I have 3, seam rippers and pin coushions. I collect both when I can. I don't know why I love them so much.

To this I add all of the expertise here on "The Quilting Board"

My Go die cut machine is my favorite. It has changed my quilting life.

Would you go into more detail on this? As you can imagine, I'm still pondering this purchase.

My favorite tool is a seam ripper coupled with a good tweezer. I use tweezers that I bought from Walmart. It is made with a strip of soft plastic around the handle preventing it from rolling.

I'd say at any given time my favorite tool is whichever is the newest one I have. I LOVE getting new toys and learning new skills! :c)

I have lots of tools that I like but I guess the thing I really like is my 8 1/2" x 24 ruler. I love have all the 1/2 increments marked for me.. It just make cutting easier.

The Seam Fix Ripper is a seam ripper that has a cap on it that when it comes off it has a rubber end on it and when you rip our a seam if you use that rubber end and rub it across the little threads that are left it takes them out just pretty as you please. do a search on it and you will see what it is
