Seam rippers and scissors are mulitples for me. I need them in lots of different places.

I'd have to say just about everything, scissors, seam ripper, rotary cutters, blades, sewing machine needles, and the list goes on. I have a definite knack for losing something 6 seconds after I put it down. Drives me crazy.

Oh my gosh, I loose multiples of everything! I would hate to find out just how many seamrippers are lurking around in my studio:)

I like the posts from people who say put stuff back in the place where it belongs. I have a tray next to my sewing machine which has most things I use all the time, even a few presser feet. I have a cup with no handle near the sofa for pencils and a seam ripper. I have two small "waste baskets" that are carried from the sewing machines to the sofa. I could use at least two more. They are just drink mix containers and work well. I have seam rippers at the machine, by the sofa, in my purse and in the bag that goes to quilt club. My small scissors is hanging from a 24 inch piece of elastic around my neck. That 's the handiest thing yet.
Do I loose stuff. You bet!

How about one of each thing with a built in homing device - push a button and the thing would beep - need it for the car keys, too.

Rulers, tape measures, and almost everything Jan said...but I do only have one pin cushion. It is a magnetic one and I take it with me wherever I need pins. The nice thing about it, I can kind of toss the pins towards it and they go in. :) I tried having two chairs in my sewing room but there wasn't enough room--so I took one out. But then, I don't really need two since I only have one reg. sewing machine and one embroidery machine.

I am always having to buy because I must have a Hugh mountain somewhere of straight pins and quilting safety pins. It almost seems that every time I need them I end up buying more.
I know the borrowers take some things but what are they doing with thousands of pins? Is it scaffolding for houses., bridges or ?.......

I'm with you, TinkerQuilts!

Bandaids in place of a thimble... What a great idea!!!!

I have extra magnetic telescoping wands they come in handy for me and the mechanic in the family (not usually me:thumbup:), also long measuring tapes 120", needles, I seem to have collected several different types of non-electric pressing "irons", duplicate sewing machine feet....
