In both our Liscard and Neston branches we have a lot of customers who enjoy doing quilting, whether that be making a child's cot blanket, a quilted bag or quilted cover for the bed. We sell a lot of craft cotton for this type of sewing project however it is also important that when you are buying fabric for quilting that you do not forget important haberdashery items that you may need. Here at Calico Laine you can Buy Haberdashery for all your quilting needs. When you Buy Haberdashery for your quilting project, one of the most important items is thread. Some people choose to do all of their quilting by hand whereas other prefer to do it with their sewing machine. In either case, we have sewing thread in our Haberdashery section which will suit your preferred method. Our best quality sewing thread is our Gutermann range. Available in this range is a sulky cotton 30 which is ideal for machine quilting and comes in a number of beautiful variagated colours. The Gutermann hand quilting thread, as expected, is perfect for hand quilting. This is a particularly strong thread and will withstand hand quilting without breaking. Another Haberdashery item that is particularly useful when it comes to quilting is our dressmaking rulers. It is very important when quilting that everything is precise and measured correctly so that the corners of all of the individual pieces match up well. The rulers are see-through which help when working out a pattern on your fabric and they have numbers on both sides allowing left handed and right handed users to work with them. When you Buy Haberdashery to make your quilted project, as well as these rulers, you may wish to buy a rotary cutter. As mentioned previously, it is essential that everything is done very precisely with this craft and a rotary cutter allows you to do just that. If you are wanting to cut out several pieces of fabric at a time it is best to use a rotary cutter rather than a pair of scissors as you will get a clean crisp edge and all of the pieces will cut to the the exact same size. We have found that the most popular size of rotary cutter is our 45mm Olfa cutter. Along with these haberdashery items, we also stock cutting mats, quilting needles, quilting pins and interfacing which can help with your projects. Whether you are a beginner or expert in the field of quilting we have a great selection of items to choose from.
