they don't work well in the package. I love mine and use it all the time.

The Gypsy Grippers to me are more for safety. If I cut without using one I feel like I forgot to fasten by seatbelt.

my plastic bobbin keeper broke on the way home from the store!! i still use it as i like things with lids (dust)...i too like the magnetic pin holder, i bought non slip gloves at the dollar store, i think they were for gardening, they are cotton with rubber dots on the palm side. lovely. saved 15$ and they fit my big knobby hands.
i have yet to use the $25 'pouncer' or the triangle ruler. what i use most..seam rippers, i have 5 of them, in all places around the sewing room. i use a fine screw driver instead of a 'purple thang' to poke and hold down. i am addicted to quilt magazines, have so many useless ones. but can't stop buying them.

i just love the basting spray, but not the odour or the sticky stuff that gets over the area beside the quilt.

Ohhh, will check out the fishing dept someday soon!

What is the Snap Ware Unit and where did you find your hint online?

maybe a salt shaker? and a sponge of some sort?

Love mine too, cannot do without them now:P

i cannot get onto using a thimble, i will try the cut off ends of rubber gloves tho. o poor you paying so much for a thimble, a moment of weekness? mine was buying a 'quilt in the ditch' foot for my machine. 19$ and silly, i make as many slips out of the ditch as i do normally.

i have many pencil markers that don't work, one soft one that does. i really like the chalk marker with the wheel inside. can't recall the brand, cost under ten dollar, and worth it.
