I do not like the twister ruler. I have purchased 2 different sizes and when I try and use it I get so confused and it goes back into my template container. I am going to give it to one of my quilting friends in my group if they want it.

The binding tool drives me crazy. I do something wrong everytime but it seems like such a good idea that I keep trying.
It works really well to make a binding tool star quilt and the missouri star video on YouTube is very easy to follow.

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)
The tool that was a waste of money for me - a walking foot. Too noisy and just don't care for using it.

Before I did this, I couldnt' tell you how many times I repurchased something because I couldn't remember having it already.
