I feel like I did when I was a kid with the new Sears Christmas catalog!

Since I am not rich, I have to pick and choose.
So what should I have?
What's your experience with Supreme Slider?
Is the Polly Paper the same thing as freezer paper?
Does the Sew-Steady Table work well? It is $120 and I have to pay extra for shipping to Canada.
Which Thangles size would be best.?..I am thinking 2.5" but I also use 3.5" HSTs.
Are the wrappable light and the machine light a necessity?
Decisions, decisions, decisions!
Thanks.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Many of the things you mentioned can be bought at Joanns with coupons. Try Allbrands.com for the Sew Steady table.
I use a cheap piece of canvas or muslin on top of my ironing board when using fusibles. Parchment works good too. I actually have a silicone pressing mat which is great. Fons and Porter has one they sell. Amazon has several and better prices.
