I love mine! I found one a Goodwill this summer, for my mom. She has all of her quilting friends wanting them now :0)

I bought three last year at the Lancaster show. I think they were about $6. Worth every penny but it would have been nice to pay a dollar. I'm using it right now on my computer chair, have one in the car, one on the futon in our second bedroom.

Saw them at the Dollar store in Menomonee Falls WI and thought they were a gimmick, now I wish I had picked one up. I could use one in the recliner where I set most of my idle time.

I'm going to have to try this!

As to the comment about the folks at the quilt show: it costs a pretty penny to have a booth at the quilt show. And it is a convenient and exciting place to buy the latest and the greatest.

Also, from what I understand there are different 'qualities'of materials these things are made of. And the 'little guys' (quilt stores) don't have the huge volume of quantities to buy down the price like chain stores do.

Not that I won't be one of the folks going to the Dollar Tree ... I will. Just asking you cut the quilt show folks a little slack. Nothing is more disheartening as a shop owner to find what they thought was an 'exclusive' has been undercut and sold at discount chain stores. Debbie Mumm is a good example of quilt store 'cross-overs' to retail.

I'm not a quilt store owner but I was around the buiness enough when I was a national educator for Pfaff Sewing Machine Co to know some of the challenges they face as the 'little guys'.

Blessings,
Peggy in Florida

I checked two Dollar Tree Stores and neither had them. I was bummed because I wanted to buy a bunch for presents.

Not Me and I Don't Know put a hole in mine and now it isn't as bouncy and firm. I need to go check out the dollar tree and take it out of their allowances!
