I guess I am with most: Blade Sharpeners (have bought several different) and the Quilt Calculator

I also have those plastic clips-never used them. The same is true with the John Flynn set-up. Have several Martelli products that I questioned after I got them. Discovered their web site, once you get past the learning curve their products really do work well. I must have watched their ruler demo 40 times before I got the hang of it. I LOVE their cutting mat. Had an Alto, sold it.

My time

I bought these also. They don't work. I have also bought some useless bobbins, and quilting needles that have such small eyes I can't thread them.

My time

This has been such an interesting thread. Thanks for starting it!

I agree with Gay and aronel, I bought the same gadget and it is really useless.

I fell for this stupid "tacking" gun and little plastic things that was supposed to be a great and easy way to baste a quilt (which happens to be my most dreaded and avoided step). that thing is a total misery and I've never successfully used it. But it was fairly cheap, so no big deal.

Well, besides my current sewing machine...LOL....tulip needles. They have such great reviews, but the eye hole is so tiny. I cannot even get 2 ply Aurifil thread through it without the thread gathering up. Plus, the thread slips right through and I have to rethread the needle more often then any other needle that I have ever used. I bought sizes 8-12 in both the quilting and milliner's needles.

mlt and OnebyOne - I know the problem is "the pilot not the plane" but to me they are cumbersome and I never got the hang of using them. I guess I learned too long ago to cut without them. You know - "old dogs.........". If someone wants them at a reduced price they are for sale or trade for fabric. I ended up buying Creative Grid rulers that don't slip and love using them.
