I like the pins flat headed button pins from Dritz - you can iron over them.

Telescoping magnet from auto parts store or dept (about three foot long is the one I have); seam ripper; stilletto; bamboo skewers; chop sticks (believe me they comes in handy for a variety of things); small spray bottle for misting; pkg. of sharps or betweens; fiberglass tape measure (at least 120"); metal ruler from office supply place; metal tape measure from the hardware store or dept.; pkg. of real cork corks; fabric erasers; roll of Press 'n Seal Wrap and a Sharpie fine point marker; Flat flower head pins --the longer and finer the better; roll mat for camping or kindergarten --the compressed cell foam ones --great to help eliminate machine walking if you're using a portable machine. And that is the tip of the iceberg.
