The slick surface of the mat will allow a quilter to do free motion quilting easily and smoothly.

Another feature of this mat is the cut-out for the needle to go through without messing with the mat.

15. Fons & Porter Design Wall

Check the latest price here==>

If you are serious about quilt making or know someone who is, this flannel design wall hanging could be the perfect gift.

Since it is made from flannel, quilting cotton will stick to it without using pins or clips. The top of the wall hanging has a line of grommets you can hang on hooks or nails on any wall of your home.

16. Clover Hot Press Perfect Ruler

Check the latest price here==>

This nifty little ruler is made from a heat-resistant nylon material intended to create the perfect hem when you need to press your hemline before sewing. The ruler measures 2 ½”x10” and can be used with a dry or steam iron which is great for many different sewing projects. 

The surface of the ruler has a non-slip coating, so it won’t slip and slide on your fabric while you are pressing your seams. Not only is this excellent for creating hems, but it can also be used to create mitered corners.

---

17. Clover Point 2 Point Turner

Check the latest price here==>

Another quilting notion by Clover, this tool is meant to be used for point turning, but a quilter can also use it to mark quilting lines. You could also use a Clover Hera marker for marking quilting lines. 

With minimal pressure, using the rounded end, you simply press and run the point turner over your fabric to mark where you want to quilt on your quilting project. I personally use a Hera marker for almost all of my quilt projects and LOVE it. This point-turner is on my Christmas wish list!

18. Taylor Seville Original Comfort Grip Magic Pins

Check the latest price here==>

Small but mighty, these fine point patchwork pins are a fabulous addition to any quilter’s stash of tools and notions. The ends of the pins have a comfort grip which makes it easier to place and remove the pins in and out of fabric. 

They are also heat resistant, so if you want to press seams in a specific direction, you can place the pins in your project and not worry about melting the grips of the pins.

The clear case comes with a 50-piece set of pins. These are perfect for travel, whether you like to sew while on vacation or travel to different quilt guild activities.

---

19. Ibotti Curved Safety Pins

Check the latest price here==>

I don’t know about you, but I prefer pin basting my quilts. Sure regular safety pins work, but have you ever tried curved safety pins? The curve in the pins makes it much easier to push the pin through several layers of a quilt. 

This set is a 100 piece set of size two basting pins. Size 2 pins are recommended for high loft batting quilts but would also work with lower loft batting such as cotton batting.

20. Handi Quilter Zinger Retractable Scissor Holder

Check the latest price here==>

How many times have you said or heard someone say while they are in the middle of working on a quilt project, “Now, where did I put my scissors?” I think I speak for all quilters and say it is a constant struggle to find the scissors (especially our snips.) 

With this retractable scissor holder, you won’t have to waste time searching for your scissors anymore. Cool, right? You simply pin it to your shirt and then snap in your scissors, and you’re good to go! The retractable cord is 38” long. 

---

21. Personalized Satin Sewing Labels

Check the latest price here==>

I know buying gifts for quilters who have everything can be a struggle, but I would 100% recommend getting these adorable personalized sewing labels for that special quilter in your life. Every quilter should put labels on their quilts, so decades from now, someone will know who made that gorgeous masterpiece.

These labels are completely customizable, including wording, color, font, and you can choose what little image is printed next to the lettering. 

---

22. Machingers Quilting Support Gloves

Check the latest price here==>

I personally have these gloves, and they work like a dream for free motion quilting. Your hands won’t get too hot, and the fabric has just enough grip to move the quilt smoothly under your needle without being too slippery. 

These gloves come in four different sizes: extra small, small, medium/large, and extra-large. Not only do these gloves help grip the quilt for smooth FMQ, but they also give your hands and wrists support, which is extremely important if you suffer from arthritis or other hand pain. 

---

23. HONEYSEW Quilting Templates

Check the latest price here==>

Quilting gifts can be tricky to purchase when you aren’t sure what someone may use, but trust me, if you buy these for a quilter, they will for sure try these with glee! Free motion quilting can be intimidating, especially if you will attempt it with a domestic machine, but it can be so much easier and more fun with these templates. 

This set comes with eight unique templates to try out different FMQ designs. These templates are great because they have a non-slip layer on the bottom, so they won’t slip on the fabric, which is a huge bonus. 

---

24. Moda Fabric Scrap Bag

Check the latest price here==>

These fun scrap bags are another terrific choice to get someone who probably has every quilting notion they could want. This is also a great option if you know they like to make “scrappy” quilts and use lots of small, colorful pieces in their quilts. 

The bags are packaged by weight and will weigh between 10-12 ounces, and have a variety of sizes measuring between 2”-6” in width and up to 17” long. All fabric put into these scrap bags is going to be 100% cotton, perfect for quilts.

25. Madam Sew Sew Bright LED Sewing Machine Strip Light

Check the latest price here==>

You can never have too much light under your sewing machine, and this LED strip light from Madam Sew will brighten up your work area. Unlike other sewing room lights, this light is on a strip and can stick directly to your sewing machine. The strip light comes with adhesive on the back, which you can place onto pretty much any domestic sewing machine. 

What if the strip is too long? No problem — just cut off the excess. It also has a dimmer switch, so if it’s a bit too bright for you at some points of the day, you can quickly dim the light with a small switch.
