I have a mid-arm quilt machine and use the new curved eye brow tweezers from Avon to pull up my bobbin thread at the start of each row.

This subject is one of the best one's that I've read. It helps me alot to see what everyone else uses to aid in their quilting.

Yoga mat on top of sewing table. It is a nice big piece of foam that can be cut to size and it cuts down the vibration from the sewing machines (and adds some color to the room!). I'm going to try using scraps of it to keep foot pedals from moving around now that I have hardwood floors.
