Do you have any tool that you use all the time? Do you recommend it to everyone unprompted? Is it ridiculously specific to your situation, wants and needs? Let every one know how they can make their sewing better!!

I myself don’t have any at the moment, but I have been eyeing a nice pair of left-handed fabrid scissors for quite some time and I might get it some day.

    Something I always feel especially glad to have is those tweezers with the bent ends on them. I use them to thread the machine (especially pulling through from behind the needle), pull up bobbin thread, turn edges under close to the needle, grab stuff that fell behind the desk…. I can’t think of all their uses right now.

    I have a favorite seam ripper. The blade is one end and the other is a curved point that is ideal for poking out corners, flattening seams, etc. I use it more than I care to admit 😀 but when you need to try again there is nothing else that works as well.

    Rotary cutter and a cutting mat. Made cutting fabric so much easier, especially since my hands quickly get tired from using scissors.

      It looks a bit dangerous to me, I feel like it is easier to cut oneself with it. Maybe it’s just because I am used to scissors though… what’s your opinion on safety with it?
