I would add my magnetic pick up tool and my Gopher Grab It tool(I'm always dropping things). I also like my Eleanor Burns square up ruler as well as the other tools mentioned in prior messages

My time

It's usually purple in colour and it's like a stiletto. It's not very expensive somewhere between $5 to $8 and available at most QS. I use it to feed little pieces of fabric into your feed dogs, or holding onto little pieces. Works great.

Don't forget glue and painters tape!

Beeswax is used to strengthen thread so you can it through those needle eye holes that you can hardly see! It keeps it from flopping down just as you think it should be going straight through the hole. Just as you are starting to have your eye cross. LOL

Some of the above PLUS one of my very favorite things, Fork Pins by Clover. These are two-pronged pins (think bobby pin shape). Place your pieces together, butt the seams, and pin with one of these. I am picky about my piecing and using these have really helped with perfect joins and points.
