My big Fiskars cutting mat. Doesn't "heal" correctly. Next time I buy, it's back to the ugly Omni green LOL!

Amen! The old yellow ones were perfect; the new gray ones are worthless as the rotating mechanism is awful.

bearisgray, I don't care for the creative grid rulers either. I bought a 3"X7" one to try out and have giving it lots of use to be fair but my own verdict is in, I don't like it. Love the size though

so I won't pitch it out

I'm with everyone else on the blade sharpeners, total waste, I may have said this already in this thread

Omnigrid has a 4 x 8 ruler with a fine 1/8 inch grid. One of my favorites - and WONDERFUL for cutting small pieces from scraps.

clover mini-iron, took up more space than it was worth. Also, blade sharpener. Never could get it to work right

I totally agree with this! It's happened to me, I refuse to buy any pattern now that requires special tools.

Mine was that purple free motion thing. Comes in two pieces or sizes. I have it stash away taking up space.

Pounce Pad and Chalk. Why a person with asthma would think it is a good idea to buy something that puts puffs of powder in the air... Stupid me.

Supreme Slider. Thing wads up as soon as it can.

Trangle rulers and a ruler to cut off points. Really. Such a waste of money.

I used to hate my June Taylor Shape Cut but one of the members here showed me the error of my ways. I love the thing now and even bought the one that does a full width of fabric.
