    Default Apliquilt tools alternative

    I watched the preview of Rosa Rojas on The Quilt Show doing a demo of her apliquilt tools. They look nice but my tools work well and they cost me .25 cents on the clearance bin at my supermarket for 4 . I am posting just in case someone else wants to try the method before investing $39.[ATTACH=CONFIG]563168[/ATTACH]

    Now this is a clever idea. I use a wooden chopstick as an applique tool or my small screw driver.

    It pays to think outside the box.

    Saw similar on Create and Craft on UK to and immediately thought lobster picks. It's amazing how somebody thinks aha a specialist tool, when a lot of people already have them, albeit for a different purpose lol
