Me too! I have EQ7, so the Fabri-Calc is not necessary. Wish I had spent the $40 on fabric. lol

Thanks for posting this link. I have one that I purchased several years ago and I haven't used it. Curves still scare me to death! lol I'll have to dig it out and give it a try.

I have a ton of books...I didn't really get them for the patterns, but just enjoy looking through them. For inspiration. But seldom do that now. Would love to have half the money spent on them, though I really don't have a lot compared to some.

The dumbest thing I ever bought was when the first mat/turntables (?) came out. I just had to have one. Well, it was oblong, and wobbled...I don't think I used it over once or twice. It is just as easy to have a smaller mat and turn it around. And takes up less space.

Also have one of the Jodi Barrows rulers and one book...I have experimented a little, but again, basically a complete waste of time.

I learned not to waste money buying things that work just as good, the real items work as they are suppose to and last longer.

I have too, my husband doesn't like when I "cheap out" on my hobby. It ends up costing more in the long run.

I regret buying this red round hoop thingy that is supposed to give you better control over fabric movement while free motion quilting. Never use it. Have to take the foot off to get it in position. What a waste.
