They’re pretty awesome, right Mary? I have two and love them both.

Wonder clips are pretty dang nice to work with. I enjoy mine. Thanks for watching😊🐥

Take care of yourself and in glad to hear “recovering” ‼️🐥

Totally agree! Martelli has great mats too 😊🐥

I'm a lefty and blind in my left eye. The Martelli rotary cutter helps me a lot. I also put a 5lb. Weight at the end of my ruler to help keep my ruler from sliding.

@@carolynlewis1264 I. Use a weight or two for cutting too!

My Bloc Loc ruler. 😊😍🐥

I see a lot of quilters using that and want to try it. Thanks for commenting Janice😊🐥

I have a magnetic bowl in the longarm studio, I should probably have one in my sewing room but I dearly love my chick pincushions. I checked out the pattern, it's adorable! The pinwheels add so much!! Thanks for watching!!!!

Oh yes! I have Alexa in my sewing room and I love her!!

That sounds like the one I have in my Longarm studio. One can never have enough Weerd baskets if your a winter c thanks for watching my channel. 😊🐥

They are pretty fantastic, Brenda. Thanks for watching 😊🐥

I mostly use my Purple Thang fro turning applique'

Yes for wonder clips, can't live without them!!! Thanks for watching!

I love the sidewinder bobbin winder, I don't have one but thankfully my Juki TL winds a bobbin while it's threaded. Thanks for watching Janell!!

Thank you! Do you watch Juki Junkies? They also have a Facebooko group with the same name. I love them!!

Thank you ReaAnne😊 I loved making it and it’s its my favorite. Thanks for watching😊🐥

The people thang is a classic. Thanks Randi😊🐥

They’re cool tools for sure 👍🏼😊♥️🐥

About a dozen viewers mentioned the strip tube ruler. I’m going to have to try one.😊 Thanks for watching my channel🐥

You must tell us how! Please 😊

I’m impressed 😱😊🐥

The clips sound cool and I’ve never heard of a steel wool cushion. I’ll have to give that one a try😀 Thanks😍🐥

I have graph paper in several sizes, but I'm thinking about getting Electric Quilter.

Cool, I use the light on my machine. I can see that a UV light would be the best though. TFW😊♥️🐥

Thats cool Nancy, you have a couple of heavy metal clappers there. Good times :) Thank you for watching my channel! :)

Thank you, Nancy. What a wonderful idea for the flat iron. I'll have to get mine off my bookcase, clean, and the bottom of it. My grandma would be happy seeing it being used instead of a decoration. Thank you again for the wonderful idea.

Thanks Sister Chick & y’all as well-such great ideas, except for putting thread outside for the birds, because they have found that it causes more harm than good…..the Audubon Society-“Not only can the string get tangled around the birds feet, but it can also strangle them and cut off circulation leading to missing limbs or death. Birds can also accidentally eat the thread and that leads to internal obstructions. Sometimes the string can get really tangled and actually tether the bird to the nest so they can’t leave! Even if you cut your thread into really short pieces so it can’t tangle it’s still harmful. Cotton and wool retain water and will make the nest cold and moldy. And while a bright colorful rainbow nest might look pretty to us humans, it makes the nest much easier to spot by predators.” Last Christmas I bought some clear glass Christmas balls and filled them with thread bits or tiny fabric scraps and they turned out great….. I have also seen how someone took their leftover thread and made bowls out of it. PS I use Elmer’s washable glue sticks (the kind that goes on purple so that you can see it and then dries clear), to among other things like holding binding in place to help keep my seems aligned. It also helps if you give it a quick press after you glue it-the heat helps to set the glue AND it still washes out. A dab of Arlene’s tacky craft glue on the back of elastic keeps it from stretching and moving-it washes out & doesn’t gum up my needle.

Wow! You did a learn much and thank you, Again! I too, do not have a clapper and decided to get one after reading many of the comments the other day. Thank you, quilters 😍 I am sew loving my new hobby! And most grateful to the RU-vidrs out there, I recently discovered… INCREDIBLE people

I always start with a small easy project when ‘m having a difficult time starting. You might consider seeing a professional, I’m a fan of therapy. Hugs and thanks for watching my channel😊 😊❗️

That's funny, aren't chickens great :) ??? Be careful, dental picks are sharp. THanks for watching :)

@@sisterchicksquilting Yes!!! I love my chickies. They really helped me through a few passed health issues and they have a home for life 😍

Look up the pattern, " Fly The Coop" it's adorable and the applique can even be put onto clothing like jackets, sweatshirts and even totes. This is a fun quilt pattern.

LOL, I have a pair on my sewing tools also, :) Thanks for watching my channel:) !!!

There’s nothing as good as a hot steam iron 😊❗️. Thanks for watching my channel 😊🐥

Quilters wouldn't be quilters without Winder Clips, LOL!

A friend gave me one her brother made. It’s thinner on one side with flat angled bottoms. They’re pretty cool 😎 Carrie. Thanks for sharing.

Where did you buy or how did you make?? I have been looking for one!!!

@@NoOverPaying2023 If you google "strip stick for ironing" you should find it. Multiple places sell it, including Missouri Star and Fat Quarter Shop. I wanted to make my own, so I went to Home Depot and bought a 12 inch long pre-cut piece of finishing wood (near the mouldings) and covered it with thin batting and then fabric. Love how it turned out, and super useful.

@@carriemayer2980 Thank you SO much. Idk it was called that!!

That sounds interesting. Your finger becomes a little Narwhal then? Thanks for watching🐥😊

YESSSS Bloc-Loc rulers ar the best!! Thanks for watching :)

Thank you so much! It's my favorite quilt. TFW!!!

Those are such a nice tool :) Enjoy it :) !!

Now that’s a new one on me Nj. Thanks for sharing😊

Please look up giving the birds the thread. It is actually very bad for them. If you google it you will see the reasons why not to do so.

@@annablock8037 I was not aware of the dangers, I only use cotton and thought that would be ok. Thanks for the info. I will be tossing those threads in the bin.

Thanks, I must say it's my favorite I'm so glad you lvoe it too :)
