Series Credits
The sewing machine for this series is the Pfaff Creative Icon. For piecing, we use the ¼” quilting presser foot. We use basic sewing supplies such as fabric, rotary cutters, and scissors. We wear a cut-resistant safety glove when rotary cutting, press with a Reliable iron, and measure using Omnigrid and Fons & Porter rulers. Patterns and instructions for quilts are featured in Love of Quilting magazines, or can be found on our website. We have online streaming video available for our TV shows, beginning with the 400 series.

- Fons & Porter 45mm Rotary Cutter

I’m looking for the little iron used on the new episodes. We need a small light weight iron.
I can’t find your 3100 series for purchase? Can you tell me what issue eps 3103 princess pillowcase pattern/instructions appeared in your Love of Quilting issue?
I’m also looking to download the 3100 video series, is it available?
How do I get the instructions for the 3103 show? The link provided doesn’t work. Also, can we buy a book or DVD for the 3100 series> Thank you so much!
I can’t seem to find the search feature on your website. I was looking for a specific pattern. Where is it located?
Deborah,
If you let me know the pattern name I’d be happy to help you track it down too. Otherwise, the search feature should look like a magnifying glass near the top right corner of the screen. I hope that helps!
Best,
Tiffany

What happened to the Babylock machines?
Yes, we’ve changed our sewing machine! Pfaff sponsored Love of Quilting’s 3100 series (and the upcoming 3200 series), and has generously lent us a Creative Icon for use on the show!
Wow. That is very cool. I love the Pfaff Icon, it may just be the best sewing machine I have ever seen so I bought one! I can’t wait to watch the series.
