I have about a 1/2 pack of Moda's Hello Betty charm squares. I'm in
the middle of organizing the various stages of disarray that I call a sewing room and they are in the pile of "things I will never use." I'd love for someone else to be able to use them. It's really bad in here. I haven't felt well all winter and just haven't been much for organizing, or even putting things back where they belong. My new rule is to throw away/rehome 27 things every day that I never have used, and never will use. I'm the world's worst to buy every new geegaw that comes down the pike. Just email me if you're interested. sriddles at aol dot com. Sherry |

The package says Schmetz Steppnadel Quilting Needle 103/703 H-Q, then a number 90/14. Plus one of those little six-inch dressmaker's rules with a slide arrow. Sherry |

So does that mean that you never use six inch dressmakers ruler ?
That is something that I havethought about getting but don't know if I would use it. Haveing said that I do have 2 six inch rulers that I do use reasonably often ( one next to 'my' chair and one next to the sewing machine).

Dee's right, Sherry. Hang on to that little metal/slider ruler. Mine is an
important tool and I would never part with it. Just sooner or later you'll need to measure for a quilt piece, pants,sleeve tablecloth or skirt hem. You may even decide to make a book cover or tote bag. Sounds as if you're throwing out the baby with the bath water - and many of us have been tempted to do that.

My dressmaker's rule is ancient, goes back to grade school. I use it
regularly for hemming, because you can just set the slide at the depth you want regardless of measurements. I use it for semi-quilty projects too, such as folding lengths of fabric for bag handles.

I've done *that* before! But in this case, I've got several identical ones. I used to like a particular cheapo thread snipper. The only way to buy them, was in a package with that metal ruler. I kept losing thread snippers, and kept buying more. And the rulers just kept multiplying. I bet if I turned the couch upside down there's a whole new stash of thread clippers and Lord knows what else under there. I have been a decluttering maniac for two days. I better take advantage of it before it passes. The good thing is that I've found things I not only lost, things I forgot I bought. Isn't that pitiful? Sherry |
