Top 3 Holiday Stocking Stuffers for Crafters

1. Roxanne's Glue Baste-It: This is a must-have tool for new sewers and experienced seamstresses alike. A water-soluble glue with a fine tip for making tiny dots, you can literally glue seams or applique together before sewing for pin-free sewing. It's especially great for tricky shoulder seams and curves or applique; and when you're done, it just rinses away!
2. Bulk Colored Buttons by the Pound: With the popularity of button-themed crafts popping up all over Pinterest, Etsy and craft shows, you won't want to miss our selection of buttons by the pound. Available in a rainbow of colors including ivory and black, look no further for easy access to supplies for making button monograms or wreaths.
3. Sulky KK2000 Temporary Spray Adhesive: We already covered glue baste for seams, but Sulky KK2000 is the Cadillac of air-soluble temporary basting spray. Use it to hold quilt layers together while pinning, keep applique pieces firmly in place without pins or hold pattern pieces in place for tracing without pattern weights - plus, it's repositionable, so you can pick up templates and replace them as needed while you work without pins getting in the way.
