My favorite notion is the one I haven't bought yet. My DH says if I don't have the latest sewing thing it's because I haven't seen it. He is so right. I'd have to say right now it's the Simplicity bias tape maker. Seam rippers are a very important tool in my sewing studio. I think I have every brand there is. Scissors, I love scissors, I have over 150 pairs they are in every room of the house.

After sewing for approximately 40 years fighting with cheap scissors, I finally invested in good Gingher scissors - both a big pair and a small pair. Every time I pick up one of those scissors I feel a little 'thrill'. Okay, guess it doesn't take much to make me happy.

I love good marking pencils. Do presser feet count as notions? I love the presser feet.

Wow! Alot of you love your seam ripper? Not me-just means I messed up again!

Does a table top ironing board count as a notion? Means I never have to get up again!

Can't live without my Havel Snip-Eze scissors. They are a squeeze type clipper with curved blades.

Sassy Sally sent me a nifty little wooden point turner/presser for Christmas that I simply adore! It means that I don't have to run to the iron with every seam, and the point turner works like a charm!

I love notions and have quite a collection. One of my absolute favourites is the "Purple Thang" which is about the size of a crochet hook but much more versatile. It has a perfect 1/4" square on one end, a slightly curved hook on the other to gently poke out corners and a slit to thread elastic or ribbon. It does all of this and more and sells for $3.75 in Canada. Another favourite is the Clover chalk markers (under $10)which make a great line and stay on long enough to quilt or write a label and still come off easily. I have them in yellow, pink and blue!

I probably have most of the notions on th market. Sooooooo my favorite is the one I don't have yet. Should be some new stuff at the Expo. I am kind of partial to rotarys. I have several different styles.
