What are your favorite tools?
 

I am just starting out and have found a few tools that have quickly become my favorites, and am still discovering things. What are yours?

My favorites:

Shape Cut Pro slotted ruler
GrabbIt magnetic pin cushion
Seam-Fix seam ripper

and then of course the essential rotary cutter and mat, but that goes without saying

I have a very small pair of scissors...not sure who makes them but I got them at the LQS. The blades are about an inch and a half to two inches long and the handles are black. They are sharp all the way to the point. I love them so much I have three or four pair placed strategically around the house. Absolutely essential!

My Brother 1500, and I'm only half joking. I love this machine!
Kai scissors in 3 sizes.
John James needles.
Clover perfect fit leather thimbles.
Elmer's washable school glue, liquid and stick.
Alex Anderson's 4-in-1 seam ripper tool.
Olfa frosted rulers.
Ikea bendable LED desk lamp.
Niagra non-aerosol spray starch.
Both parchment and freezer paper.
Heat-resistant template plastic for applique.
Superior's Bottom Line thread.
And my design wall, which is simply W&N cotton batting tacked to the wall.

I absolutely love the Clover extra fine patchwork pins I bought after reading rave reviews on QB. I feel so spoiled every time I use them, lol.
