Chopsticks for "pushing" out corners of pillowcases.
Bamboo skewers to use as a stilletto when sewing seams. Pedicure toe separators to hold threaded bobbins. Half a clothespin to "finger Press" seams. I used a pigma pen and decorated it with little flowers. |

I just pop the blades thru the slit until I have enough to take in for recycling.

When I spray baste a quilt together and it is finished, the cut off part wadded up works great to clean all the lint and dust from mats, etc. just like a tack cloth

I have also used a light that fits on my head like an ole coal miners light. It shines right where I am looking. And somedays my eyes are not so great so this really helps.

I use chop sticks to guide my fabric under the needle.

Blue painter's tape to hold backing of quilt sandwich.
Empty almond tin to hold broken needles old rotary blades etc. Mr. Clean sponges to hold while FMQ-works better than hot gloves for me. |
