Machine Accessory Kit

$43.00

This is a convenient machine reverse applique starter kit.

These are all our preferred products that we use everyday in the creation of our designs by machine.

Kit includes:

  • 1 pair of our Kai 4” bent-handled sharp-tipped scissors for cutting out fused fabric. Also great for un-sewing a satin stitch.

  • 1 yard x 21” of Flexi Fuse. Our current favorite paper-backed, iron-on fusible. Its lightweight, yet adheres well. It doesn’t gunk up my sewing machine needle when stitching or quilting. And when done, your quilt piece washes up soft and flexible. You’ll definitely want more after you’ve tried it.

  • 1 - 16 oz. Terial Magic, a spray-on stabilizer someone defined as best press on steroids. spray it on, let it mostly dry and then iron it dry the rest of the way. It stiffens your fabric like paper so it doesn’t pucker up or waffle as you satin stitch. This bottle is enough for approximately 3 yards of fabric.

All items are available for purchase separately in our shop on the notions page.

About the products in the Machine Accessory Kit

Flexi Fuse: A fabulous fusible. It is a double-sided, paper-backed iron-on fusible that is lightweight yet adheres well.  When your piece is done and you wash it, your piece is soft. It comes 21” wide. We sell it in 3 yards, 2 yard and 1 yard lengths. x 21” wide.

 Terial Magic: a spray-on stabilizer defined as Best Press on steroids, and the only stabilizer I use.  We use it to stabilize our machine reverse applique pieces before stitching. Spray it on, let it dry about 15 minutes and iron dry the rest of the way. Depending on how much you use it stiffens your fabric like paper so it won’t pucker into your satin stitch. Also great for machine embroidery, applique or if you need to stabilize bias cut quilt pieces. When you are done it just washes out. Can also be used with 3-D art pieces.

 Kai 4” bent-handled sharp-tipped scissors: I use these scissors to cut out all my fused reverse applique pieces, no matter the size. The tips are so sharp I can poke right on the edge of the design, and their small size gives me great maneuverability to accurately cut out my shapes. The bent-handled shape keeps the blade and fabric flat on the table and my cutting hand off the piece as it cuts. These scissors open and close easily which cuts down on hand/ wrist fatigue, and the vanadium steel holds its edge. These are my go to scissors beyond reverse applique, too, using them to un-sew seams and satin stitches.
