Sewmotion
Quilt, cushion and EPP kits and patterns, EPP papers and fabric pre-cuts.
‘My collection of quilt, cushion and EPP kits are for the complete beginner right through to the more advanced. For example, my Beginners Quilt Kits include all the pre-cut squares, borders, binding and thread, making them perfect for someone who hasn’t yet invested in the cutting tools and just wants to have a go and see if this craft if for them. My quilt kits tend to be based on pre-cuts, so you’ll find that I have already pre cut the jelly roll or charm pack for you, so you can get on with the sewing straight away.’
