    I think that's why mine didn't work. Thank you!

    Sounds like a great way to de-stress!

    I do not like the twister ruler. I have purchased 2 different sizes and when I try and use it I get so confused and it goes back into my template container. I am going to give it to one of my quilting friends in my group if they want it.

    I try to use the basic rulers and try not to buy a ruler needed for a specific quilt. Have done it, used it once and there it now sits.

    The binding tool drives me crazy. I do something wrong everytime but it seems like such a good idea that I keep trying.
    It works really well to make a binding tool star quilt and the missouri star video on YouTube is very easy to follow.

    June Taylor strip ruler with slots. Strips never straight. Ruler for making a Pineapple quilt. Heavy thimbles for hand quilting.

    I've tried every thiimble know to man or woman and the only one that works for me is a leather thimble. You just have to find what works for you.

The second time I guess I got too much speed going because I almost slit thru the plastic edge. I usually use a ruler and a piece of masking tape (and a role of masking tape costs a whole pile less than that June Tailor thingy)
    I love mine - It's getting worn and I will replace it in a heartbeat. I simply can't cut straight without it. I even use it to square up blocks. I did purchase the one with 1/4" slots and I don't like it. Too busy.

    The tool that was a waste of money for me - a walking foot. Too noisy and just don't care for using it.

    This is why most of my stuff is out in the open where I can see it. I have RA, and the brain fog that accompanies it. I made matching fabric bins that don't have lids so I can see what I have but the matching bins tend to make it look less cluttered - more cohesive. And everything needs to go right back where it belongs as soon as I'm done or I can't find it. lol

    Before I did this, I couldnt' tell you how many times I repurchased something because I couldn't remember having it already.
