One of my favorite stores,husband thought he was the only one going shopping there, lots of heplful items. I bought some floor mats that snap together like a puzzle ,these I use in front of my cutting table the feet and legs like the support.

Great finds. I'll have to shop at our store alittle more often.

On your sewing basket, you might want to rethink removing the handle. Mine is like this and the the handle is part of the construction for side support. Does yous open out like stair steps to each side? that was the original design of these. And these can be vintage. Mine is from 1970's, my DH bought me mine.

Also found the sewing basket at a Yard Sale for $5. I am going to take off the the handle as it gets in the way of opening the sliding draws.

Thanks a million I know were I am going next time I get a chance too.

I always find quilting and sewing tools at Harbor Freight and the hardware store.

you need to GO back! They have a 12 inch magnetic bar that is perfect for holding scissors and anything else magnetic! Also they have a wrist band that is perfect to hold your pins while you are working!!

Wow, I never knew this! I always sit in the van while DH goes in and buys. He loves that store. Uhm...wondering if he didn't tell me on purpose! LOL Probably figures he spends enough money in there all by himself! haha

OMG I've been using the same blade in my cutter for several months now..I get all my blades from Harbor Freight.. I actually think they are sharper than the other blades too. Can't go wrong with the price even if you have to throw one or two away, it's really worth it...Luv that store...
