The mini iron, that looks like a regular iron, it is so light that it ends up all over the place, oh well, it was very cheap so I do not feel bad. Not all notions are good ones, I probably have more, just can not think of them.

June Tailor shape cutter rulers. Need 700 2" squares - no problem.

I was also lucky enough to come across a few GREAT USED full size irons - I love them.

I use my mini iron for Celtic applique to get those bias strips in place and for paper piecing mini quilts as those seams are tiny. Then again I don't have a travel iron!

On the other hand, I bought the Martelli ergonomic rotary cutter, used it a couple of times, and haven't touched it since. I like my Olfa much better.

I have a ruler that measures 24" by 6.5 " and has a rotary cutter attached to it. Made by Fiskers. (my dh got me this for Christmas) I have a lipped ruler. I just love these

I have a tabletop needle threader haven't gotten it to work yet.

The best thing I have is my sewing machine, the threader and thread cutter, I have to admit I love. Have considered changing machines, but without these two features I would have to stick with my machine. Saves so much time, especially the threader, oh my gosh....

Wouldn't it be WONDERFUL if some of these manufactures of the newest gadgets let US use them and give them OUR critique?? yeahhhhhhhhhh...........

i agree.Fabric is expensive enough without paying large amounts for notions we don't use. Mother knew best, keep it simple.

I love my sidewinder bobbin winder. my wonderful Pfaff quilting sewing machine that I won on our local shophop, and my rulers.

I don't like my little bitty iron and my 12 1/2" square up ruler that I have no clue how to use.

I love my sewing machines and my rotary cutters. I use my Sidewinder a lot. But I do plug it in. I love my new bigger cutting mat. I have almost nothing I don't use.

Love the flip-top seam ripper, now if I could just figure out where it disappeared to.
Also loved my Fiskars razor edge scissors that I put in 'a good safe place out of kids reach'...
