    Ditto on the quilting gun. Totally worthless. I'd have to say my favorite tool is the walking foot. Many others too, but I don't know what I did before my walking foot. NEVER had backings without puckers.

    And in response to poultney. I'm so jealous of you having the Bernina 830. I can't imagine ANYTHING more favorite than that.

    It goes without saying that without my rotary cutters and mats I would probably not be doing a whole lot of quilt making. But my very favorite tool is my quarter inch foot that I bought when I got my latest Janome. As a lady who couldn't sew a quarter inch if her very life depended on it, this is an amazing and life saving tool for me.

    You got that right. I couldn't sew 1/4" if my life depended on it.

    I think I agree. I haven't really ever used it. Now I don't think I remember how. Maybe someday, but now they are up to EQ7.

    I'm too new to have a favorite tool yet; I just barely know what quilting is. But I love no1jan's sense of humor!

    It did take a bit of practice but quickly became one of my favourite tools especially when cutting for strip-piecing, borders or binding. You can fold your fabric and cut through multiple layers which makes the cutting faster. Tip - make sure you have a new blade in if you are cutting multiples.

    Worst gadget - like many others - basting gun. I can be thankful I didn't buy it - it was a gift. Reading this thread I doubt if I'll ever get to sell it!!

    My favorite tool is my Westcott Titanium scissor. It has a 10 year guarantee to stay sharp. Hmmmmmm....will see how long it stays sharp!
