You don’t need dozens of specialty tools to start quilting – but knowing which tools truly matter (and when an upgrade is worth it) can make your quilting more accurate, more efficient, and much easier on your hands and wrists.
In my newest video, I walk through the core cutting and sewing essentials, plus thoughtful upgrades that can improve comfort, reduce frustration, and help you quilt longer.
We’ll cover:
- The core cutting tools every quilter needs
- How to choose the right cutting mat size
- How to check your cutting mat for accuracy
- Rotary cutters and ergonomic options
- Non-slip rulers and trimming tools
- A seam ripper trick to avoid fabric distortion
- Pins vs. clips
- Specialty tools for appliqué
- And a simple checklist for deciding when an upgrade is truly worth it

You don’t need everything at once. You can build your dream quilting toolkit over time!
