Best of Madam Sew - Quilter's Edition - 10 Tool Bundle

Celebrate nine years of Madam Sew with the Quilter's Edition of our Best Of collection — ten fan-favorite tools chosen specifically for the quilting workflow, from the first rotary cut to the signed label on the finished quilt.

Cut and square your blocks from one comfortable position on the 360° Rotating Cutting Mat with the 45mm Rotary Cutter. Mark exact ¼" sewing lines with the Quarter Inch Patchwork Ruler Set — and mark dark fabrics clearly with the White Heat Erasable Pen, whose lines vanish the moment you press. The Non-Slip Rings keep every ruler you own from sliding, the Jumbo Clamps hold layers and quilt sandwiches firmly, and the 100% New Zealand wool Pressing Mat sets every seam crisp and flat. When the last stitch is in, sign your work in brick red with the "Handmade By" Fabric Stamp and Permanent Ink Pad, and file your patterns away in the Carry-All Binder Bag until the next quilt calls.

Ten quilting essentials. One bundle. Nine years of favorites.

Why You'll Love It

• The Quilting Workflow, Start to Finish — Cut (rotating mat + rotary cutter), mark (¼" rulers + white heat-erasable pen), hold (clamps + non-slip rings), press (wool mat), sign (stamp + red ink), and store (binder bag). Every stage of a quilt covered by a fan favorite.
• Cut and Square From One Position — The 12"×12" Rotating Cutting Mat spins 360° on a lockable base, and the 45mm cutter's symmetrical handle suits right- and left-handed quilters. Squaring blocks stops being a workout.
• Mark Any Fabric, Light or Dark — The Quarter Inch Patchwork Rulers mark exact ¼" and ½" lines, and the fine-tip White Heat Erasable Pen shows clearly on dark and deep-coloured fabrics — then vanishes completely with the heat of your iron. No washing, no scrubbing.
• Press Like the Quilt Deserves — The 100% felted New Zealand wool mat absorbs and radiates heat through both sides of the fabric, setting seams flatter and crisper than any ironing board cover.
• Sign Nine Years of Craft Into Every Quilt — The "Handmade By" stamp and brick red heat-set ink put your name and date permanently on every finished quilt — the kind of detail that turns a project into an heirloom.

1. Prepare your rulers. Apply the transparent Non-Slip Rings to the back of any rulers and templates that need better grip — including rulers from other brands you already own.
2. Cut and square on the rotating mat. Place your fabric or pressed block on the Rotating Cutting Mat (unlocked). Trim one side with the 45mm rotary cutter along your ruler, then spin the mat to bring the next side into position. Lock the mechanism to use it as a standard mat.
3. Mark your piecing lines. Use the 9" or 17" Quarter Inch Patchwork Ruler to mark exact ¼" and ½" sewing lines. On dark fabrics, mark with the White Heat Erasable Pen — allow a few seconds for the white ink to appear.
4. Clamp your layers. Use the Jumbo Clamps to hold quilt sandwiches together while basting, secure rolled quilts, or anchor layers to the table edge.
5. Press every seam on the wool mat. The dense wool radiates heat through both sides of the fabric for crisp, flat blocks. Your pen marks disappear under the same iron — press at 180°F/80°C or above and they vanish completely.
6. Sign the finished quilt. Press the "Handmade By" stamp onto the brick red ink pad, stamp your label area, write your name and date, and heat-set with a hot iron to make it permanent.
7. File and store. Patterns, instructions, and templates go into the Carry-All Binder Bag's built-in binder and seven zip pockets — organized and visible until the next quilt.
