Well I would say the June Taylor shape cutter is by far my favorite, as for stupid buys, well lets see, do I have enough room to list them all. I love buying, and I love making things I already have work too. I quit the buying but I have a lot of things lets see if I can name a few, flying geese rulers, have had them for yrs and never used them yet, One of those cutters where you put your fabric in and use this blade that runs on a rail. I don't know what it is called, but it is absolutely helpless, I even have one for cutting paper and it is worthless too. Its the markings that tell you what the cut is. They are hard to get it right. Gee this is a fun subject.

My favorite tool is Omniedge ruler, but your response makes for another topic----favorite quilting tool that is not purposely made for quilting. :roll:

I LOVE your sewing table/bench.. HOW did you have multiple cut outs for each machine? I have three different machines each different sizes, and would love to make a similar table. Thanks.

I definitly agree about this board! And unfortunately I bought that stupid basteing gun too. I am on a limited budget and I could have kicked myself. No more listening to the quilt shop people until I have checked things out on this board!
