    Default Gadgets you feel are worth the money.

    So many gadgets out there that we use once or twice and throw them in the closet never to be used again. I tried a seam ripper today that will be glued to my hip...love it...I made a sewing mistake (surprise)..time to try out the new seam ripper from Mighty Bright. This seam ripper is AWESOME. It is totally worth it. I love the magnifier. what a huge difference. and love how the seam ripper can rotate. It really does make ripping out seams a breeze and I can see what I am doing. Having a light on it is a nice bonus!

    What are some gadets that you have that are keepers?...ones you would highly recommend? I have plently I would not recommend, but thought this would be a good place for items you really truely feel are worth the money.

    I wouldn't be without the Kwik Klip that helps close pins when you are pin basting.....it really saves the fingers!

    Did you order it on line, or is this seam ripper carried at your LQS?

    A pair of spring clamps from Home Depot. Clamp my ruler in place and no more slipping - even with the gripper dots!
