I have a river cottage with two machines and duplicates of everything. I also have a sewing box filled with everything for my camper. One thing I just Love is my bamboo stilettos (thank you Eleanor Burns), can’t seem to see without them anymore. I also have a CD/diskette player with audio books in each place.

I have duplicates if scissors, rotary cutter, seam ripper, pin cushion, and thread snippers. I keep them in the carrier for my small Brother that I take to classes and sit and sew sessions. Aside from those items, I try not to duplicate.

What are thread snips? I don't think I have that since I don't know what it is.

Bear, I have many of the same things too, along with scissors, every rotary cutter you can think of and a million rulers
and cutting mats and and and :D

Sometimes I wonder if I would pay better attention to my "stuff" if I only had one of everything.

I have several duplicates of small things and am glad I do.

oh lot and lots/ of every thing, sample https://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f...ic-t71932.html

I have my sewing room set up for eight to sew at one time so have at least 8 of lights, sewing machines, cutting matts rotary cutters scissors, thread nippers pin cushions chairs, every thing you would need, and every year I find a ruler I do not have and add to my collection, so yes I guess my reason is I teach 4H classes and need them.

Yes, lots of : seam rippers, needles, pins, marking tools

multiples of: machines and machine feet, cutting mats
