Quilting Tools, Supplies and Notions

This post contains affiliate links for which I receive compensation.

Just walk into any quilt shop and there'll be a whole wall of tools, supplies and notions...

...And usually a few variations of the same tool.

How's a quilter to choose?

We've begun an index here, of the tools and supplies we use in quilt making. Since new products are introduced all the time, it's a work in progress.
