    I probably have a couple of templates and rules that I could do without but who knew? Otherwise I can't think of anything I would do without.

    Hands down the best thing I bought is the Shape Cut Plus. I can zip out those strips and squares in no time. I just cut out a bunch of blades for a Dresden fan quilt I'm working on and was amazed at how easy it turned out to be! I loved working with precuts, but the pinked edges drove me nuts.

    I think rotary cutter, mat, rulers, ripper and scissors are a given just like a sewing machine and thread. My favorite tools are:

    1. Go die cut machine
    2. Clover Wonder clips

    Yes to the Clover Wonder clips, great for bindings.
    Love Eleanor Burns flying geese rulers and all her other methods, always the easiest way.
    I prefer over size and trim down methods and her triangle sq up ruler only needs one cut to sq up.

    Deb Tuckers rulers and patterns and laminated pages for other ways to use the rulers. I have almost all of them. Also the True Cut rulers and rotary cutter and their most expensive blade sharpener. I don't remember the last time I bought new rotary blades. These are my most go to tools but I love gadgets of all kinds.

    My favorite is my 6x24 inch ruler and my 60mm rotary cutter. I just ordered a jelly roll ruler, can't wait to try it. I'm also a sucker for quilt books, I love them. I have stacks of them I look at for entertainment and inspiration.

    I,m with you, Nan. I've bought every ruler that is advertised, for, this, that, and everything. I could have a garage
    sale on just rulers. You don,t need dozens of them. Just a few that measure most things.
