I use all of the above, but I also couldn't do without a sharp razor blade. I not only do quilts in my sewing room, I also do upholstery work. but one thing that I find that I am always up and down looking for is a measuring tape. I bought one that hangs around my neck and is retractable, but most of the time I just can't locate it. I probably sew in every room of my house!!
I also have my home sewing machine in my carrying case on rollers. I take it with me when I do my trips and when I go to someone to help them with a quilt. But at times I just set my featherweight up and away I go.
I also use those one person fold up tables. I like to use them to sew my squares on as I work on them.

Thanks for the recommendation for Sarah B's music. I'm not familiar with her work but will sure seek her out. Josh G. has been a fav of mine but when I last went to get one of his CD's they didn't have it in stock and I kinda forgot about it. You've reminded me so guess I'll go get one of his CD's today.
Have a great rest of the week.

THANK YOU for the fingernail scissor MUST HAVE item. I am appliqueing a tulip quilt right now and have been trying to cut those little whiskery threads with the smaller of my scissors. I'll go get my fingernail scissors out and give them a try. Thank you.

How do you use the bamboo skewers? Are they for pushing out corners and helping to turn tubes right side out? The vacuum is a wonderful idea...I use my lint brush alot when the thread gets too deep and I do vacuum whenever I do the rest of the house which is only about twice a week...there was a time when I vacuumed every day but I decided nobody (that would be ME) has to spend that much time doing something that isn't fun. Thanks for sharing your list.
