2″:

In addition to being funny looking, they cut great, they are ambidexterous, have antimicrobal handles, and, well, they’re just fun.  AND a lifetime guarantee.  AND they’re on sale, 10% off, until the end of the month.  :-)   Regular price on these is $14, $17, and $19.

Another new product (and small image, sorry) is the Clover size 12 steel crochet hook.  Yes, I know, why are we selling crochet hooks?  Because this hook is so fine that you can go through your fabric and use it to hook and pull loose threads to the back (or hide your tails on machine quilting), etc., and it doesn’t leave any holes.  And the handle isn’t so tiny that it’s going to give your hand cramps.  I guarantee you we’ll be using it in my hand quilting class!:

The hook retails for $6.75.

Last but not least – bias tape makers.  Pattie was our tester for these and she loves hers, so on her recommendation, we got more.  For now we have two sizes, 1/2″ and 1″.  They are $6.75 and $7.50.  Here’s a tiny picture of one of them:

Speaking of Pattie, she’s in London, but we still love her anyway.  :-)   She did send some photos yesterday, but due to our internet connection issues I can’t post them now (I can’t connect to my shop computer, and I’m at home now).  But I’ll try to post them in the next day or two, so stay tuned!

Hope to see you soon!

    I have those Bias tape makers in four sizes and I have to say that I just love them. It’s ridiculous how easy they are to use.

    I can’t believe that I ever bought bias tape. (for clothing sewing) It was always a pain to match it and they only had polyester! AGH!

  2. Mary Says:

    Ok Lila, I have them too because they look so ridiculously easy to use, but my first attempt was very frustrating, so I haven’t tried since. What am I doing wrong?!!! Maybe QA could host a Clover Bias Tape maker-making session!

  3. Sharon Ernst Says:

    I am like Mary have several never did get it right. LOL

  4. Joyce Says:

    I think that to punish Pattie for going to London, we should make HER do the bias tape maker demos! Everyone, please be sure to ask her to schedule it when she gets back! :-)
