No matter what is invented to be new or different for quilters there will always be those that say it's too expensive and you don't need it. LOL That is the majority of the responses when any new tool is posted about here.

I also hope, when I get there, God will have designed my 'mansion' with a glorious sewing studio! :) Jan in VA I really don't care what is in the future. I am happy to be quilting with my rotary cutter and mat. Not interesting in any of the die cut gadgets. |
Who knows, there just might be an app for technical devices to help complete projects at home from the place of employment. Just plug the machines, vintage and current with USB adapters into the devices and for a few minutes at a time let the chain piecing begin!!!

Who knows, but I think they should have a rotary cutter with a counter, and of course someone would have done the testing to see about when to change the blade! You know how we all forget about it until it gets really bad?! What do ya'll think about this, would you buy it? Betcha would! LOL!

It is interesting to see how techniques change -
Remember when applique was only done by needle-turn or tacked down with a buttonhole stitch? (No fusibles way back when!) |
Regarding newfangled gadgets we might not really need...
I get by on the bare minimum because I always have. For economic reasons and simplicity's sake But if you have the means to buy any tool you want and the time to learn and use it and it helps you then more power to you! I have been using the bare minimum for so long that I'm used to it and too set in my ways to start using all kinds of fancy stuff Even if I could afford all the new gadgets I couldn't justify the expense because I'm not that good at it it's just something I love doing |
My take on this whole topic:
A new technique or tool is worth considering. An old tool or technique may still be worthy of keeping. I do not always define "better" as newer or older. |
Fabric that does not shrink, bleed or fade. Thread that does not break or make a mess of lent.
|
I had to have a rotary cutter when they first came out.
I couldn't afford it, but other than that, the only other thing I NEEDED was the Brooklyn revolver, the turning matt . I use it sometimes, but that rotary cutter is use a lot. |
Oh, I know, a red fabric and thread that don't bleed. why is the red I want
always bleed??? |
