On our resent trip to Sisters OR one of the stores gave us an item that looked like a pen..you take off the cap..and Oh the are scissors. Little scissors and they have come in very handy, I carry it in my purse and am not afraid to poke or cut myself. Very handy.

Gingher designer embroidery scissors..beautiful and great for hand quilting. I just recently read about a spray bottle in a quilt magazine that sprays a very fine and even mist made by “A quilter’s corner”. I bought one at a quilt show this weekend and I really love it. It works with water or best press. Awesome!

I do a lot of QAYG and was wondering how it would work as something like a "tacking" spot similar to a "tied quilt". I also thought about embelishments on clothing, or bags / purses for those that make them.
I have the flower stitch foot. I have used it a few times but that was to learn how to do it. I have never found a use to have any flowers on anything though. LOL It does work great. I may set up a machine and demo that at another meeting. Someone may have a great idea where to use the flower stitch.

Thanks everyone. Did you know the new air freshener spray bottles have the same fine mist as the ones being bought in the quilt shops? I have one of the new ones and one of the air freshener. Cant tell any difference in the spray but I think the air freshener one seems less sturdy made. I fill one with Magic Sizing and one with water.
I have the Block Loc and will show that and while looking through my stuff I found a small mat that has a magnetic layer. There is a metal ruler that goes with it. I remember using it to draw the lines when making hsts. The fabric doesn't slip or move. I don't draw the lines anymore but there are many who do.
