My DH never ceases to amaze me with his creativity. I haven't bought a ruler in a few years. All I have to do is say,
"Honey, can you make this for me"? That is all it takes and just a little time. Wish I had started this quilting business when I was younger. Then I might be almost as good as many of you members on the board.

What a wonderful hubby! Mine says he wants to help me but never gets to it. Maybe I can shame him into it by showing him this!

As my name implies, lol, I'm experienced with rippin' seams... And my "third hand" to rip seams more quickly is the presser foot on my machine. It holds one end very well so I can use both my hands to Rrrrrip.

Cute helping hand. The clips are too big for me to use on binding but I use them for chip bags, holding strips, anywhere I need a big clip and since they are throw a ways, no guilt at all in not having to take care of them.

I've been doing this for a while too. After I break them off the hanger, I put them in the dishwasher so it will be "my dirt", And I put them in my kitchen drawers, for baggies and etc. They work perfectly.
