    Sure have! I figure I must have a good reason before...even if I can't remember why now!

    Yup!!

    Binder clips. I find it easier to use long straight pins that I would have otherwise discarded because they had a bend in them.

    June Taylor ruler - the square one where you can cut several strips at a time. I just don't use it.

    Ok, too many to count. All stashed in their spot in my sewing room. Who knows, someday I might need that specific notion.

    I love quilting tools and gadgets. They are small and easy to keep so why not? It's fun to see the old tools become new again.

    Too funny, I use my June Taylor every (?) day. I LOVE it. Mine is almost worn out after all these years of use. Is this "one man's trash is another man's treasure" ?

    Nope. If I don't NEED it, I don't buy it.

    I try not to buy too many gadgets - so many times they really aren't needed and just take up space in my drawer.

    So many unused notions that, I make a point to gift them whenever we have a "basket drawing" at the quilt show. At least they go to a good use. Maybe.
