Enjoyed the suggestions. I always enjoy looking at the quilts hanging behind you and try to figure out the pattern. I was really intrigued by this one. Thanks for sharing.

Creative grid rulers aren’t really that good people need to try out quilters select or Marelli rulers There are so many people in the United States that need clothes and yet this lady is ripping up shirts that could go to those in need

Harbour Freight Tools has magnetic bowls. I found them on sale for $1.99 a couple of weeks ago!

Fun!!! Great ideas, too! Side note: i went to the Guggenhein website & the 8" taylor shears were half off!

Every time I use my Guggenheim scissors I smile, seriously amazing! Best scissors I’ve ever used, hands down. I like how they sound too! Ha ha! I need to let my hubby know, I’d love some thread for Christmas. Great list, thank you! I’m all about ‘beautiful and useful’.💕⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I may or may not have gotten myself the 4 pack of neutral Aurifil colors at the Houston Quilt Show this year. 😎

Interesting info shared in this video about linen! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWm5dICuid6ArNU

I have those Tula Snips .... they are the very best! All of Tula's scissors are the very best ... my set is 5 years old and they are still very sharp.

I purchased the Guggenhein scissors last month after hearing so many of the garment sewers I watch on YT recommend them - LOVE THEM! Quality scissors. Pat Sloan was the first quilter I took an in-person class with waaaay back in the early '90s, she was just getting known around that time for her primitive style applique, she is a lovely person. I don't have the Tula Pink snips but I do have a pair of her 4" Micro Tip Scissors - great for cutting into tight corners etc. Thanks for another swell video, Happy Thanksgiving to you and fam next week.

❤

I hope you know how lucky you are to have such a large selection. We have just tiny shops and perhaps just one or two small carousels or a short rail of shirts.

So helpful Cathy! I use my lint rollers on my cutting mats, works great. I would love a pair of the shears...maybe Santa will bring me a pair.

thank you so much Cathy!

The creative grid 6.5 ruler is my go-to ruler, love,love,love it. It and the 2.5 x 18 creative grid ruler are my two most used rulers. ❤

Unsewer

I just ordered the scissors and also got the little giant precision scissors. Thanks for the recommendation! Will look for the lint roller 0:06 when I’m out shopping. The ones I use just don’t last but a few swipes.

Just bought the G scissors and their snips... also 50% off ...my current snips are actually a very sharp, very short bladed but pointed outdoor lawn and garden find .. love them so much i bought a second pair

“Happen to be in a quilting store “!

Great summary of all the tools. I would love to know where you got your thread holder from for organising your spools.

Re rulers: You might consider Quilter’s Select. The entire bottom side is coated-they do not move. I switched to these. Love them!

Before I developed carpal tunnel and tennis elbow, etc.... I was an embroiderer, then a cross-stitcher big time. I have never had relatives or friends who shared my passions or presented me with presents. I love your tree gifts and the fact that you thought they were so special. I'm pooping out a bit these days, at 78y, taking much too long to finish a quilt, though your ideas excite me! Thank you for posting your videos as I love them!

There’s a seam ripper called Seam Fix with two ends, two sizes, with rubbery caps that look like the Michelin man that pulls the ripped threads from the seam, similarly to how an eraser is used.

Love Aurifil threads!

As always, a great video with loads of ideas. Is that thread stand (that you showcased Aurifil threads on) also available? That would be handy to have next to the machine

I love my really good scissors and that satisfying scissor sound!

I like "seam reaper" better 😂😂😂

I have been gradually replacing my existing rulers with the Creative Grids versions, that’s how much I love them. The feel, the frosted grips on the bottom, the markings, the on-the-ruler instructions - just the best! My latest fave is the flying geese trimmer, but I love the Stripology ruler, too. I also want to mention that Aurifil really has their spool game down. Something about those orange 50wt spools, either the way the thread is wound or the design of the spool - makes the sewing easier. I bought a knock-off on Amazon, and the color choices and price were amazing, but the spools’ inner diameter was just a hair too wide, and the sewing became more choppy and less consistent. Now a lifetime supply of bobbin thread, I guess. Confession: I splurged on an Aurifil collection of variegated thread😍which I’ve only used a couple of times for quilting, but the serotonin boost when opening THAT box is pretty big! Good choices for this list, Cathy. I may “need” those snips…

Try the Scotch Brite PET EXTRA STICKY with purple label. Far superior to the Everyday Clean red label product. You will be amazed.

I just love watching your YT videos. I think they are a wonderful tool! I'd love everything on this list.

I wait until I’m alone to watch your videos as you always have me laughing out loud. Your kind encouragement and humor are truly gifts from God that bless us all!

Great video Cathy!

great tips, I tell people that I come with strings attached

Another lovely video, but I always miss when you go live - because, well sleep! Now if you went live about 3am you might catch more of us of a certain age. Lol - JK. Thanks for all the great gift ideas - perfect time of year to talk about gifting for your favorite quilter! ❤

So many great tools! My favorites items are similar (but different specifics - thimble tape for my win!) This is an excellent list.

Whoo-ho, live your videos, wake up with them most Fridays. Thinking hard on the Gugenheim scissor and thread....Thread first since I'm down low, heard the same thing about Dove Gray. Thanks fir a great video...again you two are great together, love Paul's insets throughout the videos

Good ideas and well curated ! We all have bought things when new quilters that we dont use but its a learning curve. Ive been very ill for about 6 weeks and just getting my sew-jo back.The past few years have been very challenging physically for me and seemingly my new normal😮.The one thing that l always look forward to is getting back to sewing.l just sewed a pair of flannel pajama pants for my daughter's boyfriend as a Christmas gift as l had been meaning to do siince last year 😂 What a challenge this was as l hadnt sewn a clothing item for some time!!!!! It seems that my brain and that pattern along with inseam pockets just didn't jive ...put my big-girl pants on and got 'er done😊 HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all your family and l'm thankful for all your videos and warm responses to my comments.

I prefer using bias binding, and I must say that the Bias Binding Simplified Ruler is wonderful.

I'm here to testify to the joy of the Clover leather thimble 😂 I have hated thimbles all my life, until I found the ONE PERFECT thimble. I too, forget that it's on my finger, it is that comfortable!

Looooove CG rulers! And those shears are the best I've ever used, they are so good!

Just ordered the shears- I’ve been wanting them and didn’t know about the sale! Caught it just in time. Tfs!

I just went online to check out the guggenhein scissors and saw that they are made for right handed people and, at this time, they don't have scissors for us left-handers.

Fiskars handles their warranties for all of their products including cutting mats and rulers the same way..Great Company !!

I have had gingher scissors foe over 20 years and loved them. When I saw that Guggenheim is associated with gingher. I knew I had to have them, Early Christmas present for me - and at half price!!!

LOL love all your tools, and have some on my to get list, lol I do have the #2600 Dove grey Aurifil thread, can't say I have used it yet, haha it's too pretty to use, but I will try to be brave an tear off the wrapper soon, maybe in 2025!!

❤❤❤

HA, I remember those old red lint brushes. It's all we had at the time and thought they worked great!

Girl, take those shears to your local guy who Shar p ens knives...and scissors. Now, generally speaking, it's been the locksmith that sharpens scissors. There. Now you have a pair for your darling daughter. How great is that!

Just visited the Guggenheim site and bought 3 pairs of scissors! Love having beautiful tools! Thank you for your recommendations. 😀❤️😀

Great tips!! Like myself, for people who would appreciate rulers that are totally not slippery I LOVE Spin About. They are available on Amazon. They dramatically changed my quilting experience. I too am a fan of Pat Sloan. For those unfamiliar with her KZbin channel she is currently on Tuesdays through Thursdays. Thanks Cathy, you are delightful!😊
