LED LIGHTS ARE BACK!!!



HOORAY--We love these lights, You will too!
 
 
      All 3 styles of lights are great for sewing--The stem of each light is "bendy" so you can get light exactly where you need it! Shine the light on your work; NOT in your eyes while sewing by machine or hand!  The "light head" is small so it does not block line of vision --
      LED light can last 10,000 hrs, and is a "COOL" light(as in NOT HOT--although we think they are pretty cool--like HIP)--which is much appreciated when quilting or hand stitching.

 
 
 We use the DESK LIGHT behind the sewing machine and bend to just the right spot to chase those pesky shadows away!  Use it on side table when hand sewing-  Cindy even uses the desk light on her ironing board for better light when trimming and pressing!

 


DESK LIGHT comes in BLACK, WHITE, CRANBERRY, TURQUOISE, and GOLD--just $21.99


     The CLIP-ON LIGHT has a slightly shorter "stem" than the desk light.  It has a strong grip with little suction doohickies that will grab firmly onto your machine quilting table or a shelf. This one available in 3 BRIGHT COLORS for $23

 

    The FLOOR LIGHT is a good height for chairside or near your sewing machine or ironing board. The floor light comes in WHITE or BLACK for only $59.

Wonderful WOVEN COTTON Fusible INTERFACING

This fusible interfacing we keep in stock is just wonderful!
It is WOVEN Cotton--like fabric
NOT papery whatever interfacing
It Fuses by ironing beautifully
It has a smooth adhesive side(can you see the sheen?)--
NOT lumpy dots
It is 44" wide
NOT 22"
Available in BLACK or WHITE
We love using this iron-on interfacing when making Mary Beth's WOW Bag--
It is easy to use and is a versatile light to medium weight.
It is the perfect fusible stabilizer for making T Shirt quilts.
It works perfectly in garment sewing too!
The 44" width lets you cut the size you need without "piecing".
WE LOVE IT!!!
It's WOVEN--It's COTTON--It's FUSIBLE
It's PERFECT!!!
