Quilting Tool of the Month: Klutz Glove
The Quilting Tool of the Month is.....The Klutz Glove from Fons and Porter! (Over the holidays I was talking to Elizabeth about how I've discovered a few sewing and quilting tools that I find super helpful and that I wanted to talk about them....and so we decided that it would be fun to spotlight one tool we love every month in 2016 and this month it's the Klutz Glove.) The first time I ever saw one of these gloves I was hanging out with Melissa from The Polka Dot Chair while she was ... View the Post
