This thing: The Fabulous Fabric Glide

That two piece purple do-dad. It still sits up in my cabinet gathering dust. :)

That is the first thing I thought of.

Purse patterns. I keep thinking I'll try again to make a purse that I like from a pattern that I hope will be what I want. I haven't made a purse yet that I like or kept. I think I just have to accept that I'm not a purse maker, and one of these days I'll collect all of them and see about passing them on to some of the bag makers here.:)

The Flynn Quilting System. Spent more time chasing the rollers than quilting. Threw it out years ago.

I bought that Quilt Calculator for a friend one Christmas. She kept drooling over it & she said she was a whiz at math ... but she never could figure it out.

I love my Flynn frame but I know what you mean about the rollers ....taped pencils to the edges of the table so the rollers could not go wayward. not my original idea it is suggested in the instructions and my table is a tad shorter than recommended.

The Purple Thang. Didn't cost much, but I never use it...there are other things around the house that do the same thing. A bobbin holder that looks like a multi-armed octopus. The bobbin rings are better.

The 'sit upon comfort cushion' http://www.sewforless.com/item/The_G..._Cushion/10062
I got rid of that the same month I bought it. And the double suction cup ruler handle - doesn't work - waste of money.

The 'sit upon comfort cushion' was a gift form family and I rarely used it. Kept falling off it so took some air out. Now it is almost flat and still doesn't work! Going to take it to goodwill, still have the box.

When I first started quilting, I bought the binding tool from Missouri Star. Because of it's size, it's too big for many projects. The method I use now requires no gadgets!
