When I bought a curve master foot for my machine, the salesperson threw in a very sharp pair of tweezers. Wow, do I love them! I rarely use the foot, but I use those tweezers all the time for pulling threads out from under the needle, when doing "needle up, needle down" when machine quilting. They are useful, too for pulling big globs of dust out of the bobbin case.

Wonder clips- I almost fainted at the price but they are worth every penny.
Quilters Select Rulers- nothing compares.
Bloc-loc rulers- I had a phobia about buying all kinds of rulers but it's changing!
I just bought a Stripology ruler- can't wait to get it!!!
I think anything that makes quilting easier and more accurate is worth the money.

Wonder clips, stripology ruler and accuquilt Go...mine is just the regular hand crank one but I love it especially for strips. I am thinking of those rulers with handles...they have been flirting with me lately!

FYI Roxanne Glue Baste It glue, is Elmer's glue. I worked with a company that makes these types of water based glues. The CEO explained differences in glue and even the water that is used to produce it. I do like the tips that Roxanne Glue has. I have purchased several for the bottles/ tips and refill them with Elmer's glue. Roxanne sold the glue portion of her business some years ago. After that sale her daughter admitted at a quilt show that the glue was an "Elmer" type glue....nothing special. Love those tips! but refuse to pay $5 an ounce for Roxanne glue, when I can pay 2 cents per ounce for Elmer's.

SLIDELOCK RULER They may seem expensive but less expensive than a trip to the ER! Absolutely could not get along without the two I own. The 14" and the 24" lighted edge are the ones I've had for several years now. I have a healthy fear of rotary cutting, after reading several mishap posts on this board. The Slidelock keeps your hand/fingers away from that cutting edge. http://www.quiltersslidelock.com/purchase/
