Meet the "Quilt As You Go" Method

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the idea of quilting a large project, the June Tailor Quilt As You Go (QAYG) method is a game-changer. This brilliant system simplifies the process by letting you piece, quilt, and finish your project in one seamless step.

The magic is in the pre-printed batting, which features "sew-by-number" patterns printed directly onto the stabilizer. Simply place your fabric pieces on the lines and stitch through all layers. Missouri Star carries a wide variety of these popular kits, including:

• ➤Home Decor Kits: Whip up a set of Venice Placemats, a festive Tree Skirt, or the Northwoods Table Runner.

• ➤Stylish Bag Kits: Create professional-looking accessories like the Alexandra, Charlotte, or Sophie Totes, as well as functional Cosmetic Bags and Wine Totes.

Precision Cutting with the Shape Cut System

Accuracy is the foundation of every great quilt, and it all starts with a clean cut. One of the most sought-after June Tailor quilting notions in our shop is the Shape Cut System.

The Shape Cut Ruler is a slotted ruler that allows you to cut multiple strips of the same width (in 1/2" increments) without ever moving the ruler. By using a rotary cutter within the precision-cut slots, you eliminate the risk of the ruler slipping. We carry several versions to fit your needs:

• ➤Shape Cut Plus: A large 12" x 18" grid perfect for cutting fat quarters and yardage.

• ➤Shape Cut Junior: A compact 12" x 12" size ideal for smaller fabric scraps and charm packs.

• ➤T-Shirt Transformation Ruler: Specifically designed to help you center and cut graphics for the perfect memory quilt.

Essential Pressing and Finishing Aids

A flat, crisp seam is the secret to sharp points and a polished finish. June Tailor offers a range of pressing tools designed to solve common quilting challenges:

• ➤Quilter’s Cut ’n Press: A double-sided hero featuring a rotary cutting mat on one side and a cushioned pressing surface on the other—perfect for keeping right next to your sewing machine.

• ➤Cushioned Quilter’s Square ’n Blocker: This 18" x 24" surface is essential for blocking finished blocks to ensure they are perfectly square before assembly.

• ➤Magic Seam Wand: A wooden tool that helps you press seams open or to the side without the risk of burning your fingers or distorting the fabric.

• ➤Quilt Basting Spray: Secure your quilt sandwich instantly with a temporary bond that won’t gum up your sewing machine needle.

A crisp, flat seam is the secret to a beautiful quilt. When your seams are pressed well, your points match up more accurately, and your blocks lay flat, which makes the final quilting much easier. June Tailor's pressing tools are designed to help you set your seams perfectly, giving your entire project a polished and professional look from the very start.
