My favorite sewing thingoo is my fishing tackle box that holds a lot of my other sewing tools and notions!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win! :)
i couldn't live without my Olfa rotary cutter!
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of favorites, but the one that I have been enjoying that I recently added is a wooden seam roller to help with finger pressing open seams. It is a tool used for h working with wallpaper if I remember correctly. Christa Quilts has it, it has helped with pressing seams open easily.
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of tools I really like but the rotary cutter is my favorite
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway! I love my rotary cutter - I have the same one as you!
ReplyDeleteI love my Hera marker. I only discovered it a few weeks ago and I love using it to make fabrics and quilts for sewing!
ReplyDeleteI currently love my round, rotary cutting mat. I trimmed several hundred half square triangles and it's made that chore sooo much easier.
ReplyDeleteAbbe
I really love using my hera marker as it is so quick and easy to use it to mark out quilting lines. Thanks for the chance to win !
ReplyDeletewhat an amazing giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI do like my marking roller/tool, the new one in purple without "teeth"! Much better than the old ones with teeth!
my favorite tool, that i only recently acquired, and absolutely HATE to have to use, is my seam ripper. it's a havel's ultra-pro seam ripper. it's kind of like a scalpel. and it makes short work of my unfortunate mistakes.
ReplyDeletethanks so much for the giveaway chance!!!
Hmmm...I love love love my clover wonder clips, but I think the tool I use the most is my orange peeler! Yup, that blue one that comes free in oPackages of sun kist oranges! It's great for poking corners and turning tight lines, creases like a Hera marker, finger presses seams...it doesn't peel an orange very well though (I use a Tupperware orange peeler for that!)
ReplyDeleteThank you to the chance to win!
My favorite is an add a quarter ruler for paper piecing.
ReplyDeleteI would probably say my Olfa light-it has a little supply caddy in the base. It helps so much when sewing at nighr.
ReplyDeleteHi Kati, I've really enjoyed reading about your quilting adventurs. You are amazing at quilting! I've also really enjoyed your favorite tools posts this week. I even have one or two of these tools already. I don't quilt as well or as much as you do, but I sure do love to choose a pattern and fabric. My favorite tool is my rotary cutter.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite quilting tool would have to be my 1/4" foot, for now. A close second is definitely my rotary cutter!
ReplyDeleteI am drooling over your last quilt post of the large star quilt! Simply stunning.
My favorite for cutting strips is the June Taylor Shape Cut Plus. I use it all the time. I am wearing it out. All the prizes look great. Thanks for a great giveaway. Mary
ReplyDeleteMany favorites also but what I can't sew without are my clip on magnifying glasses! Age, wonderful age.
ReplyDeleteI have so come to depend on my rotary cutter to save time in quilting but never could I have imagined the beauty and variety of beautiful fabrics available today when I very first became interested in sewing fifty years ago.
ReplyDeleteDef couldn't live without my Olfa rotary cutter! What a great giveaway.
ReplyDeletemy favorite tool is the mat and rotary cutter. one can't live without the other ! I just hate cutting with scissors !
ReplyDeletedelwak@gmail.com
I love my Prym ergonomic seam ripper as I need a seam ripper way too often... Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite sewing tool is my computer - so I can access amazing blogs and get new ideas! My favourite fabric is Echino - always such nice bright colours and interesting designs.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to say I have a favorite but I do love my magnetic pin bowls. I used to have a fear of dropping a pin and I do pin a lot. Now I always have two going .... one at my pinning station (aka dining room table)and one at the sewing machine to collect them as they come out.
ReplyDeleteI think my most-used tool lately has been the Internet, it's so easy to look up anything you need to know, find patterns, get inspiration, discover new blogs and shops and groups, so many resources! and of course, I get to enter cool contests! ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove my Hera marker but my favorite is my homemade ironing board. I used Sharon Schamber's instructions. I keep it on top of my regular ironing board and it sits at right angle to my sewing machine at "sit down" level so all I have to do is swivel to the left to press as I'm sewing. It's much harder than a regular ironing board and I can really press things flat - really great for when piecing or paper piecing. Thanks for the chance to win such a great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteBesides my cutter and ruler, the thing I couldn't sew without are pins. I have a lot of small containers hidden away in my room because you never know when you need one :)
ReplyDeleteI can't sew without my thread snips. I hate using anything else to ship apart chain pieced blocks. Thank you for the chance to win these great new tools! blue.crab.quilting(at)gmail.com
ReplyDeleteMy favourite fabric at the moment has to be that Essex Yarn-dyed, I used it to make a paper pieced pillow for my mum recently and I love it! My favourite tool would be the stork embroidery scissors my mum gave me when Istarted sewing.
ReplyDeleteI think for me, like others, it is the Olfa Rotary cutter. I recently got a more ergonomic one and though it took a bit to get used to, now I love it and could not go back to the old one.
ReplyDeleteThank you for a great giveaway, and it was very useful to find out about new tools.
Oy! Tough choice... Tie between my olfa 60mm cutter, oversized cutting table, gingher scissors and homemade 24x48" ironing board ;) not sure which I could live without!
ReplyDeleteWow what a great giveaway, thanks for the chance! My favorite sewing tool is painters tape - I use it to mark sewing lines on my machine and for quilting lines for straight line quilting!
ReplyDeleteheather (dot) nevits (at) gmail (dot) com
A fave for me is my iTouch. It keeps me company as I sew and improves my singing tremendously if I turn the volume up. I can sew for hours , murder the lyrics , drown out my swearing when I unsew and best of all no comes down to pester me. ....I get more done.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tool is my sticky clothes roller for removing lint. I use it to clean up my cutting board and blocks and ironing board and tops and everywhere that gets stray threads.
ReplyDeleteFor now my favorite tool is my rotary cutter, but I'd like to try some of these others out as well!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun giveaway-thanks for the opportunity! I think my favorite sewing tool is my old school Kenmore avocado green workhorse sewing machine :)
ReplyDeletemy rotary cutter not that i am brilliant with it but i love it !!thanks for the great giveaway :))
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tool is my ergonomic rotary cutter.
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway. My favorite sewing tool is, unfortunately, the seam ripper. Can't live without it. And as for fabrics, I really don't have a favorite one because it depends on what I sew. Love and kisses, Aida
ReplyDeletedragomirescuaida(at)yahoo(dot)com
I simply couldn't do without my curved tip sewing scissors. I love them for snipping threads. It prevents me from inadvertently clipping the fabric. Just asked me how I know that!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite things are my ultra-thin glass head pins...don't know how I'd get those seams to line up without them! Thanks for your generous giveaway!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a rotary cutter-couldn't think of quilting without one!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tool is the clover forked pins, I love how well they hold seams together, especially if there extra bulk from lots of points meeting.
ReplyDeletesoozemoroney(at)gmail(dot)com
I loooove my teeny tiny embroidery scissors that live right next to my machine! I also keep a pair of tweezers right there too!
ReplyDeleteAs a quilter who started quilting using templates and scissors to cut all my pieces, I must say my favorite tools are a rotary cutter and a quilting ruler - wow, what a difference. Ny newest favorite tool is Clover Wonder Clips.
ReplyDeleteI have only the very basic stuff ( like garden gloves I bought for 2 bucks for quilting) but one tool I always keep handy is a small, stiff bristle artist's paintbrush. Whenever I'm winding bobbins, I grab that brush to sweep up all the lint in my bobbin case :)
ReplyDeleteI'm loving wonder clips right now - they're really saving my poor little fingers while attaching binding!
ReplyDeleteI have recently discovered the Hera Marker & it is amazinG!
ReplyDeleteI can't live without my rotary cutter and cutting mat. Both are so time saving. eliz.i@sympatico.ca
ReplyDeleteYour posts this week have been sooo informative. Thanks for putting this together. I'm a big fan of Creative Grids rulers. Have 8.5" x 24.5", 15.5" square, 9.5" square, and a 2.5" square. That seems to meet most of my needs. Debora(dot)Exum(at)gmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteMy favorite sewing notion is my rotary cutter. I can't even cut a straight line with a scissors!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tool is my 24 x 36" cutting mat. Makes cutting so much easier.
ReplyDeleteI am new to quilting so I have not used any of the tools that you have listed in your giveaway. But I would love the chance to try them!!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite things - I use blue painters tape to mark my machine. It really helps to keep me in line.
I guess I've started to really take my sewing tools for granted, as I had to think hard here! I have a small rotary mat that swivels, and I really like it for trimming HSTs. No need to reposition the fabric - you just turn the mat. I find they are easier to trim accurately th.at way.
ReplyDeleteWowyzowy what a giveaway!!! I would say my favourite fabric is Joel Dewberry lime green herringbone from the Modern Meadow line. I'm hoarding a tiny piece and will use it on a rainy day soon I'm sure!!
ReplyDeleteI think I have to go with my clover magnetic pincushion. it makes piecing go so much faster since i don't have to constantly start and stop. i can just chuck the pins toward the cushion and not have to worry about them falling on the ground to be eaten/trampled by the cats and dog.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tool... either my 4"x4" squaring up ruler, my floor lamp aimed right at my machine (I HATE shadows).... or Pinterest!
ReplyDeleteGreat series ending with a great giveaway, you rock! :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tool, other than my sewing machine of course, is my rotary cutter. I can't cut straight with scissors to save my life! Rotary cutter and cutting mat = happy happy me.
What a lovely giveaway! I would have to say that one of my favorite tools is my rotary cutter...I couldn't imagine having to cut things out with scissors! Soooo nice to have that.
ReplyDeleteI also love my #57 presser foot for perfect 1/4" quilting seams.
Thank you for a lovely giveaway....so many nice prizes!!!
My favorite tool is the Fiskars Razor point scissors. It is about the size of your old kindergarten scissors, but they are SOOOO sharp, and with the razor point, you can really get into the finest places. The other day I had a thread hook on my presser foot and I couldn't get it with my seam ripper, but my Fiskars got it no problem.
ReplyDeleteI love my sewing weights so I don't have to pin everything when cutting out a pattern.
ReplyDeleteI love my add a quarter inch ruler for paper piecing - thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteRight now I am in love with Essex Linen. I use it for everything!!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite sewing notion would be Clover Wonder Clips....so many uses instead of pinning!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tool is my sewing machine! And my rotary cutter. Nothing special about it, I just love the part of the process it means I'm at when I get to use either of those tools! Thanks for the incredible giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite sewing notion is my little magnetical sheep wich holds my needle in place on my project when I have to leave my stitchery and do other work.Lol!
ReplyDeleteI hate loving an unpicker/ seam ripper, but I love the Clover one of these. Thanks for the cahcne to win!
ReplyDeleteI love my True-Cut Rotary Blade Sharpener. I use it every day and have razor sharp blades every time I cut. Saves me a fortune in new blades.
ReplyDeleteI love my True-Cut Rotary Blade Sharpener. I use it every day and have razor sharp blades every time I cut. Saves me a fortune in new blades.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful give away!
ReplyDeleteI know this sounds silly, but I can't live without a seamripper. There are times when things are good and there are times where they are not. I like when my stitches are nice.
I love polka dot fabrics and rotary cutters. Where would we be without rotary cutters?
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tool truly is my "awl" or as some would call it the "stilleto" . I use it help guide my fabric, I use it to help "hold" fabrics and even find times to use it during my ironing/pressing.
ReplyDeleteI "heart" working with linens, both in garments and in quilting. Such a beautiful, timeless material that just "words"
My favorite tools happen to be my gingher 8-Inch Knife Edge Shears...they have made my life so much easier...
ReplyDeletenydia(@)add-crafter (.) com
It has to be a rotary cutter or a seam ripper!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite took would be the rotary cutter. I mean, come on, imagine cutting all your fabric with scissors. It would take forever and there would be a lot of frustrated quilters out there ;)
ReplyDeleteJust love your Giveaway!!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite tool..... well, I almost can't choose between my Olfa Rotary Cutter or my Clover little sciccors.... so beautifully sharp points...
Have a nice Easter Holiday!
Greetz from the Netherlands.

ria.vogelzang@gmail.com
Wow - what a wonderful bunch of favorites! I don't know that I can choose just one, but my current favorite might be my rotary cutter becuase I've been doing a lot of squaring up lately!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tool at the moment is my Clover bias tape maker but the one thing I couldn't live without is my rotary cutter!
ReplyDeleteMy rotary cutter, definitely. :)
ReplyDeletemoyler316[at]yahoo[dot]com
My favorite thing is my pincushion/ort bag/scissor-tool holder just to the right of my machine. POckets on the front flap hold seam ripper, the purple thing, tweesers, scissors and a pencil with eraser. It's very handy and makes me smile seeing and using it. Jane
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tool has got to be my rotary cutter, with a fresh blade! My new favorite fabric is Moda Bella Solids -so many colors, I love Coral. But I'd like to try the ones in your giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tool has to be my rotary cutter and mats. My biggest personal struggle with quilting is accuracy and I probably get a little too caught up on it, but i feel that my rotary cutter and mats (and rulers) give me a great head start on keeping my project on track and size.
ReplyDeleteThis was such a great series of posts and I learned about a lot of thing I didn't know existed. Can't wait to try them out!!!
My favorite tool is the rotary cutter, what a time-saver. And the beautiful straight cut lines. I would hate to have to get along without it. Thanks for the opportunity to win your giveaway.
ReplyDeleteHumm Favorite tool! That is a hard choice, so I am left thinking what do I use the most. That would have to be my 6x24 ruler and rotary cutter. And I recently started sewing with Linen and LOVE it! It is just a joy to work with, except the price of course.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tool is my Creative Grids ruler. It's hard to choose just one thing, though.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite sewing tool is my trusty seam ripper! Actually, I call it my "unsewing" tool.
ReplyDeleteFun week and fun giveaway! Thanks!
My favorite tool (of the moment) is the Sewline glue pen. So awesome!
ReplyDeletei recently discovered Thimble-It product...they are tough little stickers to put on your finger when hand sewing (i use them mostly when im sewing my binding down on the back)they are my *new* all time fav. sewing tool. what great prizes, thanks for a chance.
ReplyDeleteI love my rotating cutting mat. It makes trimming a breeze. I bought my mom one for xmas cause I like mine so much!

My favorite fabric is still Ruby by Bonnie and Camille. I love keeping up with what you are making, I get so many inspirational ideas from what you show us, and LOVE your tutorials! Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteFavorite tool? Probably my little 12" ruler... Growing up, my mom only used the big, wide ruler, so I never knew anything different until one day I decided I needed a smaller, more convienent tool ... I live my little guy! :)
ReplyDeleteWow! This is a super giveaway! Thanks for all the work that you put into this!
ReplyDeleteFavorite tool? So hard to decide...my new machine (Janome MemoryCraft 6600) makes sewing a breeze. But I also love my Clover Wonder Clips for sewing on binding and my rotary cutter and mat... But if I could only have those things, I could get by... ;)
Happy Easter!
Yes, please! My favorite notion is an old thimble my mother gave me and any new fabric I get at the quilt shop!
ReplyDeleteNatalie at smileynann at yahoo
Thanks for the wonderful opportunity!

My favorite fabric right now is PB&J . So cute!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tool right now are my curved safety pins for basting, I've been doing a bunch of machine quilting lately!
My favorite tool is my big, giant triangle ruler. I find myself doing triangles a lot and it has definitely come in handy in more than a few occasions!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fabric right now is anything by Bonnie and Camille! I'm drooling over their new line and can't wait for it to hit the shops!
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of tools that I wouldn't want to be without. One favorite is my iron -- I think it's V50 by Reliable. It's the orange one.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE my dresden ruler - makes them so easy :) - and my favorite fabric right now is Pearl Bracelets. Thanks for the chance! I've really enjoyed this series!
ReplyDeleteWhat neat giveaways! My current favorite tool is the silly, pink (not really my color) thimble I use for sewing binding. I like the look of the metal ones, but this stays on my finger!
ReplyDeletedeairdre at gmail dot com
Can an automatic bobbin winder be considered a sewing tool? Favorite fabric: Bonnie & Camille's stuff is way cute!
ReplyDeleteFabulous giveaway! I love my rulers...I'd be lost with out them but same can be said of my rotary cutter!
ReplyDeleteI really love my gypsy gripper. I don't think I would be able to cut yardage without it!! Thanks for the chance to win! I've really enjoyed reading about your favorite things!
ReplyDeleteRotary blade, I guess I am kinda newbie!
ReplyDeleteWithout a doubt the June Tailor Shape Cut slotted "ruler" (can you really call it a ruler?). Love the short work it makes of cutting strips and squares. Just a reminder to anyone who buys one: keep the instruction sheet that comes with it for the 1/4" cutting guides.
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway -- good luck to all!!
This was such a great series - thanks for sharing all your favorites! My newest favorite is my olfa rotating cutting mat - makes trimming blocks so easy :-)

ReplyDeleteIt's a tie between a nice sharp rotary blade and a nice hot iron! Thank you for such a great giveaway :)
ReplyDeleteThere are so many wonderful tools out there. Most we could not do without. But the tool I'm glad I spent the money on and makes quilting so much easier for me is my rotating cutting board! Thank you for organizing such awesome gifts for prizes. :)
ReplyDeleteI just bought an ergonomic Olfa rotary cutter, but haven't used it yet. I love my rulers! But they wouldn't be so useful without a rotary cutter.
ReplyDeleteI love my little metal ruler with the slide on it to mark a measurement...not sure what it is called as I have had it for 20 some years.
ReplyDeleteI love large rulers that make big cuts easy and accurate. I love this giveaway!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a giveaway you are all so wonderful for such great prizes. My favorite quilting tool is my long arm. I use it for mor than just doing quilting which is my favorite part of the process, but I also make HST, applique, and sew my borders on my quilt.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fabric is Art Gallery Pure Elements and Textures.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I've been using the Olfa brand Rotary since I started quilting 25 years ago. It has been THE most important tool that I use. I'd love to try one of the newer models with easy access to replace blades. Thanks! Great reviews.
ReplyDeleteI love my cut/iron pads! I have a small square one and two large rectangular ones. They are awesome to sit next to my sewing machine and iron as I piece and are flexibe to go on any surface.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win such a generous giveaway! My favorite quilting tool is my rotary cutter.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tool is the cutting mat. Wish they made a really big version so I could use it for cutting clothing pieces too. Oh, and my design board.
ReplyDeleteThanks for such a generous giveaway!
Zbilusic@gmail.com
My favorite quilting tool is my collection of Omnigrip rulers. They have little grippy bits on the back which help keep them in place when I'm cutting fabric, very helpful!
ReplyDeletealegria_a at yahoo dot com
I love my Go! cutter for tricky curvy pieces. I will say that I don't like the Fiskars rotary cutter. Doesn't hold a candle to the Olfas.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this great giveaway. My favorite notion is steam-a-seam - it's perfect for installing zippers! So much easier than pins.
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite tool is my computer for all of the tutorials I can learn from...a close second is my phone/mp3 player to listen to classic literature on audiobooks...love that when hand quilting!
ReplyDelete-Emily
Right now, I am loving my add a quarter ruler. I got hooked on paper piecing at Sew South.
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway, and it was fun reading about your favorite things and all the others in the comments. One of my current favorites is my awl. I sewed through my finger once, and that was enough. Now I use the awl when I need to manipulate fabric close to the needle.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tool ... my 10 x 4 ruler. It is perfect for those small jobs when I don't need to use the big ruler!
ReplyDeleteI would definitely have to go with Wonder Clips. They are SO handy in so many ways! I like to use one of them to keep my tape measure wound up, so it doesn't get tangled in my sewing basket.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't live without self-threading needles. Great giveaway! So many wonderful items!
ReplyDeleteI love my new clover needle threader - since I seem to be sewing on more buttons than quilts at the moment...
ReplyDeleteMy favourite tool would have to be my purple fabric marker and favourite fabric would probably be rock and romance which I really want to get some of yet :)
ReplyDeleteMy walking foot! I dont know how I lived without it for so long!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the awesome giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy most-used tool, for which I have a love-hate relationship with, is my seam ripper. Ohhhh... what would I do without her? Yet at the same time, I cringe every time I pull her out of the drawer.
Happy Sewing!!
I absolutely love my rotary cutter!
ReplyDeleteI have quite a few favorite tools, but I really like my new Olfa 17 inch Rotating Mat for trimming large blocks. Thanks for the chance to win such great prizes.
ReplyDeleteI have to pick one??? My favorite thing right now Is the pink craftsman tool bag I keep my tools in. Thanks for the chance to win!!'
ReplyDeleteGotta love the rotary blade. Best invention ever for sewing! :)
ReplyDeleteSo much great stuff to try. My favorite of the moment is my Niagara starch. I just started using it before cutting and my piecing has never looked better.
ReplyDeleteLike everyone else, I love my rotary cutter!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great giveaway!
Given the fact that I am still a less than perfect seamstress, I should probably say that my favorite tool is a seam ripper. :). Actually, my favorite tool is my rotary cutter and big mat!
ReplyDeleteI'm a pretty new quilter but I'm really loving my rotating cutting mat - I don't have a good cutting area set up and I make more accurate cuts when I can always cut from the same angle.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite sewing tool my 24" x 6" Omnigrip ruler. It is perfect for cutting and measuring. It isn't so big that it is unwieldy yet it can tackly 1/2 width of fabric like a champ! My favorite go-to fabric is Kona ash. Thanks for the giveaways. Fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteWow! Generous giveaway for sure...and a new blog to follow, love that.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tool is probably my purple thang, next to my rotary cutter and my favorite fabric is anything Art Gallery. It is like working with crisp batik but its regular fabric. Love it!
Am I allowed two?! My favourite tools are my 0.5mm mechanical pencil and freezer paper. I use the pencil to mark my sewing lines, after I've ironed on my freezer paper templates - I couldn't manage without these two tools. Oh, and me 1" x 6" ruler, I have four of them!
ReplyDeleteWow! What an amazing giveaway - with so many winners! :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite sewing tool is, well, let's be honest, my seam ripper because it gets so much use!
I also really love my marking pencil ( a vintage one from my grandmother that is incredible)
mrsrachelsbooth{at]Gmail{dot}com
I like linens and fabrics by Heather Ross :)
ReplyDeleteI just put a new blade in my Olfa cutter, so today I love it best!
ReplyDeleteI love all my quilting tools, but I guess my favorite is my rotary cutter. How would I cut without it? Scissors, oh no! Thanks for a wonderful giveaway!
ReplyDeleteFavorite tool - probably my Olfa cutter. Least favorite - seam ripper, but not because it's bad, just because I hate doing it :) Current favorite fabric - the Comma line - awesome!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I can live without my seam ripper. Not even sure what make it is but it slips through the mistake stitches like a hot knife through butter and therefore keeps the swearing to a minimum. Thanks for the chance in a fantastic giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite sewing tool is a super sharp rotary cutter! Favorite fabric is voile as of this week, my first time using it and it's SO soft!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful giveaway!!! I think my current favorite notion is the red Wonder Clips, but I only have ten - more would be so great for binding and construction projects. Thanks for the awesome giveaway chance!
ReplyDeletebeckygreene10 (at) gmail (dot) com
Well my favorite fabric at this time (even though I LOVE pure elements a really really really lot) are Kaffe Fassett's shot cottons.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the giveaway!
Loving this giveaway! At the moment my favorite tool is the Olfa rotating cutting mat. So handy!
ReplyDeleteUm, obviously my favorite sewing tool is my seam ripper. What would I do without it?!
ReplyDeleteMy fav tool these days are my red wonder clips. They are so cool!

ReplyDeleteHELLO! MY FAVORITE TOOLS ARE MY GINGHER SCISSORS>TINY ONE TO THE LARGE! THANKS FOR SHARING A GREAT GIVEAWAY!
ReplyDeletemsstitcher1948@yahoo.com
My favorite tool is my rotary cutter (45mm) hands down. Love it.
ReplyDeleteI love Pearl Bracelets too.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tool is a fresh rotary blade.
ReplyDeleteI recently purchased a Creative Grids 5 1/2" square and I have to say I love it. The markings are great and it doesn't slip at all. I will slowly be replacing many of my rulers with Creative Grids.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite sewing tool is my iPad. I cannot sew without putting on a Netflix movie/TV show!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite tool at the moment is a frixion pen whixh I use to mark fabric - it steams off with the iron. I have to admit, I've been getting in the habit of writing the names of the pattern pieces right on the fabric when I'm making bags. So awesome!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tool(s) are my scissors... I have 32 pairs - tiny to large and I love them all!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tools vary with the job. Piecing- Superior or Aurifil thread. Basting- 505 Spray. Quilting- Gloves, Sew Slip, and thread. Your favs are great. Have to give some of them a try.
ReplyDeleteWonderful giveaways! My favorite tool is my Olfa rotary cutter! What a timesaver and makes cutting quilt pieces so easy and accurate!
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite tool right now is my non-slip ruler and my rotary cutter. Getting that fabric cut right is important! Thanks for the giveaway and the info packed posts on tools.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tool seems to be my Clover seam ripper! I've worn out several!
ReplyDeleteWow! This is fantastic :) thank you!! My favorite tool? Yikes. I suppose my rotary cutter... I can't.imagine cutting fabric without it!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite sewing tool...naptime. Not a tool? I beg to differ! it is as important to sewing as the machine itself!
ReplyDeletewhitnerkane@gmail.com
I'm a new quilter, but so far my favorite tool is my Olfa Deluxe Rotary cutter. I love that it's blade pops back in and I don't have to slide it in and out every time I use it. I'm pretty absent minded sometimes and I'm sure I would end up cutting myself if it weren't for that feature.
ReplyDeleteWonderful giveaway. I just started paper piecing and am loving my quarter inch ruler.
ReplyDeleteAmazing giveaway! Thank you so much! My favorite tool by far is my Olfa rotary cutter. I've tried others and there's no comparison!
ReplyDeleteFantastic giveaway! I love all my tools but couldn't do without the rotary cutter, rulers and mats.
ReplyDeleteAH! Pick me! Right now, I'm loving my Clover clips so much I have one clipped to my hoody pocket.
ReplyDeleteWow, so many great prizes! I have to say my favorite, most used item would be my pink Olfa rotary cutter. (Though, my stork scissors fall a very close second)
ReplyDeleteI've really enjoyed reading the posts this week about favorites. My favorite quilting tool is my computer. I design my own patterns using Illustrator and often spend more time designing than sewing. Need to work on balancing that more.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tool is my rotary cutter! I don't know what I would do without it!
ReplyDeletei LOVE my rotary cutter!! I need to invest in a good quality one though.
ReplyDeleteI love wonder clips; it makes hand sewing the binding so much easier.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win.
My favorite tool is my ergonomic handle seam ripper. Makes it so much nicer to use!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway!!! Love all those fabrics too, My favorite gadget right now is my new Baby Lock Melody...brand new machine last week and loving her!! Besides that; my rotary cutter and GoBaby cutter are fantastic!!!
ReplyDeleteMy surgical seam ripper, is my favorite tool. Of course the rotary cutter is something I couldn't live without. Thanks for the fun giveaway! ;-> Toni Anne
ReplyDeleteHere are a couple free-motion quilting tools I wouldn't quilt without. A Supreme Slider on the sewing machine bed makes it easier to push the quilt around. And, because quilting gloves are a nuisance to take on and off, I use Neutrogena hand cream to give my hands the "grip" needed to move a quilt around. Neutrogena doesn't leave any residue on a quilt, and is a great hand moisturizer. You should give it a try, Kati. Thanks for the chance to win any of these five super giveaway prizes!
ReplyDeleteI like binding clips. They are holding my papers and fabric together for my EPP hexies and double as hair clips when I let my bangs get too long.
ReplyDeleteMy fav tool is my rotary cutter but would love to try the Clover clips.
ReplyDeletewhen hand quilting, I can't do without my magnetic top thimble. It holds the needle for me so I don't drop it and end up finding it with my bare feet later!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome giveaway, thank you so much, I need to invest in an Olfa Rotary cutter and then that will be my favorite tool, I am just horrible at cutting fabric with scissors.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite sewing tool is my Brite Lite attachment.
ReplyDeleteI love dots & am in love with the Pearl Bracelet fabrics.
