I would love to find one of the Fiskars rotary cutting rulers that Eleanor Burns uses, until I get my hands on one of those, my June Tailor Strip cutter thing, templates, rotary cutters, cutting mat are on the cutting table. When I sit down to sew; a comfortable chair at the right height is vital, sewing machine that's functioning well, pins, threadcatcher/pincushion, Clover awl and seam ripper. One of the most important things for me is to have an iron and a small ironing mat on a small table to my right while I'm sewing so all I have to do is swivel my chair and press the seams, I also have a small rotating cutting mat and a rotary cutter beside the ironing pad. I also use a Clover double-ended needle threader a lot. Forgot one of the most used items, I use Gingher snips constantly when I sew, I have a pair at the machine and another in my sewing box for when I'm embroidering.
