Clover Fabric Folding Pen

What is it? - Sewing is all about construction. At its most elemental level whether your preference is fashion, heirloom, quilting, applique, home decor, or any combination, it is all the same. It's putting fabric together in some arrangement that results in our predetermined creative vision. But before we can apply even the very first stitch we have to make sure our fabric is cut, folded and pressed to very specific dimensions. The fabric must be manipulated into the shapes that will result in the conclusion of that vision. Sharp scissors and a rotary cutter will make the shapes. But what about the creases or folds? What's the best way to do that? Simple . . . Clover's Fabric Folding Pen. Think of a felt tip pen that is filled with what amounts to be a very unique fabric softener. Just remove the cap and with the felt tip trace either a straight or curved wet bead line on your fabric. The fluid from the pen causes the fabric fibers to relax at the point of application. Now you can fold along that specific line with ease and either finger press or iron to form a sharp, lasting edge.
