My fav thing is the ripper holder. When I chain piece this makes cutting them apart so quickand easy. I have one that is from Fons and Porter that I keep in my sewing case for when I take my machine to class or to work at my Bee. At home I have an old inkpen holder that is weighted and the holder part is just the right size to hold a regular ripper. My friend just sticks her ripper int the hole of a larger thread spool and uses it that way.. But I like the weighed holder better.
