The following are must haves IMO....

www.quiltersslidelock.com MPO(my personal opinion) I think this is the best quilting cutter tool!!! I purchased their package of three….and absolutely no regrets! pricey but in the long run I would have saved money had I not purchased the 4 or 5 other rulers I no longer use but keep as...who knows when I will find them handy again.

I have a rotating mat…don’t a l w a y s use it but it comes in handy for me.

EZ Snip Curved Embroidery Scissors (spring action scissors)…I personally feel these are a must and much better than the regular common snips; they are very light and very sharp.

45 and 60 mm rotary cutters but there are others that are ergonomic that interest me and if I didn’t have about 7 or 8 different rotary cutters as it is I would have given those a try; and an 18mm if you sew clothes – they cut apart the pattern pieces very easily.
These are just my fav's.

Good luck in finding the right tools for you!
