    Default Necessary Quilting/Sewing Tools in Multiples

    As I desperately search for my seam ripper, it occurs to me that I should have more than ONE seam ripper in my sewing space since mine always seems to be hiding.

    What other tools would you consider having multiples of in your sewing/quilting room?

    ROTARY CUTTERS1 I can't seem to keep up with mine. I have 6 or 7, but I still lose them.

    Seam rippers immediately came to mind when I read the thread title, but I'll add bobbins and pin cushions to the list!

    My little very sharp, pointy scissors. I have 3 or 4 pair. Only know where one pair is at the moment.
