    I would say my large cutting matt, 24 x 36 inch and my rotary cutters are my favorites...I also like my walking foot and by 1/4 inch guide foot.

    Wait for a 50% off coupon at Joann's as I did and it'll be very affordable.

    That Purple Thang has always made me wonder. How on earth can it do anything that the old-fashioned home made gadgets can't do? I'm really curious. :roll:

    I hear you Rita!!!! Love that thing too!
    I just recently got one, and I agree! It's terrific. Also there's a tute on line for those who want to see how it's done.
    This really interests me, but I have a question. How do you keep this from shifting? The larger ruler I use sometimes shifts, it seems as if your hand would not be able to control movement and how do you hold it down ?

    This one I have to try, I have artheritis in my back and it aches more this year

    Have one, mine didn't stay any sharper than the Olfa or Fiskars' and the blades are very expensive over 10$ each at JoAnns
    The harbor Frieght blades work great in the Ghinger's they do in mine

    What is a sewing machine lifter? How did your husband make one? Do you have a picture? Thanks. My back hurts.

    There are a few brands. Fons and Porter have them too! They are great for working in the thread ends for FMQ

    Maybe you could do a tutorial on the glue sticks for getting the seams to line up perfectly. :thumbup: :thumbup: Please, pretty Please :!:

    Ditto on the tutorial! For the life of me, I can't figure out where the glue is being put and how it comes into play when matching seams. HELP! Did I mention I'm blonde (ha!ha! - as a child; now I'm silver!)
