It came with a small air compressor model TC20 and some airbrush tools. It’s perfect for home use as it’s not too loud and just has enough power to spray paint. Hope that helps!Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04902851872749998189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-783581788718822654.post-62706915274422500182018-11-23T21:06:37.897-06:002018-11-23T21:06:37.897-06:00What would you recommend for the airbrushing tool?...What would you recommend for the airbrushing tool?

Just remember since it's handstitching, it's easier to unpick the stitches as long as you do it carefully so as not to distort the fabric. I also realized halfway through the process of cutting out the appliqués that if I accidentally snip the backing fabric, I could always cover it with a piece of appliqué so that significantly reduced the stress factor!Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04902851872749998189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-783581788718822654.post-23521257753594086082017-07-20T06:26:17.802-05:002017-07-20T06:26:17.802-05:00Thank you!
