I did not use a stabilizer, nor a hoop. Just be cognizant of the tension of your stitches.

Maybe everyone knew about this but it was new to me. I love quilt pattern softcover books but they were such a pain to use when they wouldn't stay flat. Then I found out that Office Max will cut off the binding and spiral bind the books for $2.65. Almost as good as the 1/4 inch foot. Well maybe not that good but up there.

Two things --
1.) A peephole -- for looking at quilts on a design wall. It gives an interesting distance perspective. I would recommend a wide angle peephole. They run about $5 at a hardware store.
2.) Mary Ellen's Best Press Starch Alternative -- this stuff rocks! I love it on clothing and quilting fabric!

Judy, that's the tool! I wear it on the middle or ring finger of my right hand, so I still have use of my index finger for picking up piece, pins, etc.
Although actually this past week I tried to pay extra attention to which tools I used most, and I found myself more often grabbing an orangewood (manicure/cuticle) stick for a stilletto -- the flat side of the "pushing" end hlods the fabrics well and slides along the bed of the machine right up between the "toes" of my presser foot. It isn't as handy as the trolley needle, but it work a littl better for me.

I have a big board, and I decided that the space underneath it was wasted when it was on the ironing board (not to mention my cats kept knocking it over when they jumped on it). I found a storage bookcase from IKEA that was the perfect size, and the perfect height, and now I have more storage...something we all look for, right?!! I just keep it pulled out from the wall a couple of inches so that when I press long lengths of fabric or a quilt, it can go over the back side freely.

I love my June Tailor Shape cut with the 1/2" slots. I use it for virtually all my cutting. I am on my second one, as I wore the first one out.
I made myself one of those large ironing board surfaces to fit over the existing board. I just hate to iron on a regular ironing board now!

I have a bit of arthritis in my hands - it makes picking up regular scissors (the ones with the loops) to clip threads difficult. I can't imagine being without my "tweezer scissors" - those are the ones that you just squeeze to clip threads when I'm sewing. They're lightweight and so sharp. They're too small for cutting bigger things, but sitting next to all of my machines, they're fabulous for me. I even got a local store to start carrying them after I discussed them. They've sold a bunches of them. I've bought many of these and have them everywhere!

Sewbug.......regarding a previous comment you made. I thought my mother was the only one who put the laundry in the fridge and then used a "pop" bottle to sprinkle water while ironing!!! I had no idea that was a common practice "way back when"!!! :roll:
Some things I can't do without: my soft-touch Fiskars, my Olfa ergonomic cutter, my Koala sewing cabinet, my Clover needle threader, I have so many quilting gadgets I love I can't name them all.
I also cross stitch my labels. I really like the added artistry look.

I'm 44 y/o and I remember my mom's bag of clothes in the frig and the coke bottle w/ a special rubber stopper cap w/ holes for sprinkling them.
I always wished we had full coke bottles. :wink:
