I like mine also. I just used it to cut for pillow cases. Made it much easier. This is the June Taylor strip ruller.

The best is my big 12 1/2 inch clear ruler, helps to keep all square, and not a notion but could not live without is the "knee life arm" on my Bernina.

My new rotary cutter and my bigger cutting board. Lots of thread and of course fabric to go with it. I would love to have a long arm but don't have the space or money.

I have recently fallen in love with a smooth tracing wheel. You can mark severel layers of fabric, like for half square triangle units and don't have to worry about the marks not washing out!

Just got on this blog and can someone please tell me what a Steady Betty is? I have never heard of it and I am a sucker for notions but have never come across it.

What notions & tools are on your wish list?

What notions & tools are hard to find at LQS's?

Inquiring minds want to know!
Does a Gammill quilter with computer count?

Being a hand quilter, I would not be able to do without my desk top needle threader.

My favorite is the fabric. Best tools are: ruler rotary cutter and mat. Although we can use scissors and a drawing pencil if we don't have these.
