Congratulations, Pam!
For those who are just joining us, each week we will post a quilting related question and ask you to post your answer as a comment to be entered in our random drawing on Monday’s for a $25 Stitchin’ Heaven Gift Card! So, you have from Monday to Sunday each week to post your answer.
Quilty Question for the week of Monday Nov. 2 -11th is : What sewing/quilting notion can you NOT live without?
It’s been busy around here with all the new stuff coming in from Market. Be sure that you are signed up for Hotflashes! Trish has a bunch to feature this week including Girl Scouts fabric! The Holiday season is official, the stores are all ready with Christmas trees and decorations and “To Do” lists are growing by the minute. At least for me they are! We have a ton of great gift ideas and will be featuring them until Christmas. So, be sure to check in with us first (wink)!
Thanks, again for always making my job fun! I love you guys/gals! 
Definitely seam ripper #1…..but I really love my perfect binding miter tool.

Woohoo! Anxious to see the goodies arrive in the mail. I finished my quilt top except the borders. I need to go shopping for the inner border fabric.
I love my F&P seam ripper holder. I don’t know its real name! It holds a seam ripper upright and I use to to quickly cut apart chain piecing. Lickety-split.

I could not live without my rotary cutter. I could never cut on the line, even in grade school.:smile:

I love my strip cutting board. You can strips and then squares and rectangles in no time. No more moving the ruler every cut. YEAH!

The rotary cutter is the best thing since sliced bread! I can’t imagine cutting out a quilt without it. The best, newest thing is the Bendable Light. And the lord said LET THERE BE LIGHT!!! LOL I wish I had a commission for all the lights I’ve sold just by others seeing mine at workshops etc. I never realized how dull my machine light was, I can actually see the eye of the needle. And I can move it to my other machines. On the frame it really is a godsend.

Since I’m relatively new to quilting (2 years), I can’t be without Better Homes and Gardens Complete Guide to Quilting. Whenever I have a question, the answer is usually there.

I really like my AccuQuilt Go! I would not like to be without it.

My rotary cutter, rulers and mat! Do you remember what we went through BEFORE we had them?? Would NOT go back to tracing and cutting!!

My seam ripper comes in a close second to my little 6″ measure with the sliding marker. I often use it to be sure seams are tucked in the proper direction as well as confirming my 1/4″ is really 1/4″.

Of course none of us could get along now without our rotary cutters and acrylic rulers. That said, my latest favorite thing is my brass stiletto.

I use 2 magnetic pin cushions. One on my left for pinning pieces together. The other one is on my right to place those pins as I take them out of fabric as it goes under the presser foot. When one is empty or full – I just switch.

I love my Rulers,saw one I’m looking for almost looks like a sq say 12″ but has part of one corner cut off looks perfect for sew many things.

definately my Brother NS 400 sewing machine
it’s dependable, reliable and always ready to go when I get a few minutes

My cutting MAT..I often turn it over to the blank (without grid) side to use as a quick design wall.. or to carry patches to the sewing machine table. I prefer Fiskars rotary cutter; I like its’ handle.

My little gold thread scissors – they cut so close without damaging the fabric.
