Pretty much there are only two items I bought and feel was a total rip off . The first was the "glider" sheet for free motion quilting. What a waste. I didn't stick to my machine bed and more times than not, it got stitched to the back of my quilt! It was very expensive. I gave it to a friend who is just now learning free motion quilting but I warned her about its short comings. The second are those useless gloves that are supposed to help you move your quilt when free motion quilting. The minute you need to do anything beside quilt - the gloves are in the way. Not to mention they make my hands very hot. Martelli sells both "rings" and "paddles". Both of those produces are amazing and so glad I made those purchases!

Which one? I have the Missouri Star binding tool and absolutely love it. The first couple of times I had to watch the video ... I made 9 mug rugs at one time and after binding those I have it down. It works perfect every time. Love it!

If you have a medical supply store nearby, they have lots of different types of cushions

I also found the binder tool unnecessary. I watched a youtube video on how to do it w/o any special tool and it's easy.
But you can also use it for a template. I can't think of the pattern right now though lol
