For now, it is new project tutorial day - time to share my April project created for the Therm O Web blog with you. I always enjoy putting on my Fabric Education Designer hat and creating new projects/tutorials using incredible products from Therm O Web. For the month of April, the blog is focused on embellished apparel, bags and pouches, HeatnBond Sparkle Paste, machine embroidery, and foundation piecing. I created a brand new project that was posted on Monday - it is a complete project tutorial for my Floss Folio. My comprehensive tutorial contains a complete supply list, printable pattern with quilt block foundation, and step-by-step directions with color photos.
As an avid needleworker with a busy schedule, I am always searching for easy ways to keep my projects organized and ready to take on the go. With my Floss Folio, you can easily take sixteen floss bobbins on the go in your favorite project bag. It is a perfect afternoon sewing project and works great with scraps and/or your favorite fabric collection. Therm O Web interfacings make it soft and sturdy and their StitchnSew EZ Print Foundation Piecing Stabilizer is the best when it comes to foundation piecing the quilt blocks.
Tomorrow, you will be able to visit my YouTube Channel to follow along as I create my Floss Folio (longer version)...or visit my Instagram for a shorter Reel video...it should be posted on Wednesday (that is the plan anyway, we'll see how I feel).
You will have to visit the Therm O Web blog for my complete tutorial and pattern, but I am posting a few photos here...

You will be surprised how quickly this pretty and practical project comes together. It is perfect for using up those scraps and small pieces of fabric - I opted to use fat quarters from Stolen Moments by Lori Woods for Poppie Cotton. For this post, I used the following Therm O Web products:
- StitchnSew EZ Print Foundation Piecing Stabilizer
- HeatnBond Craft Extra Firm Non-Woven Fusible Interfacing
- HeatnBond Medium Weight Non-Woven Fusible Interfacing
- HeatnBond Fusible Fleece
- HeatnBond Fabric Fuse PeelnStick Fabric Adhesive Tape

To find the exact tools and supplies listed, visit my Floss Folio List on Amazon (full disclosure: as an Amazon Influencer, I earn from qualifying purchases - I only share products I actually use - and I truly appreciate you shopping from my links, thank you!).
Let's talk about the StitchnSew EZ Print Foundation Piecing Stabilizer. We all know, I love the foundation piecing method (I have taught several classes on this technique and I have several patterns that use this technique). StitchnSew EZ Print Foundation Piecing Stabilizer sheets provide great stabilization/support and are easily removed by tearing away, up to the stitches, without distorting stitches/embroidery. These sheets are super soft and tear easily....and they are made to fit your inkjet printer, so you can print directly on the stabilizer! I can't tell you how much I love these sheets compared to regular foundation piecing paper - they are a stapple in my sewing studio.
