What quilting item do you consider the worst that you've purchased and why?
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
What quilting item do you consider the worst that you've purchased and why?
Some of my rulers. They were designed for one quilt pattern only and cost a fortune.
Finished is better than a UFO
I agree. Not all specialty rulers (like the Twister) but most can ONLY be used once.Originally Posted by DOTTYMO
A Good Friend, like an old quilt, is both a Treasure and a Comfort
I love specialty rulers. Everyone I have bought have cost less then a pair of shoes I don't see the gripe about the cost. I've notice over the years at guild, the ones that keep harping over the cost of an item they buy never seem to enjoy using it unless they borrow one. LOL
I guess the one quilting item I bought and used only a few times is the Alto Quilt Cut 2. It's a quality product but I don't like using it at all.
I love my life!
A ruler. It is still in it's shrink wrap. It was so difficult to use that I just put it in a drawer and said "forget it!".
Things I have bought on sale and still haven't used. Like Dottymo I have rulers that I bought just because they were on sale and I may use them some day. Same with templates, I have quite a few because "some day" I intend to make the quilt.
A 2 piece gadget [forget it's name] for sharpening rotary blades. Cost $40 and totally useless.
I bought the electric blade sharpener for way more than that. And it doesn't work very well either. Nothing beats a new blade.
And it's sooo loud. You need earplugs to run it.
AMEN! My son gave me some earplugs I wear, and I agree "nothing beats a new blade"! Thank goodness I won the sharpener.
Same here!
