I have used all that I've gotten at the shows. I normally look for thread, you can get some great deals. This year at the Hampton Roads show I want to check out the new feet for my machine, and then Alex Anderson has a new cutting mat and a rotary cutter that has a little more weight, easy to change blades and made for left or right handers. If you have big purchases the shows or events are the places to go. I also will check out to see if daylight has a new light that I want there.
