The ''slotted tool'' is the most important quilling tool as it makes curling coils much easier and faster. [[Quill|Bird feather quills]] can be used as slotted tools, and this is where the word 'quilling' comes from.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The History of Quilling |url=https://quillingcard.com/blogs/quilling-blog/the-history-of-quilling |access-date=2022-03-11 |website=Quilling Card |language=en |archive-date=2022-01-31 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220131045445/https://quillingcard.com/blogs/quilling-blog/the-history-of-quilling |url-status=live }}</ref> The quality of the coil is noticeably higher compared to a coil that was curled with a toothpick or hand. For younger children, it is recommended that a Curling Coach be used with the slotted tool.

=== Needle tool ===

The ''needle tool'' plays a supporting role in the craft. It is used primarily to apply glue to hard-to-reach areas of the coil or quilling design.

=== Tweezers ===

Tweezers are used to make delicate coils to prevent warping and unraveling. They keep the coils the same size which is important when making something with duplicate coils, like flower petals. Tweezers are also helpful in inserting paper in tight spaces.

=== Circle sizer ruler ===

The circle sizer ruler is not essential in making coils into a desired size after curling. The ruler on the side is used to measure each strip to ensure they are the same length before curling.

=== Curling coach ===

Curling coaches make a great complement tool for slotted tools and are recommended for younger kids and people who like to quill 3D miniatures. It makes curling the strips much faster and easier than if they were curled with just the slotted tool.

=== Crimper tool ===
