Here&#8217;s my list of supplies and where I bought them:<!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Large self healing cutting mat &#8211; In Jerusalem, on Yafo Street, there are a ton of fabric stores. On the opposite side of the street there is a sewing and crafts supply shop. I bought my mat there for significantly less that I found it anywhere else in Israel.<\/li>\n<li>Rotary cutter &#8211; I got my rotary cutter in that store as well. I don&#8217;t use that rotary cutter any more because I just couldn&#8217;t figure out how to change the blade. I figured out how to open it to take it out, but when I put in my new blade, it just doesn&#8217;t feel right. It could be that you will have more success that I did. The cutter that I am currently using is one that I bought online in the use at a store called Fat Quarter Shop. They have everything there that you can think of for sewing. I&#8217;ll spend more time talking about then in a future post<\/li>\n<li>Scissors &#8211; I got my scissors at that store as well, but they sell them for the same price all over.<\/li>\n<li>Straight pins &#8211; I like the long flower head pins. It&#8217;s amazing how hard they are to find in Israel. My first batch I bought at Pissott. Since then I&#8217;ve bought them online at Ali Express.<\/li>\n<li>Large acrylic ruler &#8211; The only place in Israel that I have found my long ruler that I am in love with is Pissot. It&#8217;s 6&#8243; x 24&#8243;. The ruler was a bit pricey but worth it.<\/li>\n<li>Cotton thread &#8211; It&#8217;s amazing to me how many weird looks I&#8217;ve gotten when I&#8217;ve gone into sewing shops and asked for cotton thread. It&#8217;s worse than not having the thread, the sellers ask why I would need it when polyester is just as good. It&#8217;s as if I&#8217;m insulting their way of life by wanting cotton.\u00a0The only place that I know of to buy cotton thread in Israel is Pissott. Pissott has a nice selection of colors. They sell large spools of white and cream threads at a really good price, which are prefect for most of my needs.<\/li>\n<li>Sewing machine &#8211; I actually bought my machine at Pissott too. There prices are reasonable, and I know that I have someone to talk to about the machine if there are any issues with it. I am now sporting a Singer Quantum Stylist 9960. I got it not that long ago and I love it. My daughter&#8217;s machine was adequate, but there really is no comparison. \u00a0I&#8217;ll talk more about how I picked it in a future post.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Well that&#8217;s it in a nut shell. This, fabric and batting is all you need to succeed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Besides fabric, there are a few other things that you just can&#8217;t live without.
