No I don't do applique 
. Just can't wrap my head around it and not patient enough to try again. I can always use more rotary blades I have both a 45mm and a 6omm. I have a bunch of rulers that I have yet to use, so would say no. And also have no need for the cuttingmat combo.

Do you applique? Yes, machine applique using Steam a Seam lightweight to set the applique before machine stitching
Are you interested in patterns or books? Yes, love them, one can never have too many!
Do you own/use an applique pressing sheet? I have an applique pressing sheet, I guess I should try and use it, the iron would probably appreciate it!
What is your favorite applique thread? If I have to do blind stitching on an applique, I love the Aurifil threads in neutral colors. They work great on hexies!
Do you like specialty rulers? I love all rulers! I collect them, and have very little space to store them. I need a better ruler organizer!
Is there any specialty ruler you are looking for? Not at the moment. Although there are a few of the Phillips rulers I do not own yet!
Any specialty ruler you do not need? I would need to do inventory and that could be a whole other posting!
Do you have a specific rotary cutter you would like to have? My favorite is the Fiskars with the ergonomic handle, size 45mm.
Rotary cutter blades and size? I can use more blades for the 28mm Olfa that I own! Also a pinking blade for the 45mm. I just bought a package of 10 - 45mm blades (fits both my Fiskars and Olfa cutters). Amazon sells them for a VERY reasonable price instead of buying the brand name. And yes, they are very sharp!
Small cutting mat/ironing board combo? I have one - June Taylor brand, and a portable iron.
