Survey time.... please add yours to the list...

What 3 quilting tools can you NOT live without (excluding your machine):

Be specific (not needles / pins unless they are SPECIFIC needles/pins -- you
get the idea)

for me, it is:

1) a 45mm rotary cutter
2) my 4" x 14" ruler
3) my 8 1/2" x 24" ruler


Okay -- your turn!

OK, I'll play! But this is sewing only right, because my appliqué tools list
would be quite different!

1) Silk pins (yellow & green transparent heads - SUPER thin!!)
2) Porcupine Quill stiletto
3) Clover Brand Seam Ripper (absolutely the best!)

My favorite is my 4' X 8' work table with a cutting mat on it, then my
rotary cutter, and then my chalk marker.

My large board that sits on the ironing board, it's a dream for ironing
border seams and the like.

The same pins as Lorraine (TwinMom) likes and the magnetic pin holder I
have for them!

I'd have to say, rotary cutter, mat, and ruler. Probably 45mm cutter, 24"
mat, and 6" x 24" ruler would be the basic tools.

Betty in WI

mat, 6x24" ruler, and rotary cutter.

I'll follow you Lorraine, as I love my Clover seam ripper and superfine
pins too.

2 Drafting 'stuff'
3 Plus the above

Paper- freezer, tracing and graph papers (templates, appliqué, drawing
blocks and quilt lay-outs, etc.); my 'homemade' sewing desk with my machine
lowered into it for a level sewing surface; and my stash(es)... fabrics of
all colors and prints and textures (heavy on batiks and hand-dyed!) and
threads- every type and size and color I can find!

Fabric -- that's where it starts and ends for me
Scissors -- specifically the Kaicut 200 mm offset handle sheers and
the Fiskar soft handle microblade
Pencils -- any kind and all kinds

It took me a while to pare down all the stuff I use and realize that
if everything else went I would/could still carry on, but without
those above I would just be stymied to a stop.
