    Sizzix dresden petal die. It's for rounded dresden petals, so I thought that would be a real time saver... Turns out I'm not that interested in Dresden quilts...

    A prairie points maker tool. I've had it for at least 10 years. I still want to try making prairie points, just haven't yet.

    EQ7 for me too. I've tried to use it, but the learning curve is longer than my attention span, so it sits and waits for me to want to try again.

    Mine too. Along with several other things I've bought over the years.

    LOL you only have to do slam it that much when you fill it the first time. After that it works from then on.

    I bought one of those magnetic seam guides.
    My machine plate is PLASTIC. [ATTACH=CONFIG]584899[/ATTACH]
    So the stupid magnetic seam guide is useless to me.

    a little ruler to help join ends of binding. I use a different, and maybe easier, way!

    The Quilter's Boot is a binding tool. Search You Tube and you'll find some how-to videos for the Boot. I do own this tool but have never used it. :-)
