I read about purchasing the rotary blades are Harbor Freight and using teflon baking sheets as "sliders" for FMQ. So I am thinking, if you have come up with an innovative alternative/solution to some quilting gadget, would you share it here?
For myself, I had seen the "extra" support legs to put under your cabinet leaf when you extend it. So I measured the distance from the floor to the bottom of my cabinet extension and had a piece of 3" pvc pipe cut at Lowes that was just a little shorter. Then I purchased a cap end to fit on it, put the two together and voila, I had a support leg. I used some shelf liner on the top to protect my cabinet from any scratching. When I shared this with my guild, they loved the idea but took it one step further and put the caps on both ends so they had a finished support. In all, it cost me about $7 - much cheaper than the magazine ads.
