Ott light, good sewing chair, plenty of rotary cutting blades, the Big Look (so I can thread the needle and it forces me to sit straighter), Santa bought me a Accuquilt Go Big (but hide it ;)but think it's going to improve my cutting precision, new ironing board cover, Tri-Recs ruler (one of the few specialty rulers that I've used often), lot of the big "Ziploc" bags that you find at Dollar Tree to put projects in progress in,a Dr. Sholl's or similar heated,vibrating chair pad for that ergonomically correct chair.

Rotary cutter blades, stitch regulator for my Juki, June Taylor strip cutter, accu-cut go. I am astounded my list is so short:)

Well I have just told Santa that I must have a bobbin side winder and he said that he will see what he can do. To save him the hassle of digging deep into his sack I have just purchased one on-line :D so that it will be sure to be delivered on time.

Really not sure if it is a "must -have" but it will stop the frustration of having to unwind the machine to wind a bobbin.

I vote for the accuquilt. I have one and use it a lot. But this year my eye was on one of those Oliso irons that you see Jenny on MSCQ tutes. My friend who knows everything says NO. I am up in the air.

Just made a discovery. If you iron the heat and bond to a 10 inch layer cake batik after you cut off the 1 1/2 inch side, then you fold in half like the tute says, and place it on the butterfly accuquilt, but not the body because you want the body of the butterfly to be brown and not colored....then you can get a half hexie out of the scrap. If you don't understand, then private mail me and I'll explain again.

I have these and when someone used my first pay of these and knick was put in the middle of the blade I did not hesitate and went right out and got another pair. I still have the other pair and use as nippers. I have the razor edge. They never make it out of the sewing room.

How about a housekeeper for a day so you won't feel guilty about spending time in your sewing room?

Thanks for the heads up on these scissors. Sounds like the solution to problems I have with scissors.

I just need more breathing room/downsizing. Only thing I don't have is a long arm and not a must have for me. That's ok. My 401 does well for no more than I do. Would love to have couple tall cabinets to put my stash in an on the other side of the room.

I love the June Taylor 1/2 and 7/8 inch rulers where you insert your rotary cutter and cut. I love them.
