    Default Your Must Have Tools...

    Hi!

    What are your MUST HAVE tools for Quilting & Sewing? With me it's Acrylic Templates, Sharp Sciccors, and shelf liner to keep tmplates or rulers from slipping on the material as I cut. Oh yes, and sharp Omnigrid rotary cutter.

    I love my June Tailor slotted rulers. And also my 6-1/2 x 24 ruler. And my cordless iron. Olfa 60mm cutter is a must-have. Pointy bamboo stick, curvy little scissors, lots of little sharp seam rippers, pointy tweezers, Clover clips, Pinmoors, Elmer's glue, lint rollers, those clicky rolly chalk markers.....it just goes on!! I have a LOT of "must-have" tools!!

    They ought to make sewing chests that look like pirate chests, because all this stuff is like treasure to me! LOL

    Accuquilt Go! I would give up my sewing machine before that. I can always handsew the pieces together. A new sharp seam ripper. I get a new one when I have to tug on the thread to get it to cut the thread.
