Description
After a stack of fabric is cut, the pieces stop being obviously different. Alphabitties keep them named. Each is a small pink plastic square printed with a single letter or number, set on top of a cut stack or at the head of a row to mark which piece is which. Patterns that label their fabrics or rows by letter or number stay easy to follow, from cutting through final layout.
What's Included
This listing is for the set of markers only. The package contains 36 squares: 26 letters, A through Z, and 10 numbers, 0 through 9, one of each.
How to Use Them
Lay a square on each cut stack, or set one at the start of each row, and match it to the letter or number the pattern uses. Each square is printed on both sides, so the character reads whichever way it lands. The markers are reusable from one project to the next. For a version that clips onto the stack instead of resting on it, It's Sew Emma also makes Alphaclippies.
Perfect For
- Complex or multi-piece projects where it is easy to lose track of which cut is which
- Labeling cut stacks or marking rows as a quilt comes together
- Keeping a project's pieces named while it sits between sessions
- A low-cost way to sort and mark fabric without pins or sticky notes
Why You'll Love These Markers
The squares do one job and do it simply. Cut, sort, and drop a letter on each stack, and a pattern that calls for piece A or row 4 stays clear from the cutting mat through assembly. Because each one is printed on both sides, there is no flipping a marker over to find the right face.
They take up almost no room in a notions box and cost little to keep on hand, which makes them an easy way into a labeled, sorted way of working. The full alphabet and digits mean a project of almost any size can be marked from a single set.
