An Oliso iron is a great tool for using Heat n Bond Lite Iron-on Adhesive on your applique projects.

Another great tool for sewing is the Crafter’s Edge Crossover II and cutting dies. “Sweet Dreams Baby” hearts were cut using this awesome machine and heart and circle die! (The pattern includes the heart and circle if you don’t have a cutting device.)
