June Tailor paper for paper piecing that disolves in water. I also love the Harbor Freight rotary blades for $1.00 each. It isn't really a notion, but I love Pandora.com on my laptop for non-stop music when I quilt.

Coming from an industrial sewing environment, I would eliminate seam rippers and include a few pairs of "snips" or "nips". I use blue painters tape wrapped around my rulers so that I don't have to buy multiple sizes. I buy my rotary cutter blades at Harbor Freight when they are on sale. 10 or so years ago I bought a manual blade sharpener for around $15.00. It has more than paid for itself. I would not hesitate to buy this as a gift for a quilting friend. I own a pair of Ginghers, but my Fiskars cut better. I owned at one time a Rowenta Iron that I spent over $100.00 for, but I love my Sunbeam yard sale find that I got for two or three clams. This might sound crazy, but there is nothing that I own that can not be replaced. (Unless it will come over and wash the dishes.)
