  1. My favorite sewing tool is the rotary cutter. Can’t imagine cutting with scissors after using this tool.

  2. My favorite tool is my rotary cutter and mat. I’ve not seen these cutters before, interesting!

  3. I love you letters! My favorite notion is my silter T J Lane thimble. I do a lot of hand sewing and use it nearly every day.
    Maryann

  4. My favorite sewing tool is my little awl. It is so handy when sewing small pieces, indispensible. I have an antique that I found at a yard sale and I cherish it.

  5. I would have to say my favorite tool is my thread snips. Works better than scissors at getting those little stragglers.

  6. My favorite tool is the rotary cutter. Where would I be without it? Love that there are several sizes.

  7. I have to say my favorite is the mat and plastic ruler. I made my first quilt with cardboard squares that I wrote around with a pencil. A long time ago.

  8. I recently started using the Sew Fine thread gloss and it is wonderful. I have the pineapple, so every time I use it I smell pineapple. mmmmm

  9. I love my stiletto! Useful for picking stitches, guiding fabric under the needle, and elegant, too

  10. My favorite notion is my olfa Splash cutter!! The Havel one looks nice!!
    Thank you!

  11. I love my featherweight sewing machine! My husband got it for me and didn’t have any idea how much I wanted one.

    Love your letter blocks.

    Have a safe and blessed Mother’s Day!

    Thanks , dale

  12. Loving all the letter blocks! I’ve gotten so many ideas of what to spell and how to use these! My favorite sewing tool (besides my Viking) is my Kai scissors. I have 3 pair in different sizes and they are the greatest fabric cutters! duchick at gmail dot com

  13. My favorite sewing tool is: the nose clipper scissors I bought when I had my first son 59 years ago. Those blunt nosed scissors are my go-to whenever I have to trim close to anything. Didn’t know they were such great sewing aids when I bought them. Never did use them to clip the hair in any child’s nose, but sure use them to clip inside points sewing.

  14. My favourite sewing notion is my little Clover brand, Press Perfect Roll & Press by Joan Hawley. This tool is so handy when you are piecing lots of little blocks, just sew and roll to make everything nice and flat without jumping up to iron every few minutes.

  15. I don’t know if this qualifies as a tool, but my favorite thing to use is 505 adhesive spray. I really dislike pin basting. Thanks!
