Well I am seeing people liking and using some stuff that others thought useless. Maybe time to sell some stuff?

In a class I took, the instructor said to rub the pounce over the template and not pat it on so the chalk would go onto the quilt instead of into the air.

The suction cup ruler holders work really well on the edge of the bathtub (it has to be very clean) for those who have trouble getting out because of arthritis or after they've had an operation.
They also work on the wall of a (again, very clean) shower for those with balance or stability problems.

This phase of my quilting life I tend to buy the tools that will make the parts of quilting I find tedious more fun.
I bought the Acuquilt Go, and the Simplicity Bias Binding machine.
I had a lot of trouble with the Pounce until I learned to use it the right way, now it works just fine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZvWVNJHHqs

I love and use the June Taylor strip ruler every time I make a quilt....I use it for strip cutting blocks and binding....it's 12 inches square and has got a slit every 1/4 inch.
I bought a magnetic bowl at Harbor Freight and also like it a lot. It's the small size and it's just right.
