Starch. It has made a huge difference on my accuracy

Amen. I especially like it when paper piecing. Really makes finger pressing good between each piece of the block.

Got to agree with you there. I find this my most useful gadget

Me too.

I forget who mentioned it first, but Elmer's glue is my new best friend.

How so?

The Cut-Rite Bind Up tool. Makes perfect bindings every time. No more tears.

I love this tool too. It has opened up a whole new world making half square triangles. They are so much faster and they come out the same.

My BEAUTIFUL Quilting Board Friends are my biggest inspiration. If I need a tool or ADVICE, this is where I'll get an honest opinion.

I wouldn't be able to layout quilts because my knees are so bad. I'm afraid I would have given up this wonderful hobby.

Hello!
Quilt I am only 2 years ago. I started sewing for many years with a New Home machine that only I know (LOL!), but last year bought a Elna Q6600 and changed my life!
The special feet (1 / 4 inch walking foot and FM) and speed control are wonderful!
Master cutter, transparent rules and mat!
But above all things ... my PC and the Internet, thanks to which you can access and learn patchwork! That otherwise would have been impossible! I also found this forum interesting things and people that I have received so well despite not knowing the language!
A hug!
