Mustache trimmer as seam ripper.

I like the trimmer, its also for cutting off any of the long threads,that get on the front of the quilt

Freezer paper! I use it to print my labels on the fabric from my printer. Found the tutorial here - http://craftygemini.blogspot.com/201...-for-free.html

A knitting needle is great for turning straps for totes.

LOL..great question..I use a really cool dart as a stiletto..to guide fabric..ripped off Hubby's T-square..lint roller for threads..The biggy thing is..flat hair clips for various things..they are great for binding!! I have a housefull of Grandkids today..but later when I'm sane..I'm sure I'll think of more !!

Elmer's Washable School glue. I can tame any block, border or anything else using dots of it.

Cookie cutters for templates. Medicine bottles for used needles and pins.

I also use medicine bottles for used needles. I use tins for holding pins. I use make-up bags for holding my binding kits (made several so I can work on different projects and take them with). I use the covered pony tail holders around bobbins (saw as a suggestion elsewhere).

I have the Harbor Freight blades as well.
