Thought of a few more I use -
Chop stick for getting nice points
Hospital forceps to grab & turn narrow applique strip
Small hair scrunchies to cover bobbins so thread won't unwind - use scrunchie approx color of bobbin thread
Narrow dough roller to flatten seam or to 'finger-press'
Breath mint tins for pins, needles
Masking tape to pick up loose threads
Empty Crystal Light plastic tubes for small scissors, tweezers, extra filled bobbins, etc
Empty toilet paper cardboard roll to slide over folded electric cords
Flat hair clips on binding - avoids my being poked by pins
Empty container from roll of adhesive tape - wind measuring tape around it & snap shut
Clean, unused pizza boxes to stack 12 1/2" squares or 9 1/2" squares of block of the month projects
Freezer paper for paper-piecing
Adding machine roll paper - small applique copying, paper-piecing, etc
Gardening gloves instead of quilting gloves (less expensive & works for me)
Plastic zippered blanket bags for large WIPs
OK, probably more yet, but that's it for now :)
Thanks, I'm learning from all of you!
