well, as usual, i bought it for one thing, used it for a few years on my computer and then decided one day to put under my serger as it vibrates all over during marathon serging sessions... it was so good that i bought more and now am thinking about buying 2 more so i can double up under the serger and machine... they really quiet the machines that that's enough reason to have them, but he button/grocery bag thing was an afterthought one messy serging day (serging towels equals a TON of lint!).... and then of course a few months later the quilting strips kept getting messed up in my chair wheels .... otherwise all known as an 'Evolution of a Sewing Tip!'

I have an odd metal rack which was supposed to hold a set of drawers or shelves, and it is 30 inches high. I use it to line up strips, store them whiles I'm cutting, and drape both quilt and strips over it.
I also use the cardboard spools from gift-wrap ribbons - great for bindings too!

When I am working on a log cabin or something that uses dark and light strips,I use a music stand like bands use for sheet music. I can put dark on 1 side and light on the other side.I bought 2 at a yard sale for $1.00.

I vaccuum the ends of a jelly rolls and honey buns to take care of all the fuzz from the tiny pinking. I use a dust buster, works well and keeps lint out of my sewing machine. A friend of mine sprays spray starch on both sides of the rolls after vacuuming and swears by it. I will try that on my next jelly roll project.
