I use sandpaper dots for the back of my rulers to stop slipping, chop sticks for poking corners and feeding fabric, Plastic containers that strawberries come in. They ar4e perfect for 2 1/2 inch squares.
|
I have a pair of surgical pickups(look like big tweezers)I use them a lot for anything that they will work on.

I have used a large T-square for cutting out my borders. Its 48" long and the T part hooks onto the edge of the table and good to go. Works great.

one thing i didn't see listed is a white plastic spoon.. i put it behind the eye of the machine needle, so i can see where to thread it... works every time.

chop sticks to press down instead of using ur fingers
my record rack to hold my rulers shoe hanger which has pockets to hold thread and other sewing stuff made a sewing center out of a Ushaped computer desk and added an ironing section used a insolation board to make my design board my sewing machine bag is really a rolling tool bag I use clear sheet to hold my patterns and buy notebooks to store copies of my patterns |
Chop Sticks to poke out corners when making pillow cases etc.
|
The white plastic spoon is a winner
