I love gadgets - so, when it comes to sewing/quilting - I'm all about those notions. Often times, we see a quilting notion in the shop that we'd like to try or see in action before we spend our hard earned money on it - and that's where this series comes in. I'm here to test out/demonstrate those notions for you so that you don't have to spend your money until you're positive the notion is worth your hard earned dollars!

I recently started using the acorn pen and I now think that it is an essential tool in my quilting projects. I recently made the Violet Craft Starburst pattern. You make 40 of those darn paper pieced starbursts that are halves that is then sewn into 20 starbursts. There was a lot of bulk in that connecting seam and I don’t know what I would have done without the Acorn pen. I also like the glue they make instead of pinning better than the other glue options. I have used Best Press, but starching my square after it is sewn is risky as I have had shrinkage doing that. I think they all have valuable uses and are worth having on hand.

Fun facts about this system! You can dilute the solution with water up to 50% and it still works. You can buy replacement nibs for the pen itself. And I don't advise this for FPP because it will make the paper soggy. Oh and use it on the wrong side of the fabric....

It is a great product for working with embroidery projects in the hoop. Either piecing in the hoop or finishing a project where you have to flip a seam before the project is complete/ready to take out of the hoop. Either with a manual seam roller or a small iron, you can get those small seams flat!

I’ve been using the Acorn Precision piecing pen for a number of years. I think you used a bit too much liquid which made the process take longer than necessary. I use it most while I’m piecing the block, it makes my points much more accurate.😊

Great tester video. I would probably never use a product like that seam pen as I believe it would slow me down needing to apply to all seams before pressing. With that said for show quilts where I need flat precision blocks then maybe I'd take the extra time. But its a great review Becca. And I am plenty sure some folks will probably get and try this stuff just from your awesome review 😊

I have the pen and I love it, especially since I sometimes piece with cut up sateen sheets that refuse to be pressed flat without some kind of product. It works beautifully. I experimented by sewing two sets of strips together and measuring them before pressing. I then set the seams, then pressed them open. I used the pressing pen on one set and on the other, I used some undiluted Staflo applied with an artist brush. I then measured them again to see if there was shrinkage. If there was, I’d say it would only be about two threads worth and as near as I can tell, they turned out the same. When my Acorn solution runs out I’m going to try Staflo in my pen. I’m thinking it might clog it up because it seems a little thicker. If it does, I’ll just use a paint brush. I can’t justify spending $70 on a gallon of Acorn pressing solution when good old Staflo does the same thing.

@margaretderen2082
@margaretderen2082 8 месяцев назад
I’m a prewash and StaFlo quilter too. Possibly a *very* dilute solution of StaFlo wouldn’t clog the pen. I dilute mine in my large sprayer 1 StaFlo to 3 water and the sprayer hasn’t clogged yet. That said, I think that the authentic pen solution would be worth the money as minimal amounts are used and the nib does a good job at spreading solution evenly. (I tried Best Press in a watercolor brush that has the reserve water tube, and did not like that the solution did not come out evenly).

@sewbecca
@sewbecca Год назад
I just learned about the Clover fabric folding pen a couple of weeks ago - didn't even know it existed when I made this video over *two years* ago! I will say, I did a little looking at both products (off camera) to compare for my own information. The Easy Press set comes with a pen, extra liquid, and two replacement nibs - and is just a little more than the Clover set - which comes with just the pen and a smaller amount of liquid. I felt like the Easy Press system gave you more bang for your buck when it was all said & done! But, from the demos I've seen - both products are pretty equal.

I would never even consider adding this much time to my piecing! I use a spritz bottle with Mary Ellen’s Best Press (I buy it by the gallon) and it takes at most two seconds to spray a block the size of your example. If I used a pen and literally outline every seam, I not only wasted a lot of time when considering an entire quilt but a spritz of Best Press gives body to my entire piece - not just the seam. This is just a gimmick that I see no advantage to.

I think the biggest advantage to this product is using it when you *can't* spray the entire piece iwth Best Press. If the fabric wasn't starched before you cut, or if you're doing FPP - this product is helpful!
