Clover Easy Loop Turner - Just clip and push to easily turn fabric tubes right side out. Insert the Easy Loop Turner into the tube. Thread the cording or batting through the hole in the Easy Loop Turner before turning the tube. The cording or batting may be inserted after the tube has been turned. #C472 - $6 Cdn.
The Angler2 This cute little tool sticks onto the bed of your sewing machine and allows you to line up squares so that you can sew 45 degree angles without drawing them in. It really speeds up making half square triangles and doing any of those "nibble at the corner" blocks (like flying geese and snowballs and anything by Pam Bono.... #Nang2 - $7.50
Wooden Press Bar Simple but effective….. a piece of wood with angles at each end (so it works for right or left-handed people) to do a quick pressing job when paper piecing or making log cabins. For people who hate jumping up to find an iron after every seam. #NWDBR - $5 Cdn -
Fabric Grabbers Tired of having your rulers slip while you're cutting? The little sandpaper circles are fine for the small rulers and templates but don't seem to control the big ones. These are clear plastic stick-on's from EZ Quilting and they really grip. You do have to use enough of them so that your ruler sits evenly - I recommend at least 8 for the 6" x 24" size. 25 in a package. #NEZ113 - $4.95 Cdn.
Handi-Bobs These keep bobbin and thread spool together- and gives you a hani place to hook the thread so it doesn't unwind. Three per pack. #NHBob - $1.25 Cdn -	Bobbins You can never have too many of these.... 10 plastic bobbins that fit most machines using a drop in bobbin #NBBIN - $3.50 Cdn.
Bobbin Saver Comes in blue or red so you can separate different types of thread..... holds about 20 plastic or metal bobbins - does not include bobbins (the scan is my own) #NBFBS - $8.75 cdn

The Needle Nest A magnetic case to keep your needles safe.... Comes with two quality size 8 sharps to get you started. #N52C - $4.25 Cdn.

Pin Catcher The magnetic pin catcher attaches to the free arm or flat bed of your sewing machine and catches the pins you remove as you sew. DEFINITELY better than loosing them in the rug to step on later! #N55C - $2.95 Cdn	Ruby Beholder Sometimes it's hard to figure out if a fabric is light dark or medium..... Viewing it through the red plexiglass can clear it up for you... $7.50
	Thread Heaven Better than beeswax - run your thread through this to prevent fraying and snarling. Hypoallergenic, acid free and safe for all fabrics. #NTHV - $4.25 cdn.
Surgical Seam Ripper Hopefully you'll never need one.... but if you do this surgical seam ripper gets the job done fast with minimal damage. The scythe-like blade quickly slices through stitches while protecting the fabric underneath. #Nssrip - $4.50 Cdn And now there's a cute little mini -too - Nssrm - $2.50	Ultimate Surgical Seam Ripper Once you've decided that surgical is the way to go.... get this one - the blades are replaceable and it comes with 5 blades so you'll be good for years! #Nussrip - $12 Cdn
Quilter's 120" Measuring Tape Now here's something useful - especially for quilters...... a 120" tape measure...... and a bright neon yellow so it'll be hard to lose. #NTape120 - $3.50 Cdn.	Lickety Grip People have been asking me for this - so here it is... It "licks your fingers do you don't have to" - Use it to make your fingers grippy for machine quilting or hand sewing. It's acid free so it won't harm fabric......
Machingers These are super gloves for free motion quilting because the fingertips are fully coated for good grip and the palms are not - so they're less sweaty than other gloves. They're so lightweight and form fitting you can even keep them on to pull up you bobbin thread or thread your needle. Available in extra small, small/medium, medium/large, and extra large #NMCG - $13.50 cdn
