sewing machine applique notions you’ll love
The Top 10 List
Sulky 30 wt and 50 wt Thread
We absolutely LOVE Sulky Threads and you and your sewing machine will, too! We recommend using a 30 wt Thread in your needle and a color matching 50 wt Thread in your bobbin. The thicker 30 wt Thread adds such dimension to your applique and really brings your design to life.
Organ Needles Size 90/14
This needle has a slightly larger eye and shaft so the 30 wt Thread will have plenty of space to run smoothly without needing to adjust any tension settings on your machine.
Sulky Tear-Easy Stabilizer
This stabilizer is soft, lightweight and tears away without distorting the stitches you worked so hard to make perfect. The roll is 12″ wide and 11 yards long. A total of 33 feet in length … plenty for several Stitches of Love Block of the Months!
CutterPillar Glow Premium Cordless Light Pad
This light pad illuminates your applique placement guide with three different light levels and works great with the Glass Mat and Fusing Mat Set for accurate applique. Plus, this light pad includes a non-slip, self-healing cutting mat so you can easily trim your blocks without moving to a larger cutting surface.
CutterPillar Glass Mat for Applique
This is absolutely game changing for the world of applique! No need to carefully move your applique units from your light pad to your pressing surface because you can safely iron your applique units directly on this Glass Mat which sits atop your light pad!
