Default gadgets and goodies

One of the ULTIMATE best purchases: quilters slide-lock. The website iswww.quiltersslidelock.com. I purchased the 24 inch & it makes cutting a dream. Go on their website to see the video. A day or two previously I had purchased the Martelli Sir Hammer Brand with the grip pad that has a handle like a trowel. The grip pad never stayed on! Consequently, it sits on a shelf. I LOVE the slidelock.

Definitely a long arm machine. Computerized. I have a mid arm now and I move it by hand, but would love one of those that cost as much as a new car.

The Halo is used for small quilting motifs not all over quilting. It took me several weeks of practicing but now I can use it with ease.

I would like a 2.5" wide ruler with little grippers on the back of it. Saw one recently and can't recall who made it. :-(

I bought one and in my opinion, it's not worth it. I could not grasp it to move the fabric. With that being said, I do have MS and feeling/controll in my fingers I don't have. Also, I did see a YouTube video where a lady used 2 of the one on top of another, but too expensive for me to buy and try.
