What quilting item do you consider the worst that you've purchased and why?

DOTTYMO

Some of my rulers. They were designed for one quilt pattern only and cost a fortune.

Things I have bought on sale and still haven't used. Like Dottymo I have rulers that I bought just because they were on sale and I may use them some day. Same with templates, I have quite a few because "some day" I intend to make the quilt.

Gay

A 2 piece gadget [forget it's name] for sharpening rotary blades. Cost $40 and totally useless.

I bought the electric blade sharpener for way more than that. And it doesn't work very well either. Nothing beats a new blade.
And it's sooo loud. You need earplugs to run it.

I agree. Not all specialty rulers (like the Twister) but most can ONLY be used once.

...a ton of books I thought I really was going to use the patterns from, like others' specialty rulers/templates( some of which still have their original wrap in) that I thought would make whatever so much easier to do...have I learned to say NO!......sometimes...

I'm not a gadget person. I don't buy any use once items. I still have a lot of templates that I inherited from my sister and have never used.

Books and patterns that I look at now and know that I'm never going to use to make anything. Really should do a "clean out, organize, and get rid of".

Same here!
