I bought a long pair of scissor-like clamps at Harbour freight. Great for turning things inside out and pushing out points. Also handy for picking up things I drop on the floor. I use those 4 pair pant hangers for hanging UFO's and my collection of seasonal mini quilts. And I know many have them but no on mentioned the magnetic nut and bolt dish from Harbour Freight for pins. I love how the pins jump up to the edge. Makes them easy to grab.
