    What notions and tools do you have and can't live without?

    What notions & tools are on your wish list?

    What notions & tools are hard to find at LQS's?

    Inquiring minds want to know!

    Is a rotary cutter a notion... can't live without that :wink:

    On my wish list... none really at the moment

    Nothing really hard to find, but I have a Joanns, Hancocks, Ericas and another LQS , so I can shop around

    my favorite is a round rotating cutting board from Come Quilt with Me

    the obvious: rotary cutters in 3 different sizes, small cutting board, large cutting board 36" wide, dillybob, seam ripper etc

    I don't make templates, have them made by a local glass company, about a buck each - have 50+ that I've acquired over time, use and love.

    many clear plastic scrapbooking square boxes in which I keep the 12-15 projects in the works

    Nancy Crow's 3 1/2" x 12" ruler
    a 2 1/2" X 6 1/2" ruler

    paper towel and toilet paper cardboard cores on which I roll cut strips

    there's npthing I can think of for a wishlist
    I usually buy notions at large quilt shows because the vendors have the latest items from recent market shows

    Seam ripper and rotary cutter for me too, and now that I'm getting old a needle threader is coming in handy.

    An abundance of thread. I hate when there are gaps in the thread display. Orvis for quilt cleaning, basting spray, a variety of rulers and mats. Tools and supplies that would be useful for classes being taught there. Gift items for other quilters.
