I love love love Karen Buckley's scissors. They are very finely searated, so when I do have to cut something precisely, they gently grip the fabric. I also like her circles and bigger circles. They each have a great assortment of sizes and there are 4 of each size so I can do a few at a time. Good tool do make a difference!

A quilt can be made with very basic sewing supplies but that's no fun for me. I want the new tools and gadgets, specialty rulers, and all the fluff, so I buy them. I enjoy all my new quilting tool I've purchased. I guess my Go would be at the top of the list as best I've bought in the last few years. The new batting scissors is my newest best tool I've bought. My best newest tip is to use the Wonder Double Sided 1/4" water soluble tape to match seams on my blocks before sewing.

Several years ago I bought a walking foot and 1/4 inch seam foot for my Brother 120E (a very basic machine) but both feet sat in the drawer with other gadgets for 2 years until I forced myself to use them. I can't believe how much they simplified my quilting life!!! No longer forcing fabric through the machine -- the walking foot just chugs along dealing with everything -- I love it, and the 1/4inch, but still make mistakes with that. I've just searched ebay for the magnetic seam guide someone mentioned earlier -- might give that a try too.
