Our Heat Erasable Fabric Marking Pen Refills come in a mix pack of all four colors (five of each) or single packs of each color. You choose!

Just like with our Heat Erasable Fabric Marking Pens, these refills have small, accurate writing points that leave a thin yet nicely visible line and work extraordinarily well on nearly all fabrics. The line stays visible for as long as you want and the unique gel ink in these refills VANISH EASILY with just a hot iron. Yet unlike tailors’ chalk, our sewing fabric marking pens won’t rub away before you’ve completed your project.

These pens can be used as refills but we have quite a few customers using them as pens, appreciating their small size and budget price. So it is up to you: use them as pens or use them as refills for the pens that come in our Heat Erasable Fabric Marking Pen Set (a set of 4 pens in their own carrying pouch with pen caps that feature pocket clips).

USE THESE REFILLS WITHIN 5 MONTHS!

Specifications

• Writing Point: 0.7mm
• Writing Width: 0.35mm
• Comes without a shell (compact)
• Special Heat Erasable Gel Ink

Based on your choice, YOU GET the following in your pack...

• Mixed Pack - 5 refills of each color for a total of 20 refills
• White Pack - 10 refills
• Blue Pack- 10 refills
• Red Pack- 10 refills
• Black Pack- 10 refills

Instructions & More

We recommend storing Heat Erasable Pens and Refills tip down when not in use. 

Create your lines and when finished sewing, etc., just use a hot iron to iron over the marks and make the ink disappear. There’s no need to pre-treat and launder fabric to remove ghost lines. 

USE YOUR PENS WITHIN 5 MONTHS: the pens write with a terrific, high-tech sort of gel which disappears with heat, making them the best fabric markers you’ll ever have. This comes at a price, though, as the special gel ink doesn’t stay fresh forever. Your pens will do their phenomenal thing for a minimum of 5 months, yet then they may start drying out.

This Lighted Seam Ripper has a built-in LED light on the head that illuminates the sharp tip of the seam ripper to make sure you can see those unwanted stitches clearly and unpick them fast and accurately.

This stitch ripper also has a larger handle than standard unpickers. The rubber band at the end of the handle ensures a more ergonomic grip. If you find the small rippers hard to hold on to, this tool might be the right choice for you!

Quickly slip through even the toughest and tiniest seams. You’ll rip seams quickly, easily, and safely. A seam ripper is one of the most essential tools in your sewing box for taking out stitches. It is certainly a life saver to have one around when things don't go as planned.

Use the Overcast Presser Foot, a universal sewing machine attachment, in combination with an overcasting stitch to get neatly finished edges. With this foot, overlock or overcasting stitches will bind the edge of the fabric perfectly to prevent it from fraying. The end result looks like the finished edges that a serger creates! 

The overcast foot features 

• a guide bar at the side to keep the fabric in line and 

• a bridge in the middle to make sure the stitches lay flat. 

Your overcasting stitches are created right on the edge and your fabric will not bunch up or pucker. Varying zig zag and overlock stitch widths can be used with this foot. Most home sewing machines have at least 1 or 2 built-in overlock/overcast stitches. It can also be used for stretch and knit fabrics.

If you go back and forth between wanting a serger and being happy with your sewing machine, first take your chance on the overcast presser foot. You will be glad you did because this foot really works (and you can use the money you saved on fabric :-) The only difference is that the overcast foot does not cut the fabric like a serger. 

Even people that own a serger sometimes prefer using an overcast foot over their serger. A serger can be a pain to set up and thread with a new color. You will definitely gain time when you want to change the thread color to finish a project's edge!

Use your home sewing machine like a serger!

This Presser Foot is also included in our top-of-the-line 32 pcs Presser Foot Set.

Specifications

The overcast presser foot is a universal snap on sewing machine attachment that fits on most low shank home sewing machine brands.

On some brands or models you might need an adapter to be able to attach and use this presser foot. Read our complete article about shanks, adapters and presser feet to learn if you need an adapter for your specific sewing machine and if so, which one.

Instructions & More

• Go slow - the needle does have to go back and forth over the vertical metal piece, but gives a very even stitch.

• Cut your seam allowance down to ¼  inch if your seam allowances is ½  - ⅝  inch. 

• There is a bar in the center of the presser foot that controls the stitches. Be careful when you finish sewing and go to remove your fabric, as the last few stitches will be caught over this bar. Pull the fabric away from you, toward the back of your sewing machine, in order to free the thread from the bar. Otherwise, you might tear or distort the last few stitches.

For more information about the use of this presser foot, go to our online user instructions about the overcast presser foot.

You can use it to temporarily press your seams enough so you can keep on quilting (including paper piecing) or sewing. No more having to get up and down repeatedly to go to your iron and pressing mat. You’ll also save your fingernails as you won’t have to use them as a makeshift press.

When you need to set small seams, the wood roller can be used as a mini tailor’s clapper.

In addition, the Rolling Seam Presser can be used in paper crafting, scrapbooking and more!

And, the lightweight plastic handle and wood roller makes it easy to toss the Rolling Seam Presser into your project bag when you want to use it on the go.

Uses

• Temporarily press seams when sewing, quilting or paper piecing
• As a mini clapper
• Press seams on cards
• Scrapbooking
• Mini, tight spot, wallpaper roller (in a pinch - as you may not be able to use again for crafting if glue gets on it)

Specifications

• Made of lightweight plastic and lightweight wood
  
• Total Length = 7.4 inches (18.8cm)
• Handle length = 5.9 inches (15cm)
• Roller part length = 1.5 inches (3.8cm)

Directions

The silicone this Iron Rest withstands the heat of a hot iron soleplate and protects the surface underneath.

The Iron Rest provides a place to rest your iron safely while rearranging fabric on your ironing board. And, resting your iron on its soleplate is safer and steadier than resting it on its heel, especially if you are working on a wobbly ironing board.

Plus, you can work faster, with less wrist strain while you iron because you don’t have to twist the iron up and down on its heel.

You can set the iron flat for a moment instead of having to stand it up. Use it to let your iron cool down on the pad, or even put it down flat for longer periods of time. The raised dots of the Iron Rest will cool your iron faster.

This low-tech and simple design is very durable.

Specifications

Material: 100% Silicone

Dimension: 10 ¾  x 5 ¾ x ⅜ inch

Heat Resistant → best if used between -4ºF to 392ºF (-20℃ to 200℃)

This sewing ruler is a 6 inch long aluminum gauge with a red sliding guide. Use it to quickly and consistently measure short spaces when sewing or quilting. Measuring correctly can have an enormous impact on the look of any sewing project!

You can set the measurement with the spacer and easily and quickly measure ⅝”, ¼” or ¾” hems or seam allowances. Long tape measures can easily get in the way when making these short measurements. The risk of making mistakes is much greater with regular sewing or quilting rulers. The set plastic spacer is a life saver here!

The unique gel ink of the blue Madam Sew Fabric Pen makes clear and accurate marks on fabrics and disappears after ironing. It is truly Amazing to see! And a real game changer because you don’t have to wash it out or worry that it will fade before you are finished with your project.

Our fabric marking pen has a small, accurate writing point that leaves a thin yet nicely visible line and works extraordinarily well on nearly all fabrics. So what you get is a thin, accurate and clearly visible mark that stays visible for as long as you want it and is removed with an easy pass of a hot iron. A must-have for all sewists and quilters!

Like all marking products, there are important things you need to consider before using them. Read the “Important” items found on the Instructions & More tab.

INSTRUCTIONS and more

For detailed instructions and a tutorial video, visit our online manual about the Heat Erasable Fabric Marking Pens. We pride ourselves on making clear instructions for all of our products so you always get the best out of your sewing and quilting tools.

USE THE PEN WITHIN 5 MONTHS!

Your pen performs spectacularly for at least FIVE months, then the special gel ink may start to dry out.

We suggest that you always put the cap firmly back on if you are not using the pen. Unlike other pens, such as writing pens, you can’t leave this special pen sitting around uncapped. It is also helpful to store the pen pointed end down.

Order refills only when you run out, so you always have an ultra-fresh fabric marking pen!! :-)

Important:

• Always test these pens on scraps of ALL fabrics you will be using in your quilt as ghost marks can appear on some fabrics after ironing.

• If you accidentally forget to test and this happens (we did occasionally) then the product we recommend to make the marks disappear is Amodex®.

• Do not use these pens on the Top of a show quilt as the marks can appear again if the quilt is exposed to low temperatures during shipment or storage. See online manual for details.

These super sharp, all-metal, spring-action, Premium Thread Snips cut sewing threads quickly with minimal effort. Because of the spring mechanism they are in an open position which means you can clip threads easily and fast.

Use thread snips to trim threads for sewing, quilting, embroidery, punch needle, dressmaking and crafting. Using regular scissors dulls them unnecessarily and creates a dead spot because you only use a small part of the blades. Instead, just grab these solid metal thread snips and clip away!

The Madam Sew Premium Thread Snips are very durable and designed to last a long time. We guarantee that the edges will stay sharp. These sewing scissors come with a cap so you can also toss them in your project bag! In addition, they are small enough to fit in most sewing machine cabinet drawers, so they’re always close by.

Specifications

✂ DIMENSIONS: overall length: 4.7 inches, blades: 1.2 inches

✂ MATERIALL: premium stainless steel. 

✂ WEIGHT: 3.2 ounces

Instructions & More

The Premium Thread Snips fit comfortably in your hand and are designed for quick and easy snipping. Regular scissors are heavy and require a much bigger effort to clip little threads. These are a must-have for people with arthritis as they are ergonomic and easy on your hands. Insert your middle, ring finger or pinkie into the loop, your thumb goes on top and index finger below. This way you stabilize these solid snips, allowing you to cut accurately through different materials.

The Invisible Zipper Foot is very different from a standard zipper foot. The invisible zipper foot has 2 grooves at the bottom of the foot which holds the zipper coils in place while you stitch. This creates even stitches that are very close to the zipper coil. The result is a flat finish with invisible fastening.

The invisible zipper foot makes the process of sewing an invisible zipper MUCH easier and faster. It’s even easier to insert an invisible zipper than setting in a regular zipper!

You can only use this foot with an invisible zipper. An invisible zipper is a zipper with very fine teeth that are not visible from the front– the zipper teeth are visible from the back of the zipper, but not from the top. So, when installed correctly, the zipper is completely concealed.

Use the invisible zipper foot to insert an invisible zipper in a dress, a skirt, or even a decor pillow.

This foot will save you time and energy and you’ll get great results!

This Presser Foot is also included in our top-of-the-line 32 pcs Presser Foot Set.
