I have a Clover brand desk top needle threader and I love it, even though I do not do much hand sewing. My instructions specified a particular eyed needle. Don't remember if it is the round eye or otherwise and I lost the instruction sheet. Most of the time, if it doesn't work the first time, I just try another needle with a different eye .. no problem!

was a waste of money
Me too have never used it.

Just HAD to buy a Fiskars 24" rotary cutter and ruler in one a few years back-tried it once, put it back in the box and haven't had it out since. Maybe I should give it another chance. I also bought several sizes of Clover bias tape makers, and can't get the hang of them!! I went back to making them by hand. I bought bicycle clips to hold the borders/raw edges of my quilts while quilting, kept falling off-maybe for machine quilting they are better, but I hand-quilt-so they are somewhere in the abyss at the bottom by my Stanley tool chest. Various stableizers (tearaway and water soluble) I THOUGHT SOMEDAY I might need, are still un-opened. What I can't live without is my OTT light, my 102" tape measure, my Brother sewing machine (love it) and my 25 yard roll of Steam a Seam Lite fusible.

What brand of Double Wedding Ring templates do you have and like?? I saw some at a quilt show, didn't buy them, and misplaced my note on the brand, or designer. I LOVE DWR quilts!!!

Whoops - try again! I probably have too many items purchased that aren't used but one that comes to mind is an item - like a half embroidery hoop that you use when FMQ - it has little raised edges to hold onto. Well, I have never used it and figure I never will when the gloves work so well!
Can't live without my seam ripper or my magnetic pin holder.

Mine is not a quilting notion but the sturdy plastic 81/2 by 121/2 sectioned off pencil or artist carrying case that I carry all my notions in.

My husband bought the AccuGo. Still not sure it's worth the price since all dies are extra and run $75+. I wouldn't
have spent the money but HE insisted it was worth the money. I now let him cut all my 2 1/2" strips. If you have money to spare and feel that money isn't an issue, you MIGHT consider it.

I bought a lot of stuff at an auction. Have no clue what most of it is for or how to use it. I am glad to read all the other post to learn what not to buy and what I should consider. Its a jungle out there and a beginner can get lost in all the notions suplies and such.
