Although I'm sure one could purchase something much more professional, this little piece of plastic is great. In fact I panic when I can't find it right away. It's the perfect size to measure and make quick little cuts.Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14752743911560745157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689109072986219461.post-44449827019568304742009-03-27T10:59:00.000-07:002009-03-27T10:59:00.000-07:00I have to say my PIN CUSHION- I could not live wi...I have to say my PIN CUSHION- I could not live without it!! :) I tried for a while, but pins in the feet just aren't a good option. So I made a darling pin cushion from some of your Mary Englebrite material- so precious and SO perfectly useful. I'd never make it through a project without it :)Candice, the "lovey" crafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18425685340333775047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689109072986219461.post-77055075449191993532009-03-27T10:51:00.000-07:002009-03-27T10:51:00.000-07:00I also can't live without my rotary cutter but I l...I also can't live without my rotary cutter but I love any new toy that comes into my house :)Robin (RsIslandCrafts)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06875986169322073281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689109072986219461.post-79009687008645582182009-03-27T07:49:00.000-07:002009-03-27T07:49:00.000-07:00My favorite is the blue ruler that you can draw a ...My favorite is the blue ruler that you can draw a line down the middle and sew 1/4 inch away from the seam.

When I was just a littlebitty girl, my sweet grandma would let me look inside her enormous sewing hassock and even take out her scissors..she knew I would be extremely careful and not ever ever cut anything I shouldn't! I smuggle scissors everywhere I go.

But I just found a similar shop yesterday. Now I can get super cute fabric to make all your fun stuff. Anyway, now on to my favorite tool. Since I am kind of an organization freak I would have to say my Blue Feather BobbinSaver. You can put tons of bobbins in there and they won't unravel or tangle. I love having all my bobbins full of thread so I don't have to rewind them everytime I sew. This tool helps keep them organized.
