Being married to a quilter and knowing a number of quilters, I would make
the following suggestions.

1) Attachments for the sewing machine. I bought my wife a "walking foot"
for her Bernina. It was a big hit. There are many such feet for this
machine.

Way too many, I think the last time I glanced at my wife's collection it
was well over 1 dozen.


2) All quality sewing machines require an annual cleaning and adjustment.
I got a gift card for the amount of such a tuneup for Dawn's birthday. She
loved it.

My wife gets this done for free, I wonder if it is a perk for spending money
at that srore. ;~)


5) Support for the quilt during the actual quilting process.

Problem solved, I bought her a Long Arm Machine a few years back.




7) All quilters use those rotary knives. There are some nice, new
ergonomic designs for these knives. And they do need their blades. These
are great stocking stuffers for a quilter.

There is a rotary blade sharpener that works quite well. Saves a lot of
money.




8) If you can find a quilting calender, these are most appreciated. A
quilting store would be your best bet for locating these.

Ordered one this morning.



9) And the old standby, a gift certificate for a quilting or fabric store.

All great suggestions Lee.
