Like Aurora, I also use the screwdriver. It is always at the machine, since with my vintage machine I need it to change the feet.
|
I use an orange stick, and have since I was in grade school. That was NOT last weeek. A quilt guild was handing out flat at both end sticks at a show last spring and other than being long, I believe I like them better.

Ok, was totally thinking shoes...LOL
|
I use a pick from an old nut cracker set I have. One end pointed and the other end I use to cradle pins (for closing) when I pin baste a quilt sandwich.
|
dab of Elmer's, maybe? many of QBrs swear by the stuff...I'm dying to try it....I have a quilt in mind to start and I want to try it. BTW, I do use a stilettol even when reg.sewing.
|
I haven't but I will have to pull one (or something similar) out of my craft toys and try it
|
Mine sits right in front of the machine along with my nippers and use it all the time. Great for easing in a little fullness without a pucker. I have a nice study metal one my kids gave me for mother's day one year. Maybe its the memories of my kids that make it special, I don't know, but I know I wouldn't be without one.

I use a Purple Thang and wooden skewers that you can get in a pkg of 50 or so for very little. I have the skewers everywhere and if you lose one you've always got a ready supply.

I'm so fearful... 1) of cutting myself with rotary cutter and 2) of with hitting my finger with the machine needle in motion! A paper cut almost sends me to the trauma ward, I can only imagine what an injury from a moving sewing machine needle would do to me. :0)
Add me to the list of Purple Thangs. I buy a dozen each year during Quilt week when they are ridiculously low sale priced at our little quilt shop. Then I give them as 'surprise' little thangs in gifts and snail mails to friends who sew or quilt. I also have a quill and chopstick near the machine all get used from one time to another. |
I always ask for extra chopsticks at our local Asian restaurant. Put one end in the pencil sharpener ~ Voila! Free Stiletto and I have extras everywhere so I'm not always searching for one.
