Fons and Porter's Love of Quilting TV Supplies Series 1700 Page 1 Sewing machine for the series was the Baby Lock Symphony. The sewing center is provided by Koala Cabinets. For piecing, we use the 1/4” quilting presser foot or the monogramming presser foot. We use basic sewing supplies such as fabric, rotary cutters, and scissors, plus specific items listed below. We wear a Klutz cut-resistant safety glove when rotary cutting, press with an Oliso Iron, and measure using Omnigrid, and Fons & Porter rulers. Patterns and instructions for quilts featured are in Love of Quilting or Easy Quilts magazine or as listed. We now have DVD's available for our TV shows beginning with the 400 series.
