What are your favorite tools?
I am just starting out and have found a few tools that have quickly become my favorites, and am still discovering things. What are yours?
My favorites:
Shape Cut Pro slotted ruler
GrabbIt magnetic pin cushion
Seam-Fix seam ripper
and then of course the essential rotary cutter and mat, but that goes without saying

I have a very small pair of scissors...not sure who makes them but I got them at the LQS. The blades are about an inch and a half to two inches long and the handles are black. They are sharp all the way to the point. I love them so much I have three or four pair placed strategically around the house. Absolutely essential!

And my design wall, which is simply W&N cotton batting tacked to the wall.
