Tool Tuesday

I just had to share how awesome this Sewline fabric pencil is! It was part of the cool prize package I won from Moda before Christmas.

I must say I was a tad skeptical that the Sewline pencil would be any different than the 5 other marking tools I already had - none of which work all that well.
I think my mouth dropped open then first time I used it. That is my black binding fabric for the Neptune coin quilt I'm working on. [yes, I have to draw the line]

The white ceramic lead draws an amazingly smooth, clear, crisp line. One pass! And it comes off with a dab of water or the eraser attached to the other end! Just like a regular mechanical pencil, it holds 6 leads and the package came with a 6-lead refill. There are also other colors for light fabric. Since I totally lucked out and got it for free, I don't even know how much thing runs. But whatever it is, it's worth every cent!

You need it. You'll love it. Go get one now!

I thought I would give a little peak of the freshly quilted Neptune this binding will go on, but you get Becket, too. He grabbed the other digital camera for the photo shoot....

And got some better pictures than I did, I think!

While downloading, I found one of me setting up the pencil shot - not long before he has his own blog!
