I too like many of you used to be a impulse buyer, I have really been trying to get stern w/ myself and if I still feel I want it after walking away then I make sure it has a place in my sewing, not stuck in a drawer or closet never to be used again.
1] add a 1/4 thingy 2] pinking shears-I bought them yrs ago because my mom always had a pair-never use mine 3] pattern weights-might be a neat idea, never remember I have them...in a drawer-lol |

I used it for the very first piece of fabric and then decided that the 1/4" marking on my workhorse 5 x 24 inch ruler worked much better. Same class, same supplies list, I bought the "purple thang". If I'd known that my bamboo shishkabob skewers do exactly the same thing I would have saved that money too.

I have a stack of rulers I bought to go with my Sweet 16 which are useless. (I like the simple meandering pattern). I also have the chalk marker to mark patterns with and a stack of stencils. I guess I should ebay all that stuff.

If I can make do with something else until I find something not so pricey I will. Depending on what it is and if I still have the receipt so I can return or replace, it gets pitched in file 13.

I bought a Kaleidoscope Triangle Ruler a few months ago, But the directions for how to use it really don't help much. I need a pattern for a block to practice on.
|
I bought the Genie Bobbin Washers also and they work in my embroidery machine and my other machines with a drop in bobbin but not in my Expression 4.0 due to the fact that it has a low bobbin sensor that will not work if I have a bobbin washer in the bobbin case because it raises the bobbin just a very fraction of an inch and confuses the sensor.
|
I bought "label/signature writing pens" packaged/sealed. I had a feeling as I paid that I bet they wouldn't write. When I got ready to "use | write" with either pen, they wouldn't write. I had lost the receipt.

I'm glad I'm taking the class, otherwise I would never have know about the mistakes and probably never finished the project. Since she has worked out all the kinks, it should go together pretty well. I won't mention the pattern designer but she has been contacted (2 weeks ago) and never responded.
