Terrific Tool Thursday: Steady Betty

Tool time! (Feel free to channel Tim Allen's voice.) Today's tool is the Steady Betty. I discovered this while I was at Bernina University. It's a foamy surface to iron on, but your fabric does not move.  When I say does not move, I mean it's stuck on there. We wish design walls had this sort of clinging power. (Hmmm) So brilliant. It's great for tiny piecing and saves the fingers! Since Betty is holding on for you, there's no need to clutch your fabric by the iron! They're available from your local quilt shop, so shop local:)xo LC
