Any rotary sharpening thing--I've bought a couple of things. None have worked well.
I am not a gadget person,--much rather collect fabric--so I don't have a lot of gadgets I have bought that I've not used. I did buy a bias binder maker once and haven't used it yet, but I may, so I don't consider it a waste...I'm glad I have it....it wasn't really very pricey or big, so didn't take much room in the suitcase.

I guess the one quilting item I bought and used only a few times is the Alto Quilt Cut 2. It's a quality product but I don't like using it at all.

couple rulers like the twister. Not sure i'll use it. I bought the rotary sharpener from a tv show and sent it back. Worthless. Had my copy of the receipt. Took 3-4 months before I got my refund. We argued about the time I had it in my possession. 1 week and dates of comparison were pointed out They said I didn't give it time. I tried it on 6 blades immediately and had DH try it. Won't do that again. If I can't just go to a store to get it, I don't need it that bad.

I once bought an Alex Anderson "Four In One" tool. It had a seam ripper, a stiletto, a flat part for "finger pressing" and a pointy thing for poking out corners. It was wooded & pretty but the caps over the stiletto & ripper would fall off & it was really poorly made. I did not like it at all.
