    A Long arm machine and frame that moves the fabric forward. Then I would have to tear down some walls in my basement.

    What I couldn't do with out would be a good seam ripper. I am always tearing things apart. Next would be the rotary cutter.

    I'd have to say needle, thread, and scissors. We could all still create with those basic supplies. It's like the old granny said when asked which was most important to her in keeping house: running water. That reduces us to the basics doesn't it? We COULD do without anything else and still create, but isn't it fun with all our modern gadgets.

    Ditto! And...my corner must be unpacked and repacked each time I use it for the safety of my little ones.

    With my unlimited budget I would build a 1b/1ba studio in the backyard. I am ready to build if anyone out there wants to donate to this good cause.

    I can't live without my Viking Designer I - auto presser foot lift and lower. It is in the shop for maintenance and I feel like I am in the dark ages by manually lifting and lowering the presser foot! I know...spoiled.

    Good Answer! Good Answer! I totally agree.

    I think I already have it ALL... If money were no object I would hire a couple nice non judgmental people to come over and organize it so I could find all the goodies I already have.

    What can't I live without? my stitch ripper... and I can't find that either not doubt.
