Let’s dive in! 👇

KARIN’S FAVORITES ✂️

✨ MUST HAVES  ✨

CutterPillar Ultra Glow Light Board

Light is everything in quilting — accurate cuts, true colors, and fewer “oops I trimmed the wrong side” moments. The Ultra is big enough for a full fat quarter, and the included self-healing mat means your cuts land exactly where you want them. A true workhorse.

Guggenhein 9" Tailor Shears

Even if you love rotary cutters, sometimes scissors are the only way. These shears are incredibly sharp, balanced, and precise right to the tip.

Fabric Organizer Boards & Bins

Life-changing for fabric stashes. Suddenly you can see what you own — no more mystery piles or accidentally re-buying fabric. Neat, tidy, and (bonus!) beautiful.

🔧 GAME-CHANGERS 🔧

Flying Geese Tool

Perfect flying geese without the frustration. Pair it with the CutterPillar Swivel and you’ll feel like a quilting wizard.

CutterPillar Swivel Rotating Cutting Mat

Squaring up blocks at weird angles? This solves it. Spin. Trim. Done. Once you use it, you’ll never quilt without it again.

Bias Tape Maker

Looks simple, works miracles. Perfectly folded bias tape with no burned fingers, crooked edges, or frustration. Ideal for quilt binding, garments, or bags.

🎄 STOCKING STUFFERS 🎄

Soak Flatter Smoothing Spray

Starch-free, smells amazing (Pineapple Grove = perfection), and gives you crisp, accurate blocks.

Rifle Paper Co Holiday Fat Quarter Bundle

Beautiful, gift-ready, and universally loved.

Needle Minder

Cute, magnetic, and wildly practical. Prevents rolling needles… and surprise “foot piercings.” Every sewist needs one.

 LINDSEY’S FAVORITES🧵

✨ MUST HAVES  ✨

CutterPillar Premium II Light Board

Lindsey’s #1 pick! Lightweight, cordless, portable, and big enough for most sewing and craft projects. Three brightness levels + metal plates for magnets = perfection for piecing, tracing, or applique.

CutterPillar Tempered Glass Crafting Board

An absolute dream for pressing. Pair it with your light board for maximum visibility, or use it for glue, paint, and kid crafts — it wipes clean every time.

Quilt Clips

Small but mighty. Great for binding, holding stacks of fabric, organizing quilt pieces, and avoiding finger stabs from pins.

🔧 GAME-CHANGERS 🔧

Fabric Tube Turners

If you ever make straps, ties, drawstrings, or decorative bows — these are life-savers. Fast, frustration-free, and so satisfying.

Tailor Clapper

Lindsey’s newest obsession. Use it after pressing for crisp seams, smooth finishes, and professional-quality results.

Rubber Broom

Thread. Scraps. Pet hair. This broom picks it all up without clogging your vacuum. A craft-room essential you never knew you needed.

🎄 STOCKING STUFFERS 🎄

CutterPillar Flex Light

Cordless, bright, bendable, and universally useful. Every crafter loves this tool — truly the perfect stocking stuffer.

Extra Sewing Machine Needles

Practical but always appreciated. Sewists go through needles faster than they realize!

CutterPillar Gift Card

Let them choose the tool they’ve been eyeing. Easy, thoughtful, and guaranteed to be used.
