A little pink ripper. It is old can't do without it. fits my hands and fingers perfectly.
Several of my rulers.
One I didn't like and gave to my sister was one of those suction cup handles for the rulers . Wouldn't stay on for me or her..
My Plexi sewing extension table. I can not sew without it.
My knee eze. it keeps my foot pedal from moving and is at a slant. Love it.

I was having trouble with NEW olfa blades - it seemed like they would not cut one or two threads - very annoying. Would skip every several inches.
I also found the blade sharpeners to be a dud. Couldn't tell any difference whatsoever on the blade after trying to use it.
What do you do with your dull blades?

Love my rotary cutting board, Rowenta travel iron, favorite rotary cutter (I panic if I can't find it..), and of course my own space where I can leave what I am working on and get back to it when I want to AND my computer for all the wonderful quilting web sites and free patterns. So glad so many responded with things they did not like, was thinking of buying a rotary sharpening tool--not now. OH - forgot, my favorite tool is my GrandMarke cutting table - great for cutting perfect squares each and every time.

My favorite tools are my rotary cutter, rulers and mat, my Havel seam ripper with the interchangeable surgical steel blades, my Tin Lizzie quilting machine, my Viking Sapphire, and of course, my fabric stash!!! :D
My least favorite tool is my ironing board-not big enough!
