Using quilting tools for non-quilting tasks
We often mention how handy non-quilting tools are in our sewing rooms. What are some ways you've found that quilting tools come in handy for unintended purposes?
We give away a lot of homemade fudge every Christmas. I've always struggled with cutting it in uniform pieces. This year I tried the Shape Cut, but the slots were too narrow for the knife blade. Then my eye fell on my June Tailor Grid Marker, which admittedly hasn't gotten much use. I used it to score cutting lines on my blocks of fudge, and my pieces look much better.

The rulers and self-healing mat are excellent tools for papercrafting projects. Needles and thread would be welcome additions for fabric and paper based mixed media. And if memory serves, the smaller triangles could be used for fashion design templates since the upper torso is often in that shape.
