all 3 of the blade sharpeners I bought are useless

Rotary blade sharpers, that rule grip with the suction cups, the rotary mat that turns, the Fons and Porter mat .. that has no lines. Oh and that can of June Tailor spray basting... the smell!

Steady Stiching

A long squared see through 1/4 inch marker from dritz I think...its not a tru 1/4, its bulky too.

That is easy a bobbin winder. My sewing machine is pretty picky about tension and the bobbins wound on the bobbin winder were not right. I had to take it back.

The people I know with walmart machines didn't even know there is such a thing as a sewing machine dealer. If they didn't buy the least expensive machine offered, they didn't think they were going "cheap". My first machine was a walmart brother and it lasted 20 years, my next machine was a $200 kenmore from sears and it was fantastic. I use an expensive Bernina now, but it is a luxury good, and I know that.



Notion that I wish I hadn't purchased: yo-yo makers.

I teach Learn to Quilt classes at my LQS and lots of people come in with $99 Singers, etc. We need to be kind...these newbies do not have the experience and years of quilting that many of us do. I am very lucky to have a Bernina that I just love, but many people do not know that there are shops that specialize in better quality machines, or they may not have the financial resources to buy a great machine. I teach everyone who comes to me, regardless of their machine quality, and usually, once they see what a good machine can do, they begin saving to buy a nicer machine.

Worst -------General's chalk markers. They are great until you have to sharpen them. The chalk continues to break every time I try to sharpen them. Grrrr

Bobbin winder. just doesn't work.

I made the mistake of buying one of the ring holders for my rulers. You have to take all the ones in front off to get to the one you need. Now I use it to hold stencils. What a waste.

It has it's uses; but I am not impressed with the Mini Clover Iron. I HATE the Dritz Basting Gun, the needle leaves a hole in the fabric and I always worry that I will cut my material when removing the basting, so I hand baste.
