Last "quilt/sewing" show I went to I found a little green doo-hicky that sits down into the hold of a spool of thread with a magnet on top so I don't put needles into the arm of my chair, LOL after almost 6 month, I think I'm getting into the habit of actually using it. I think it was about $2.50. That's all I spent at the whole show beyond admission and parking (now those are getting ridiculous!). Too many one use items.

To OnebyOne - original poster: Add a Quarter ruler with the tapered edge, no more need for the credit card or post card to fold.
Braid thread. You pull a thread and it rouches. Will rouche it and add as a piping to my binding. [QUOTE]
Would love to see a picture of the Add-a-Quarter ruler and explanation of why it is better.
Would like to see a picture of how this Braid Thread looks when attached after it is pulled up.
quiltingbuddy #3: The block lock ruler is one I have been looking for for a few years. Should have bought it when I first saw it.
BettyGee #15 The Wahl seam ripper sounds great. I want one.
AZJane #16: Would love to see a picture of the "little green doo-hicky" that hangs onto your needles. On a spool of thread? ? ? ?

In traditional paper piecing, the paper is folded over on the fold line using a firm piece of paper or plastic. Then the add a quarter ruler is used to cut the fabric to get a perfect 1/4" allowance. The taper edge is on the opposite side of the ridge on the ruler so no extra item needed to fold the paper and it will help prevent accidents of cutting the seam allowance off. If you paper piece a lot then you will know the improvement makes the ruler so much better. I'll take a picture and post it later.

I followed the link and the larger size was $115.00 and that included shipping. I would have to think about it or see it in action.
