never have enough rippers...they seem to grow feet and walk away.......I wait for JoAnns to have 50%notion sale then I usually pick up "extras" of small stuff......not dups on rulers though...that can get quite pricey........
I wish though, that someone would make a hand needle threader a bit stronger and longer lasting than those silly little silver things with the thin wire that is offered.......I go through those like crazy when I am doing handwork..........any suggestions would be appreciated.......

I have multiple sets of notions. I need things at my cutting table, at my sewing table, at my planning table, near the couch when I am working on hand projects. I used to have a set that I used for everything. Then after looking for them multiple times, I went out and purchased more as money would permit. Now I am well stocked and seldom lose anything. Love it.

I have at least two sets of most notions. I leave one set in my bag that I take to classes, retreats and sew-ins. Before I got the extra notions, I was always forgetting something important (everything is important!). Now I don't have to worry about forgetting something.

Thanks for the chuckle! I needed that!

I have two houses, two sewing rooms, two sewing machines and duplicates of almost everything. Dozens of scissors, seam rippers, rotary cutters and rulers.

Now that I spend eight hours with my mother at my sister's apartment, I have a second set to make the blocks for quilts. That includes a sewing machine.

I think I have 2 or more of most small sewing notions because I misplace so many things and don't want to waste a lot of quilting time looking for them. I usually find everything and put it back in place when I finish a project and pick up my sewing area.

I have two or more of some rulers, rotary cutters, scissors, etc. I hand embroider and applique so I have a little travel kit with some duplicates and unique items. I use the travel kit at home too.
