since you started quilting? Things have advanced so much since I started 15 or so years ago..And look at all the beautiful amazing quilts our Grandmothers made with scissors and a wooden frame. =)

I'm a gadget girl and I LOVE everything. That doesn't mean I use it..I have alot of stuff gathering dust. But I had to ask..because surely I'm not the only one that loves the "next best thing"..

My most used is my QuiltCut...whats yours?

not very original, but my seam ripper--LOL.

The rotory cutting tool. Best thing since slice bread. and Yes, I do bake and slice my own bread.

Best thing I've learned is to be patient -- mastery will come! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Since I started=fusible web & rotary cutter & mat.

Hands down, it's gotta be the rotary cutter! There's just no better way to get consistent results.

My Pfaff Creative 4.0. It is an awesome machine and I get so much more done with it than I did my last machine. I can't imagine sewing without it now.

The best item I have since I started quilting is a sewing machine- Viking Quilt Designer.

Same here. I use the rotary cutter to cut out garments as well as quilts.

There are plenty of gadget/cutters/rulers that I could mention.
Lord knows, I have more than my fair share!
However, the one purchase that has totally revolutionized my quilting is a book.

Crazy Shortcut Quilts by Marguerita McManus & Sarah Raffuse

I've not done a crazy quilt but their QAYG method has made quilting a real joy for me.
I just could not stuff anything larger than a 60"x60" lap quilt (on a good day) into the throat of my sewing machine without wanting to pull my hair out.
