I was looking for a 60degree ruler. LQS didn't have one- look online- $16 and up. Went to staples- $6.49. So I bought some other rulers and a compass. Eyed up the french curves set but it was pricey and I don't know if I would use it in quilting.
I bought my vellum paper there for pp too.
I love Staples almost as much as Home Depot.

Someone here did a tutorial on paper piecing borders on cash register tape. I got a couple of rolls at Staples and started sewing my from my scrap basket. I have some colorful borders now for an upcoming quilt. They also have some nice pencil boxes that are the right size for a rotary cutter.

I found a neat tool caddy in Staples awhile back. You know, the kind that spins around, like a lazy susan, with all kinds of slots & openings in the top. Works great for holding my scissors, rotary cutters & all kinds of small stuff. Got a kid's one, so it's colorful, in primary colors, love it!

I use a pocket wall file ( http://www.google.com/products/catal...d=0CEUQ8wIwAw# )
next to my sewing machine to hold the manual for quick reference, together with other items that I reference regularly (how to finish the binding, etc.).
I also stuck a few pieces of cork board on the wall by my machine to pin patterns and/or notes to.

I use the binder clips to hang my patterns as I'm working on them. Easier to see and don't get lost on my table. I also have binder clips holding those squares I just HAD to try --- have a LOT of them. AND I use the binder clips to hold my patterns for things I'm GOING to do SOME DAY!
