Oh yes, let us not forget classes, books & sewing machine gadgets too!

OK, that said - here are my latest flops -

Box of large quilting pins from Wally World, Dritz I believe.
Back in the day, that name was reliable, but not any more. One stab at my 3 sandwich layers & that pin buckled up in a distorted glob & broke in two pieces. They are not made of metal like they used to be...some aluminum &^&^%%.

Blue marking pen - again, same brand & store.
Did not even mark once....all dried up & totally useless, sucking on it & dipping in water never budged a drop of blue to appear.

Your turn....
