Antique Hat pin, use it to hold that last micro inch as it goes under the needle. Painters tape to lay out grid lines to keep my quilting lines straight, Pin cushion I made using .0000 steal wool in it to help keep needles and pins sharp. Rubber shelf liner under my foot peddle, keeps it from walking around under my machine. Small magnet on a extending arm (found at auto store) for picking up droped metal things, pins, thimble, scissors, its really great when something rolls under something I cann't move.

It is purple and can be or do lots of things. Just depends on what you want to do with it. it is kinda like a favorite stick.

Creative Grids rulers, built in grippers and can see the fabric much better in addition to helping cut more accurate lines.

I love the purple thang too. Even had a dream where my baby broke it. Glad it was a dream
