One of the things that impresses me about quilting is the number of gadgets that are available!

Which one is your favourite?

Mine is my rotary cutter. I can't cut a straight line with scissors no how, no way, and I'm captivated by how neat and easy the rotary cutter arrangement is.

One of my favorite NON gadget is the Lint Roller. It keeps my room clean. :)

My favorite is my little nippers that I keep on a ribbon around my neck when I sew! I tried all different kinds, but these are the best. They were only $5.00 and are so sharp and handy.

The seam ripper! Hands down. How did anyone sew before this handy little gadget was invented?

I love all my gadgets and it is very hard to pick one. I love my sixth finger, my seam ripper, my dry iron, all of them.

A chopstick.
I use it to poke my corners out nicely :D
However I would not be able to live without my rotary cutter that's for sure... that is just a given... but other than that - yeah, a chopstick.

Can I count my two hands? I use them more than anything.

I have to go along with the seam ripper. At times, it is my best friend lol.

I vote for my Martelli Rotary Cutter and my fancy seam ripper that is a little razor blade on a finger nail file looking stick. It's really more of a seam slicer but it does have the little pick end on the blade that came pre-installed. It comes with extra little razor blades in different shapes. It is sharper than the normal seam rippers and I don't stab myself with it like I do with the others. I had a smaller version that I got from Shirley's Sewing Stuff which I also loved but then I found it's big brother at a Hancock Fabrics that was going out of business. I don't see it on their website now so not I'm not sure what brand it is.
