Okay, patterns, too many to count. Three rotary cutters, 45, 60 and 65. Had to get the 60 as the blades for the 65 were really hard to find. WM quit carrying them. So I broke down and got the 60. Don't remember the brand. Scissors--3 pairs of Fiskars. The teeny ones that are really, really pointed, for clipping threads and into corners and such, then I have what I called the fat lip ones that are recommended for applique, which I do a LOT of. And the Fiskars shears. I bought all Fiskars because of their reputation. the 1st pr was the applique scissors and was happy with them so gradually I added the other two. I have purchased other brands but nothing holds up as well. Most of my patterns have been printed off the computer and are for applique. I have dozens of books and tons of magazines, but hey can you ever have too much?
