A thread saver is a small scrap of fabric used to start or stop a string of chain piecing. It helps to lengthen the time in between bobbin changes and also streamlines the sewing process by preventing the need to pull and clip threads after every piece. It is also sometimes referred to as a “leader-ender” and is used for leader-ender projects.

Angela Grace’s first quilt was started when she was 18, given away unfinished when she was 22, gotten back when she was 34 and finished when she was 39. Now that Angela makes quilts in significantly less time, she’s on a mission to make quilting simple so that new quilters can be creative. When she is not hanging out on the internet you can find her quilting, gardening, reading, or, most frequently, daydreaming.
