I don't buy many gadgets. The clover mini-iron waster of money, bias tape maker, some blue cutting mat with a cloudy 3 inch ruler. Ah, but I did find a use for the WM sewing machine DD passed on to me. It winds bobbins for my lovely, loved, greatest gift in the world, 1941 Singer 15. Thanks for this thread. I won't feel guilty about passing up the gadgets.
