Doing a good job quilting is so often dependent on good tools. The right sewing machine can be the difference between struggling through a project and enjoying the creative process. A high-quality pair of scissors will make cutting easier and much more accurate. Premium fabric is more enjoyable to work with, lasts longer and will be easier to manipulate. A thorough quilting class will provide the foundation for the ease of working through a complicated quilt pattern. Picking a well written quilt pattern will provide you with a chance to execute a great quilt design.
But there are also the gadgets and extras that make your sewing easier and more fun. Struggling to complete a project that will not cooperate with your intentions is frustrating at best and a reason to avoid further attempts at worst.
One of the tools that I have been using quite a bit of is fusible fleece, manufactured by Pellon. It can be used as a thick inner facing, a stabilizer or a thin batting. Ironing fuses the fleece to your fabric and prevents slipping. It comes in different loft (thickness) amounts.
