    I second the June Taylor cutting mat. I will try to remember to bring it for the free table at our guild next year.

    I love my June Taylor mats, I have actually worn one out. I have some rulers that I bought that I never ever use, they were on sale at Joann's and I thought they would be great. Nope.

    I love my June Tailor cutting mat too. But the thing I don't use is the pounce pad with the white powder. messy, doesn't stay on, don't want to spray with hairspray.

    Love my little purple thang..actually have three..In case I misplace, have another........since I'm now thinking of doing a crazy quilt, I have been looking at videos, websites...and saw creative grids has an 8" crazy quilt set of templates....the light went on! I bought that over a year ago, hung on my pegboard along with a "few" others. Bottom line for me is - it was useless until now, so I look at it as an investment.....but I must admit, while looking thru some of those templates...I wonder why? But who knows, maybe next time I'll be looking for it!

    I do not use the bias tape makers for quilting but it is perfect for weaving with rags. I do not like fuzzy rugs and placemats so I use the bias tape maker to press the edges of the strips in before weaving with them. Amazing how we can adapt different tools to different art forms

    Several years ago, I bought a Magic Quilting Frame so I could hand quilt. That never happened and the box never got opened. It went to the thrift store this year. I hope somone was able to use it.

    The fabric calculator is collecting dust in my sewing room.
