My favorite tool is my Walking foot. I don't know how i used my machine without it! Ripped out a lot of stitches before getting the "foot". I love it....no more puckers

My new favorite tool is the clover chalk marker with the wheel, about $9.00. I now have several in different colors.
And my 5inch gingher scissors.

I agree with no1jan the June Taylor Shape Cut Plus(ruler) is the best thing since sliced bread....I have the 12x18 and its wonderful!!!.

I don't know that I have a favorite tool, but my 20-1/2" square ruler is certainly one of my favorites. It is incredibly useful when I have to lay out and cut large pieces of fabric; most of the fabric I buy is large pieces. At the same time, I use something I created: large-ish plastic buckets of smooth decorative rocks that I use as weights to keep the fabric secure when I line it up and smooth it out. I also love my homemade shelf units that are the "legs" for my large cutting table.

The most useless?? I have MANY things I've bought over the years that I have not yet used, but the thing that concerns me most is EQ5. I was reluctant to buy any quilt software, but decided if I had an opportunity to buy EQ5 at a reasonable price that I would buy it. I did buy it, but it holds no interest for me. I played with it for a few hours each night when I first got it, but it bored me to tears.

I love my OMNI travel folder which has an ironing surface on one side and a cutting mat on the other. I travel 2-3 days a week for work and this slips inside my briefcase or suitcase and allows me to work in my hotel room in the evenings!

Of course the rotary cutter and cutting mat. But I love my June Tailor Shape cut ruler.

My favorite quilting tool is without a doubt -- my quilt guild -- they are such a friendly, supportive, sharing, giving, funny, and industrious group of women. My second favorite quilting tool is my computer -- where I find this group, an abundance of free quilt patterns, quilting terms and techniques, and access to any other quilt tool I might think I cannot live without.

It wasn't that long ago when my grandmother created quilts to keep her family warm with a pair of scissors, newspaper (if she was lucky for patterns), and needle and thread.
