The newly designed Value Viewer! Become an expert at fabric selection - instantly! This is the value tool I use whenever I select fabrics for a quilt. Place the tool up to your eye and look through it. This "removes" much of the color of the fabrics and you can see the value of the fabric. This tool helps you determine whether your fabrics are light, medium or dark. (To order Karen's Value Viewer, click here. )
