  • SUPERIOR SCISSORS FOR THE SEWING CRAFTS   A little bit about our scissors – HERITAGE QUALITY From the 13th century, swords made in Seki, Japan gained the reputation of being the finest blades. This 800 year old tradition of producing high-quality tempered steel is inherent in the scissors made in Seki which carry the Sewline brand are now being sold across the world.

  • So many have trouble with dry cuticles after sewing and handling so much fabric. Here is a way to care for those dry, cracked cuticles. After talking with lots of her Sewline customers, Charlotte discovered that although  a good number suffer from dry cuticles,they were reluctant to use available oils and cream for fear of staining their fabrics. So, after addressing the problem, Sewline has come up with solution. The Sewline Cuticle Oil  Wand – it’s especially designed for sewers with a neat dispenser and an applicator brush that puts the oil exactly where  it’s needed. Just touch on cuticles. […]

  • There are many pencils and ink markers for drafting the design shapes for quilts and appliqués, embroidery and dressmaking.

Now Sewline research and development have produced an ink maker system that will be the answer for many – a truly easy marking and removal system. It is such a breakthrough in ink technology that worldwide patents are in registration.  Called the […]

It can also help ensure no bad reactions when using marking pencils. You’d be surprised how much chemical residue can be left on fabric from the production process and this can interfere with the way  marking pens work. Here are a few tips from Claudia at Quilt Essentials in Queensland ( www.quiltessentials.com.au) – a new Sewline stockist. Wash light colours in lukewarm water […]
