what is it gadget style

The fabric holders in the top picture are not used together. You use whichever one fits the space you are quilting in. Just place it on your quilt sandwich and hold it with your hands (personally I found it just as easy to use my hands) but because there is sponge on those holders they are meant to help grip the fabric. I think it's Sharon Schamber's who has a similar item & has a video on it.
oops, someone types faster than me :lol:

The pink thing is for cleaning you cutting mat with after each use. I have a blue one just like it that I bought from the LQS. The two white things are for free motion quilting. Eleanor Burns calls those her steering wheel. I have a gray one, but don't use it much at all. The other little gidgit is a rotary cutter blade sharpener. You take apart the two pieces with the handles on them and then place the blade on then and screw it together and then you put it in the corcular thing and then you twist it back and forth and then turn it around that polish the blade on the other side of the round thingy. I've had mine for years, but don't like it. Have a great day, Huggies, Fay

Here is a link that shows the quilt free motion glide handles. They aren't the same ones, but the same concept. I, too had some and sold them...

The instructions for my sharpener are a little different than the dritz brand. Hold abrasive disk in one hand. Place handle and blade assembly onto abrasive disk. Apply force and twist handle in one direction 10-20 times,depending on condition of blade. Turn handle assembly over, and sharpen reverse side of blade. Sharpen both sides equally. During the sharpening process, keep the sharpening disk moderately wet. After sharpening clean sharpener with a damp cloth.
My sharpener works great, haven't bought a blade in at least a year.
