I LOVE:
Sidewinder....fast, fully wound bobbins. My sewing machine stops winding before the bobbin is full.
4 Pincushions..one in each work area, so I don't have to move just one or two around.
Bamboo Chopstick...turns things and helps push corners out.
Lanyard...keeps my little thread cutting scissors around my neck so I can't lose them!
Old kitchen canisters...they hold my scissors, marking implements, and cutters on my work table..everything in sight!
12.5" square ruler...I use it a LOT...squaring up quilt corners is so easy with it.
That little metal seam gauge...I use it to check my needle position to get scant 1/4" from edge of foot. I don't like the 1/4" foot with the metal guide.
I could do without:
A bunch of specialty rulers we bought at a quilt show a year ago and have yet to use.
A small travel iron that can only be used for 15 minutes at a time, or it will self-destruct...or something. It says don't use it for more than 15 minutes. ????
I haven't bought a whole bunch of extra gadgets due to money. I usually am pretty careful what I buy to be sure I will use it.
