Ta Dah: Quilting Stiletto

The Quilting Stiletto - is the tool you never knew you needed, but once you have it, you don't know how you quilted without it!!

The Stiletto is used for:

• Guide fabric through the sewing machine
• Hold turned edges while ironing
• Pull up the bobbin thread to the top of the fabric
• Un-sew stitches
• 'Scrunch' ribbon against a machine needle when doing silk embroidery.

Finally, a stiletto adds beauty to your quilting environment.......go on make one today!

So .....you will need....

A turkey lacer...... or spike of your choice..... I used the following ....

And a selection of beads.......now beads......Most of mine have come from old necklaces/bracelets - especially the bigger beads - I have collected most from Charity shops - also its good to ask if they have any broken jewellery.  Its also worth taking your spike with you to check the bead threads onto the spike - sometimes the holes are just not big enough.  If you're after a particular colour then you made need to visit a bead shop!!

And off you go... using a little bit of super glue (carefully) place a little glue on the lacer and then thread your beads on in the order you require.
