Order any of our quilting patterns HERE
We also started a collaboration with a wonderful haberdashery and fabric store in Melbourne, Australia, called L'Uccello. L'Uccello has designed a wonderful set of sewing accessories using our fabric collection. Inside each pattern is a full size pattern that you can use to make up these lovely beauties.
I was introduced to L'Uccello by a mother-daughter team who come to France with us each summer...they own a lovely quilting shop (also in Australia!) called Hettie's Patch. I love it when the perfect opportunity happens and everyone comes together at just the right moment...that's what happened with L'Uccello....and we are looking forward to their upcoming Petite Patterns in the future!
Order our Petite Pattern with L'Uccello HERE
We also designed a special quilt kit that is only available through French General and only if you act fast...

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 523 Newer› Newest»Red glasses to check value, just fun!
My newest is the green handled Karen Kay Buckley small scissors. She has a great line of scissors so if yo haven't any in your notion line-up please give them a try.
I;m sure this is more of an essential than a gadget - but my rotary cutter! I would not, could not be a quilter without it.
My favorite is my seam ripper with the rubber end. It really gets the thread out so no more picking!
I have always liked the tube style containers -- made of wood or plastic -- for keeping my specialty needles safe. I think that a folder or stand with several of these needle holders would be a great idea.
The GADGET I use the most lately is a seam ripper with a sickle like blade. Super-thin and super-sharp to slide under stitches to correct
HST mistakes. Practice makes perfect they say and I'm practicing lots. How romantic your fabric designs!! Blue is my favorite color. Thank you for the chance to win some fabric.
I love the clover clips. They are great
Shawn
My newest favorite are Wonder Clips--great for holding hexies together. Also, my "little" thread catcher made for me by a wonderful friend--do a lot of hand applique.
My latest gadget is my twister tool.
my latest is the add a quarter ruler that I bought for a paper piecing class and have developed a way to use it on templates.
My favorite new gadget are Karen Kay Buckley perfect circles ! Oh how I can now applique circles ! Love your fabrics. I am making a wall hanging now using them.
One of my favorite new tools is the new seam gauge put out by Clover...it has multiple uses.
My favorite new gadget is my Olfa Splash rotary cutter. It fits my hand in a great way.
My favorite gadget is the metal stiletto from Elenor Burns shop.
My favorite new gadget is the Q-tools Sewing Edge purple repositionable vinyl tape to mark my quarter inch seam allowance. Thanks for the giveaway! Lana
I am in love with your newest fabrics, but then I've loved ALL your fabrics! My favorite gadget are Snippers - Those tiny little spring type "scissors" I use them instead of my old seam ripper. The blades are small enough to fit under the stitches and it's so easy to squeeze them to clip the thread. So much easier and faster! I started using them with machine embroidery, then discovered how useful they are for regular sewing!
My favorite gadget is the threadcutter for traveling.
Just bought The Binding Tool by TQM products. It has made binding quilts easier.
Love my Karen Kay Buckley's small scissors, make cutting for appliqué a breeze.
I just got a standing design wall and I love it.
my favorite gadget is the Kwik Klip...saves my fingertips when pin-basting my quilt sandwich!
I have discovered Clover Wonderclips! I love the letter G - it means GOOD!
I love my new pilot pen - I use it on fabrics, my daughter and son on paper :)
I have found "The Angler 2" that attaches to the "bed" of my sewing machine, has REALLY helped me with making straight and accurate 1/4" stitches.
My favorite new gadget is the clover binding clips. Don't know how I got along without them.
My new gadget love is the Seams Right seam ripper. Works like a charm. I loved meeting you at quilt market in Houston - you are very inspiring!
My favourite gadget that goes with me to every retreat or stitching day is That Purple Thang. Small but mighty tool. Great for turning points and corners; works as a stiletto, but easier on the machine if a needle hits it; it has a 1/4" guide at the top and is slotted for running lace or elastic through a hem. Great all around tool for about $3.00! The only way they could improve it, would be to make it in RED instead of purple...lol
My favorite gadget is my led light.
I really like my glue stick to use with machine binding...it makes it easy!
My favorite new gadget is the Quick Quarter II that Sherri McConnell told us about. It's awesome!
Love the new fabric! The Espalier quilt is stunning!
My favorite new gadget is my pressing ham. I don't know how I sewed for so many years without one.
My favorite gadget of all time is called a Fast Turner System. I bought it years ago and everyone who uses it or sees me use it is amazed at how quickly one can turn fabric tubes right way out. Love it.
My Sewline needle threader makes it possible to thread small hand sewing needles in a jiffy.
My favorite new gadgets are my large & small Karen Buckley scissors - pure heaven!
Beautiful "G" banner! My newest favorite gadget is the little rotary cutter that goes on your index finger... it is so handy cutting out applique pieces. Thanks for the chance to win some great things!
my favorite gadget is the accu quilt cutter, even though i dont have one but would love to have one. anyone got one they would take payments on? lol babscorbitt@gmail.com
My favorite gadget is a Bias Bars from the Celtic Design Company. I took a quilt class with Penny Tucker and she taught us how to make the basket handle on the bias using the bar. They are easy to use and come out crisp and perfect!
Thanks, Colette
A tiny rotary cutter which is perfect for those tiny pieces!!
Gadget…hum…..my favorite gadget, though not new, is always a high quality seam ripper!
My favourite new gadget is my rotary mat for cutting by clover. It's really useful to cut honey comb pieces, triangles, small squares, circles, and so on

Love the light that attaches to my sewing machine. Thanks for the giveaway. Love all your fabric.
I am a hand piecer/appliquer so I always have needles threaded and ready to go...my fav notion is the Clover Desk top needle threader. It goes perfectly with my fishing lure leader to store my threaded needles.
A Lazy Susan cutting board is my latest fun gadget. It's great for cutting out hexagons.
My favorite gadget that is on my wish- list right now is a mini- iron for pressing many little seams without as many casualties to my fingertips.
Binding clips are the best!
I simply cannot live without my "purple thang" - it's a plastic stylette with a pointy end and a flattened end. It's great for feeding fabric through the machine without getting your fingers too close.
39522883235My favorite new gadget is the Curvemaster foot. Really nice.
I love my ott lights. I have one for hand work while sitting on the sofa and one next to my sewing machine. It makes everything bright!
I have recently used my flying geese ruler from Eleanor Burns. It is not a new tool or even new to me but I just used it for the first time. It works great!
My favorite gadget is a tiny hook crochet hook. You can use it to grab that thread that your fingers are to big for, tie knots, push fabric through a machine, pock out corners, etc.
24Tangent@gmail.com
My favorite new tool is a rigid ironing surface my husband and I made from a piece of leftover wood from our kitchen cabinets. Both sides are laminated and we squared it up, covered it with batting and a piece of fabric. LOVE IT!
My favorite new gadget is the Clover Wonder Clips. I'm finding so many uses for them. Thanks for the chance to win.
Don't know if this can be considered a gadget, but I love my Accuquilt GO. Thank you for the opportunity to win such a great prize.
Oh always so in love with French General Fabrics - your patterns are just beautiful and show off those fabrics nicely -- thanks for sharing. At Christmas I bought a new Gadget -- it's a ripper that has a eraser type end on it that easily pulls the ripped thread from the fabric. I don't remember the exact name of it but it definitely comes in handy -- as will that beautiful FG fabric when it arrives ;) Oh happy days... have a wonderful week! Karen
Lynette Anderson has two tools for applique, "Apliquick Rods". I just got them and the glue pen. fat quarter shop sponsored a tutorial with these. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHMi6DrPGRQ Thanks crystalbluern at onlineok dot com
It's simple, but I love my seam ripper. I hope not to make mistakes, but without it, I would be in big trouble!
Cindy Shoop has a new favorite gadget and it is the 1/4" Grip Strips added to my favorite cutting rulers to help hold the ruler in place and not slip as I cut.
Hi,Love my "Lil Twister" template rulers! So neat! Thanks for sharing!
SusiElasS19@yahoo.com

My favorite new gadget is s new seam ripper....makes things so much easier.
Can it be a gadget I want to try? Although, I'm not sure if triangle papers count as a gadget. Still anything to make a hst easier is a win in my book.
My favorite gadget is my rotary cutter. I really don't own many gadgets at all. Thanks for sharing your pattern and banner with us.
My newest favourite gadget is a Crumbler ruler from Miss Rosie -in two sizes - for cutting thimbles. I can see several thimble quilts in my future.
Does the gadget have to start with a "D"? I think my favorite gadget at the moment is my laptop with its internet connection. There are so many wonderful blogs out there which provide so much inspiration. When I can spare the time, I go blog hopping and afterwards feel as though I have been to a quilt show. So fun.
My favorite gadget is my rotary cutter, so glad we don't have to cut everything with scissors!

My favorite gadget is the magnifying glass that fits on my sewing machine. It really makes seeing what I'm sewing so much easier. As we got older, seeing the details becomes more challenging and this really helps!
Cathy ♥

My vintage bottonhole scissors that I found years ago in a box of old sewing notions.
Rotary cutter. Can't live without it.

My favorite new gadget is an LED light on a goose neck to attach to my sewing machine, so I can see the throat plate where all the action happens! I'd love to win some of this fabric!
Although my rotary cutter is by far the most used item in my sewing room,{besides my machine} I like to use a shortened kabob skewer for poking out points and helping to push or hold fabric that I am sewing. They come in handy for a lot of things!
My most recent gadget is the Seam Fix seam ripper. I love those rubber tips that really do "erase" all the little threads after an error is apart.
My favorite gadget is my humongous cutting board that doubles as a floor mat in my sewing room. It is so nice to have a large cutting surface!!!

The gadget I am loving right now is my Towa bobbin gauge for my longarm.
Fave new gadget: Darlene Zimmerman's Easy Dresden Template Ruler. It is easy, fast, and fun to blast through my scraps cutting hundreds of wedges to save for future Dresden scrappy projects.

Oh I'm totally boring, really don't go for gadgets. More of a simple girl. My friend got me a chalk pencil I like, since I was using a pencil before :) I've been wanting to try those clover binding clips though.

My favorite new gadget is my Frixion pen. Love it for marking quilts.
I still use my seam ripper the most. I take out embroidery and needle point stitches and use to pull fleece though the hole in 'tying' blankets.

My favorite new gadget is the Busyhands rotary cutting mat - just turn it around like a lazy susan to cut without moving the ruler and fabric - easy peasy! Thanks for the chance to win!
I have recently discovered the rotating cutting board it is great. Yeah I know as usual probably everyone already knows about this little gem but it was new to me and a major time saver for trimming blocks.
My newest gadgets are the Clover binding clips. I love them!
My favorite gadget is hexagon quilt patis! I'm working on my first english paper piecing project and the plastic templates seem so much sturdier than paper.

Sandy A
My new favorite gadget is my wooden seam ripper that my friend's husband made. It feels so good in my hand and makes the seam ripping chore a pleasure. I'd like to see more pretty seam rippers on the market (you know we all use them!) maybe with handles that could match new fabric lines!

These days there are so many gadgets to pick from. My newest is the half hexie 10"
Maggey
My favorite new gadget is the binding clips. Love your fabric.
I have a couple new favorite gadgets. One being the Richard Hemming needles. I've had to start using readers to do any hand work, so threading a needle had become too hard. These needles have big eyes, so no more needle threader to carry around. Also, the Sewline fabric pencil and glue pen.
My favourite new gadget is a Bobbin Box made by Dritz. It holds 28 bobbins and they never unwind.
My favorite gadgets are my set of Omnigrid square templets (12.5, 9.5, 6.5 & 4.5"). So useful for so many things!
I love my ipad...It is THE best gadget... allows me to Netflix while quilting...look up tutorials and how to!! Love it!!

Donna

NEW gadget? Well, new to ME are binder clips! Great invention to replace pinning through multiple layers, to provide straight lines for sewing, and to remove easily as I go along.
My favourite new gadget is my new "Glasses Pin". It is a handmade polymer clay quilt motif pin that I can put the arm of my magnifier glasses through as I hop up & down from my sewing machine to my iron.
Sandi H
My newest gadget is a 60 degree ruler.

I love my Bloc Loc ruler for squaring up HSTs.
I'm going to France in the Spring and love your French Bouquet fabric and quilt...wish I could purchase the kit... saving for trip. I'm afraid I really like all the basic tools and haven't found any recently to acquire...
I have several I can't live without, like my Ott Light and my rotary cutter, but a friend recently gave me some binding clips and a needle threader and I am sure they will both become my new BFFs!
Right now I really like the Sewline calk pen.
My new ruler from Creative grids, love them.
Lively new line you have, i just think it is sew pretty!!
My favorite gadget has to be my rotary cutter! I have 3 sizes but the 45mm is the one I use most. Love your beautiful fabrics!
Well, it's not so much a help for sewing as it is for cutting. It's a template called 'You Hexie Thing', that lets you cut out various sizes of hexagons, but is clear so you can also fussy cut if you want. There are other hex templates out there, but this one suits me more!
I just got a Quilters Magic Wand and love it! My all-time favorite is my rotary cutter and rulers!
I recently got the Strip Stick as a gift and I love using it for pressing seams.
I recently discovered the Hera marking tool and I have no idea how I ever quilted without one.
My favorite NEW gadget is the "seam fix" seam ripper. It really works great in getting out those small threads!
Plain old school glue for appliqe and small pieces that are hard to Pi
Nifty Notions surgical seam ripper is my favorite gadget. As a new-ish quilter, I do a fair amount of ripppppping and this tool makes it (almost) painless.
Gadget..hmmm...I love the double wedding ring templates I just got..haha I know that's not really a gadget but it's a novelty to me. Does that count? ;)
homespunhandmaiden(at)yahoo(dot)com
My sweet husband surprised me with an iPad a few weeks after we got married. I love being able to look at all the fabric websites and blogs without having to fire up the computer! I know, I know... Welcome to today's technology!
The newest tool that is very helpful is the Clover iron safe. It not only protects your iron but helps protect against any scorch spots.
My favorite tool is my Gingher embroidery scissors that I use to snip threads when I am sewing.
My latest favorite gadget is the bloc loc HST ruler for squaring up HST's. Your G Banner is wonderful, thanks for sharing.
Non melt Mylar for appliqué templates. I use liquid starch and a small paintbrush to turn under 1/4 inch raw edge.
I LOVE your fabric and pattern, they are absolutely gorgeous. My favorite gadget, but it's not new, is the magnetic pin holder. I'd like to say that it's my favorite because it keeps my pins close by, but really it's because I can swipe it over the floor and all the pins that have fallen are magically picked up! Which also makes it my husbands favorite!

I love the Bloc Loc ruler for hst's!,

My favorite is my new OmniGrip ruler.
Love the new frixion pens they rock! disappear with heat!!!! thanks for the giveaway
My new favorite sewing gadget is actually an office supply: it is a retractable lanyard onto which I have attached my little scissors. I clip it on whatever I'm wearing and I'm all set! No more looking around for my snips!
Love your Mis en Scene quilt! Your whole line is so romantic!
My newest gadget is a Quick Quarter ruler. It makes sewing diagonals sew much easier.
I've used Clover wonder clips for binding ... but now I find them handy to hold my pieces together for my English Paper Piecing!
My favorite gadgets are the Frixion pen & my mechanical chalk pencil. Oh and my "Purple Thang" for turning out corners & such. I LOVE gadgets! A gal can never have too many!
I recently purchased a quarter inch sewing foot with a guide. As a new quilter, it makes me feel a little more at easy getting those pesky 1/4 seams just right.
My favorite gadget are my cheater glasses from the dry store. Amazing what happens when you can see:)
Thanks for the giveaway! Right now, I love the Hex N More Ruler and Clover Wonder Clips (for bindings).
My favorite gadgets, although not so new, are wonder clips and the binding "ruler"
My new fav quick point rulers. Love them & your fabric
I find my small rotating cutting mat from fiskars to be my favorite new tool. It increases my accuracy and safety by allowing me to turn the mat and not pick up the fabric pieces.
New to me is the Sewline Fabric Mechanical Pencil made by White. These pencils are terrific!!!
first and foremost your fabric is amazing! I don't think there is one I don't like. I have many. so keep up the beautiful work. One of my favorite gadgets is the Bloc Loc ruler. you can make 1/2 square triangles in no time. they even have flying geese now as well. if you search them on google there is a video demo.
My favorite gadget is my seam ripper. :(. Clover is the best I've found.
My favorite tool is the Omnigrid quilters travel case. I use it every day and bring it everywhere with me. It is perfect to keep all your hand work in and when sitting somewhere stitching it is my tabletop. I love it.
My new gadget is washable markers for making lines. Cheap and they wash out what's not to love.
My newest favorite tool is my Clover Hera Marker. I used it to help with my half square triangles. Works great.
I am not a quilter however I do adore fabrics and yours are gorgeous. My hands are my favorite tools that allow me to create. Joyful Bliss...
The cutting gizmo to cut threads when chain sewing. I also love my clover seam rippers.
My favorite gadget right now is 7" Dovo scissors I ordered from Primitive Gatherings Quilt Shop.
My sew line pencil. Goodness Gracious it makes me Giddy! Thank you for all the glorious fun :) Janita
I just started using Clover U shaped pins...LOVE THEM. Very fine, very sharp and they hold down both sides of a seam.
Thanks for the opportunity. I love your fabrics, patterns and jewelry! Oh, me oh my! Do I?! It's a little scary when my 13 year old boy can identify FG fabric from being dragged along to quilt stores . My. Favorite new gadget is a sharp pair of thread snips. So much easier than scissors!
