Find The Right Quilting Tools For The Job From Our Vast Range

You can find a huge range of useful quilting tools and accessories from leading brands at Spotlight, including:

• Quilting cutters: You can find a huge range of rotary cutters, replacement blades, fabric scissors, thread snips and seam rippers here.
• Quilting rulers: Create precise cuts and folds with our variety of quilting rulers, which include square rulers, curved rulers, folding rulers and triangle and hexagon templates.
• Quilting mats: Cutting mats protect the surface you cut on and the material they're made of keeps the cutter blade sharp. If you have space, larger mats are a great choice, but if you are travelling to quilting classes you may want to choose a smaller mat.
• Quilting pens: Quilting pens and pencils create marks that are easy to remove, usually by washing. They're used for marking areas you need to come back to or be aware of as you quilt.
• Quilting glues and tapes: Special glues and tapes for quilting can make processes like hemming, binding and performing piecing techniques much easier. Some glues can be washed off, which is ideal if you want the glue to hold your quilt in place while you sew but don't want it adhered permanently.
• Quilting accessories: Handy tools like mini irons, paper pieces, basting sprays and frames can all be found in this accessory section.
