by far, my old wrist pin cushion from stretch and sew. its at least 30 yrs old and I couldn't sew without it. if anyone knows where I can get a new one let me know. the band that goes around your wrist is red plastic and it has what looks like black inch thick felt to hold the pins.

I am very happy with my new Accuquilt GO. It cuts half-square triangles easily, cuts off the dog ears in advance, and so long as I maintain a consistent 1/4 inch seam, which I do, I never have to square them. To me, your way, which is also the way I used to do it, is old fashioned! Sorry!

Definitely my rotary cutter and mat - I'd find it hard to quilt without them. John James embroidery needles comes next.

I have the greatest pair of thread snippers. I love them!!! No chances of cutting the material at all.

My shape cut ruler. Bought my first one in 1995 off QVC. Before they were in stores. Now my second one is in need of replacing but it's so worth it because I use it everyday.

All of the above plus my telescoping magnet I got at the auto store. I don't have to bend or crawl to pick up needles pins or my seam ripper.
