I also use a piece of clothespin as a "flat iron", I covered a large oatmeal box with cw fabric, put it beside my chair in the evenings, when I have snips of thread or small pieces of fabric, viola! pitch, when it gets full, dump it out..I also use freezer paper for applique, I have a piece of non slip cupboard liner under my sewing machine foot so it does not "dance" away when I am sewing...lotsa good ideas here!
