    Thanks for the info on blade sharpeners. I was all set to buy one from a good source but you all have convinced me not to waste my money.

    Yep a blade sharpener at $30 a few years back- useless. Still have it and plenty of expensive scissors that need sharoening badly.

    ...a ton of books I thought I really was going to use the patterns from, like others' specialty rulers/templates( some of which still have their original wrap in) that I thought would make whatever so much easier to do...have I learned to say NO!......sometimes...

    I'm not a gadget person. I don't buy any use once items. I still have a lot of templates that I inherited from my sister and have never used.

    Books and patterns that I look at now and know that I'm never going to use to make anything. Really should do a "clean out, organize, and get rid of".
