The second time I guess I got too much speed going because I almost slit thru the plastic edge. I usually use a ruler and a piece of masking tape (and a role of masking tape costs a whole pile less than that June Tailor thingy)

I have a couple of rulers that seem to be seldom used and pricey. And of course, like many, my quilting tastes have evolved so there's plenty of pattern books that I give away.

The flat square rotating mat is one I don't like. It never stays together and awkward to spin. I love the Martelli Roundabout one.

I bought the binder tool. Never used it.

I bought one (binder tool) too, and always had to look at the directions to use it...admittedly I am left/right challenged. I've heard some use it as a template for quilt pieces, i.e. pioneer braid strips.

I also got rid of my rotating mat; i don't remember the brand, but it was square and green. The corners and center were not well supported, so almost any cut ended up wavy. Ugh!

The pressing stick, I think it's called The Strip Stick, is the item I spent money on and never used. It's sitting in a drawer somewhere. |
I bought it read instructions and never used
|
Oh yeah, I retired my square rotating mat too. I bought a Matilda and love it. It was really cheap on Craftsy a few years back. Love it.
The square was a pain. |

i can relate! I forget what the heck i have all the tme. It's the main reason I like see-through containers or having things visible in some form or fashion. I do try to stay organized, but it gets complicated some times with space issues, etc.
