Welcome to the Home of Lizard of Oz - Your Paper Piecing and Appliqué Specialist

What We Do

We specialize in all aspects of English Paper piecing and appliqué. For English Piecing we supply a large range of printed paper shapes, packs to make quilt tops called Tessatops, and also have project packs that provide everything you need to make a quilt except the fabric.

If you're not familiar with the English piecing technique have a look at our English piecing instructions to learn about this easy and accurate piecing method.

For appliqué we supply a large range of Fusables, shapes printed directly onto genuine Vliesofix® fusible webbing. If you're not familiar with using Vliesofix® for appliqué you can find out all about it by looking at our Fusables instruction sheet.

We also have a range of Fusablocks, original Lizard of Oz block designs that include the Fusables you need to make the block.
