I bought the Angler 2 but never could get it to be easy to use. I bought a Pam Bono dvd. How to use the Angler is shown in detail and it made everything clear.
I like trying new quilting tools and gadgets. Some or hits some or misses. I found the misses are more from me not using it correctly.

I was going to buy the June Tailor's shape cut ruler but decided my cutting board and rulers work well. Same with the Accucut and Cricut.
I have a sister that sews and does a lot of crafts. I have to be careful when talking to her because she does collect everything and she makes everything sound wonderful. Then I get it and it is not so wonderful or useful or what I really want to do.

The brain of your computerized machine is in the upper part of it..there is nothing wrong with using a magnetic pin holder near your machine.
i have been using one for years, at least 6 years, i have the janome 6600. no problems what so ever.
Same here, I have been using mine since I had the machine. Never any problems.

I don't like my AccuQuilt Go. I can cut faster with my rotary cutter and rulers. I also don't like the quilt basting tool. It leaves too big of a hole in the fabric and those little plastic things go everywhere when you clip them out. I also bought a thimble that cost me $37.00 with 25% off and I just can't get used to it. That is all I can think of right now but my sewing room is full of unused stuff.

Well I am seeing people liking and using some stuff that others thought useless. Maybe time to sell some stuff?
