good thread.....at joanns with a coupon purchased a thread holder for cones (serger) ...... would be fine if it stayed on a shelf forever but when you lift it it off balances and opens and everything is all over the floor...have to tape it with painters tape or feel like i am on a gag show......quess it could be repurposed as a planter

ARRRGHHH - marking pens!!! I must have a dozen - disappearing ink ones (great except that you can't mark ahead of time - the ink disappears!!!), soapstone (doesn't work), soap slivers (are you KIDDING????), pouncing (forget THAT - BIG mess), pencil style - they work for a little while, then you sharpen them and the points keep breaking off..
My mom gave me one of those chalk marker sets with the different colored chalk sticks that you slide into a holder. Those are pretty good but they do tend to break easily as well.

Pounce because it is messy to use and marks rub off before I am finished quilting the section, and the little pink iron because it doesn't get hot enough and the cord is in an awkward place. Don't like the tiny clover iron because it seems awkward for me to use. I probably have some rulers that I don't use, but, they made me happy for a while when I got them, always on sale or with a coupon.

Needle Threader, never got it to work. Thank goodness I bought it with a coupon. Same goes for the Gingher Seam Ripper, an again bought with a coupon. I just have bad luck using coupon's on worthless items. Oh well!!!!!

I have a cheapy hand held sharpener that you turn by hand. It works once you figure it out. Twist it back and forth with pressure then turn the blade over and do it again. It does work but be careful you could cut yourself handling the blade.

I would have to say that the worst purchase I've made towards sewing/quilting would be the brother cs6000i sewing machine. Had I known that it would only last a couple years, it would never have made it into my cart at WalMart (not that Walmart had anything to do with the machine's cheap construction). I've been educated and since purchased a Janome 6600 and am more than happy with her.
