    1 looks like part of a frame
    2 template for making scallopped boarders
    3 pressing ham
    4 pattern holder/stand
    5 dahlia pattern (To see part of one, look on page 125 under Horsing Around. Under the horse blankets is the dahlia quilt my mom made us.)
    6 template for making dresden plates or circlular patterned quilts (Does it say what angle--20 degree--on the ends or edges?)
    7 template for making 2 1/4"-9 3/4" triangles.
    If you look in quilt supply catalogues you can see how they use the products. Nancy's notions is one catalogue or web site.

    For the first and last one, which appear to be the same, they have JT on them which may stand for June Taylor. I'd google to find her web site and browse to see what she has that are close to these.

    Boy, do I feel old. I still use a pressing ham sometimes. It is great for curved seams.

    The 4th picture turns into an easel to put your book or pattern in. I use it for cross stitch.

    Nancy Zieman uses the pressing ham for quilting when she is pressing seams on small pieces, she says it keeps the fabric from stretching.

    Number 6 is a Kaye Wood ruler named Starmaker 5. Here is a link for one of the patterns she has developed for this ruler.

    the first and last are definitely a thread holder. It stands up on the flat part, there should be a small dowell to put through the thread spool and hole on top to insert scissors. Useful to set by your chair when hand sewing. Think you got correct answers to all the rest
