Well, one of my biggest bloopers is buying the forked pins! If you really want to try them fabricluvr...email or PM me your addy...I'll send them to you! I never use them.
My favorite notion...and I am not sure this is a notion, but I love it, is the Bendable Bright Light. I thought I was being frivolous when I bought it, but it truely does the job. I sew lots of times at night and I can sew black fabric at night again! I love it.
