Same thing I learned when putting up crown molding and decorative trim around my house - measure, measure, and measure again before you cut.

One lesson I have learnt is be happy to be different and don't be afraid of doing your own thing and mix all the colours you love! Therese

My Viking is at the top of my list too, but just under the wonderful rotary cutter and cutting mat.

Got to agree with you there. I find this my most useful gadget

In addition to Rotary cutter - the Harbor Freight Blades....love...love...love them!

I agree 100% on the blades. Much sharper than others.

The best gadget ever..the computer. The computer allows me to create (EQ), to read about new gadgets, to communicate with other quilters...I just don't know what I'd do without it.
