Ok, well my clip binding clips don't stay on unless I only do a small section at a time.
I tried those bicycle clips to hold your quilt sides (rolled), but they also come off all the time when I hand-quilt.
My Fiskars 24" rotary ruler-which I think I will give another try before axing it.
Every thimble I have tried except my Thimble-it oval sticky pads for my underneath finger when hand-quilting and the leather and plastic band thimbles by Clover (3 per pack) for my needle pushing finger. I LOVE those two items and won't quilt with-out them.
I'm a gadget freek and want to try everything that comes out and still have many items I have yet to use!
As far as magazines, I subscribe to many and yes, you can't read the name on the binding on some, but I file them in those plastic or metal magazine holders and just lable each one and they stand up nicely side by side on the shelves. Each time a new one comes it and I finish reading it, I file in the right holder in front, so they are even in date order and easier to locate a specific issue. I can't bare to cut them up, and don't have the patience to sit at the computer to look something up. I like thumbing thru them periodically - besides, I have tagged so many as "must makes", that I continually change my mind on each time I go thru them looking for my next project.
