rulers: mixture of sizes which replaced when break or not right size
cutting mat: if it bows or looses the lines
rotary cutter: never just a mixture of sizes bought over 10 years
rotary blades:I buy packs ready for when blade skips threads( very good at loosing the new pack)
pins straight as I need them. Frequently bend them as I buy very fine
safety pins very good at loosing or giving away and not having enough for next project.
Needles machine and hand try to replace needle weekly for machine and hand needle when difficult to push through fabric
chair I sit on anything as long as it's soft hate plastic chairs
sewing machine, I have a selection of 6. Buy when I feel I need a new challenge
scissors I have plenty from mum and grandma
seam ripper these seem to come and go. Try not to loose them.
Thread one colour a gray for piecing, top thread buy depending on colour of quilt same rule if hand stitching
batting buy new for each project as no storage area for large roll
fabric: I buy for each project and limit a stash to one cupboard.
steam a seam as I want to use as it doesn't store and keep in good use.

my worse problem is not changing my sewing machine needle enough by reading my list.
