I love my iron. There is something about taking wrinkled fabric and making it crisp. It is like putting the life back in it.

I just received the Slidelock straight edge set. That is my favorite tool at this time. Of course I couldn't do without the cutting mat, rotary cutter and 18" by 6 1/2" ruler.

I have to agree. I can't cut a straight line to save my life. I do everything with shapecut. I also love the Olfa circle cutter. It cuts a PERFECT circle up to 8.5" every time.

Shape cut plus is my all time favorite also.....I can cut strips and squares for an entire quilt in an afternoon. Also love my 1/4" foot with guide.....all the pieces using these two things just seem to fall together!!

Here are two of my favorites that I didn't notice being listed yet: Electric Quilt 7 and extra fine glass head pins.

The design software is awesome for getting the scale of my blocks and borders to my liking and it also ensures that the final quilt size is what I had in mind.

The extra fine pins are great for getting the accuracy that I want when joining paper pieced sections and other inticate piecing situations.

I just bought the Quilters Slidelock and love it. I never use the round red plastic hoop thing that is supposed to make free motion quilting easier. Also I have not used the rotary cutter that requires 65 mm blades since I used up the original one. Too expensive to replace the blade. And I thought that cutter was such a bargain when I found it!
