I am one of them and it is GREAT! So glad someone on the board told us about it. Don't forget to use your coupon--I didn't have one but it was on sale. One of my best purchases

I've bought a metal telescoping stick with a magnet on the end. It's great for picking up a dropped pin on the floor without bending over and throwing out my back.

Ditto this. Blades had nicks and were terrible to use. Never again.

I bought a perfect storage container to hold all my sewing machine feet and accessories for $3.99 at HF. It has 24 compartments that work really well for machine accessories with removable partitions so I have room for big things like my buttonhole foot and couching guides.
Dollar Tree has really nice small plastic storage box in their tools for holding small items like embellishments. Of course, it's only $1. I have several of these boxes that I use for resin crystals and other findings. They stack flat and don't take up much space.

Any help / suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
I like the straight edge rulers to mark lines on the quilt top to quilt on up to 60" long and 2 different widths. .

If you forget your coupons for Harbor Freight, just use your smartphone. Google Harbor Freight Coupons and they pull right up. I never carry coupons with me anymore. Do the same for Joann's, etc.

My husband has the best screwdriver for removing screws on the plate. It has the flat head on both ends but the the metal is curved differently on each end and allows me to get to places where my hands are too large. I have the screwdriver from the local quilt store and the one from Brother. However, they do not work as well as my husbands! (One of these days, he is going to lose it, lol)!
