🔥 I Found AMAZING Sewing & Quilting Supplies At The Thrift Store

[@Magnanimous17]

My goodness your local Goodwill is AWESOME! My Goodwill NEVER has such cool stuff! Don't take such a clean, organized, well-stocked Goodwill for granted!!❤😊

[@stevemcmillin2737]

I bought a big bag of fabric scraps at a thrift store a couple of years ago. I could see some pretty wool and what I was sure were fat quarters. The bag was $20. Bought it, dumped it out at home and in the middle of the bag was an entire quilt kit and pattern that had never been open and had the price tag on it. $135!!!! Plus all those fat quarters.

[@martibrown2993]

I have a dressmaker. I made my daughters clothes when she was little 40 years ago. Your goodwill. Is much better than mine.

[@carolharris2329]

I knew you hit the jackpot when I saw the circle on that mat. Enjoy!!!

[@laurarose6829]

Same!

[@rochellenowik9875]

I am a card maker and use my score board every time I make cards. Your grands may enjoy making paper fans and butterflies for their mommy. I use my light box frequently for applique and card making, too.

[@TheSewingChannel]

Great idea!!!

[@chrissyluna8183]

I have a light box and a score board. I use to make folio with it.

[@judyabernathy9405]

I use my light tracing box for Foundation Paper Piecing! Rather than guessing if you’re tracing it right, just do it over the light box! Helps for other types of tracings, too.

[@quiltanon]

you could use old thread for basting...that way you use it up and you aren't wasting your good thread...just an idea

[@gquilter36]

Good for you Tracy, you deserve it. Enjoy your great find.

[@Debisjoy]

You won the lottery with the ofra mat! Good for you

[@helenedesmarais8697]

WINNER !!!! DING! DING! DING! 🤩

[@jenniferr9564]

I had a dressmaker for over 30 years. It was a real gem. I sewed all my three daughters clothes and even prom and bridal gowns on it.

[@arvettadelashmit9337]

I have a Dressmaker Sewing machine from the 1950's. The head is all metal. The cabinet has the style of the French Provincial furniture (but it needs refinishing). I bought it inside its cabinet at a yard sale for $5.00. It sews; but, it is not my go to machine. I never got into the stamps. Your grandchildren may enjoy tracing on that light box. I would use the light box to trace paper foundation patterns for sewing scraps into beautiful blocks. You lucky lady you. Someone at Goodwill goofed. It gives me hope that I may one day find something super wonderful at Goodwill. Congratulations!

[@TheSewingChannel]

Someone goofed bigtime!!!

[@patriciawilcox6492]

I knew the price because I've been looking at them. You scored big time.

[@annolsen8276]

I loved your Goodwill videos. The one by me hangs their fabric with the sheets, blankets, etc. I just got over 6 yards of navy blue with little white stars in tiny circles, For 3.99. What a find.

[@annetteellis4188]

Score! I think the light box will come in handy. Happy quilting

[@gailjernigan2482]

I’m jealous!! My Goodwill doesn’t see any craft supplies, and you hit the jackpot!!! Congratulations!!! 🥰

[@beckypetersen2680]

I wonder if they just toss them figuring they won't sell.

[@paulinechapman5669]

How fun..so much great and irrelevant stuff…by the by..your arms are lovely..🇨🇦

[@karenminnear7352]

What a blast, thanks for taking us along.

[@maryannadkins8307]

You got a deal! I mean a great deal!

[@SandraHamer-xv1uc]

Your such a nice person , am so happy for you I remember dressmaker sewing machines, their an older brand ,and when well maintained their real workhorses.

[@juneclements2111]

When you were unwrapping the cutting mat and I saw the circle on it I knew you hit the jackpot! What an awesome find!

[@shirleymize7629]

The tool was a crimping tool for jewelry making - it tightens the crimp beads to hold the other beads in place or to fasten beading wire/threads together.

[@kailualaur9394]

Mahalo Nui Loa to the donor! You've made our friend Tracy very happy! Looking forward to you enjoying your new mat (best find of all times at a GW!!!) and light board. Enjoy your good fortune! For all the good you do for all of us "out here", you deserve the jackpot of karma that came your way! ❤🌴

[@TheSewingChannel]

Thank you for your kind words❤

[@NellieShannon-p9g]

The light box is useful to quilters for tracing applique. The rotating mat is a big win.

[@SueB440]

That was fun! I have the exact weaving loom you were looking at in the brown box. My grandma gave it to me when I was very young and enjoyed weaving yarn. Brings back memories of her.

[@TheSewingChannel]

What a sweet memory Sue!!!

[@anndotsey1910]

Do the happy dance!!! You hit the Jackbot!!!

[@juliatepe5760]

I'm jealous, lol😂

[@misssocialdeb3777]

I love thrift stores for sewing, crafting supplies. I have that scoring board by Martha Stewart. I have used that a lot. That little tool is called a mini bone folder. It helps get nice folds crds, paper.

[@TheSewingChannel]

Thank you for that info.

[@susanmei9980]

Bone folders are nice for scoring quilting lines w/o marking your quilt w a pen. It just makes a slight crease that you can see just well enough to sew along. 🌟

[@georgiamccroy6527]

I have that rotating mat and use it at retreats. It’s flat and travels better than my Martelli round one. You’re going to love it for squaring up blocks!

[@mariawells8026]

Great finds! Keep light box. They are handy. Awesome on spin mat!!

[@christinej2358]

You hit the thrifting jackpot! Congratulations!

[@tonialtman3727]

Love it you won the JACK POT. Happy quilting

[@kimhanback1302]

I do paper crafting. I would love to have found the big score board. That stick is a bone folder and you use it to score your paper in the groves of the board. I quilt as well. I would have bought it for the score board and cutting mat.

[@kellyarnette4897]

Yes stamping is still huge! I make cards and have hundreds of stamps!

[@anneinstx1969]

Yes, you hit the jackpot. I knew as soon as I saw the circle diagram on the front. As I recall they are more than $50. I also knew the lite box was over a $100 because it took me a long time to buy one to trace off applique patterns. A lot easier than holding the paper up to a window.

[@pamstrong8709]

Wow, wow!!! I bought one of those mats at Joann. Priced at $100, but i used a 50%coupon. ...and I thought I scored. 😱 Nice going Tracy.

[@bethholness5153]

Got to love a good thrifting win. Well done for being in the right place at the right time.

[@eugeniajones6650]

Tracy, I have one I bought back in 1972, sews wonderfully. Heavy as ever but a great old machine. I still have it and sew with it.

[@ConniePeck1957]

Ok! I'm sold! I'm off to the thrift store! Thank you!

[@SharaLee60]

You won the jackbox! I have the Jo Anne's scoring board to score things for my junk journals. I wish I had that scoring mat & the light box. Great shopping at Goodwill! Thanks for sharing! Have fun cutting things! ♥️😉🫂🐾🦋✏️📓🪡🪡🧶🍄🍁🎃🧙‍♀️✨️

[@pamlacey136]

Oh my, you are one lucky lady. Great finds. Have fun using them.

[@lorrierunnals140]

How exciting! Enjoy your jackpot of goodies.

[@sjfuqua]

Wow what a haul! Wish my local goodwill had sewing supplies. You go girl!

[@tammymoore5723]

Yes! I make cards and use stamps and my scoreboard all the time! Love your channel!

[@natalieheffner2211]

Oh my goss this video was so fun! Thankyou for sharing. When you said rotating- I gasped! What a find!

[@TheSewingChannel]

🎉

[@terribishop5313]

Oh yaaaa, you scored!! ❤

[@connieclark3562]

How fun and crazy was this!!! And watching your face as you realized what you had was awesome! Love your thrifting videos, I’ve seen them all, some more than once, you’ve inspired me to try my Goodwill for quilting supplies and quilt backings.

[@NJGardengirl1961]

Wow, great score on the rotating mat!

[@loisbruce]

What a great find! You guys are so lucky to have a treasure trove of these wonderful outlets - the best we have in Blighty are charity shops and all the best donations are bagsied by the staff!

[@SoleildePerez]

Ho my goodness! You have made a real good deal! Yes! Great! ❤❤❤

[@GloriaMatz-l7d]

When you were talking about any leftover material or scraps, please remind viewers that Project Linus will take orphan blocks scrap material material you bought and thought you were gonna use but now you’re not. Yes, my sewing room is still a mess. I still have way too many scraps that I think I’m gonna use, but I do periodically try to purge and donate to them. Anything that I’m just not attached to. They have a lot of older Members whom are on fixed incomes and want to sew but can’t afford the material. They make up quilt kits or just let the people have material and bring back the quilts in whatever stage. They have members that just piece quilt tops some that really like auditioning free motion quilt patterns using the project line of quilt and some of the people just enjoy sewing on binding. So please encourage viewers to locate their local project Linus groups thank you.❤ 4:47

[@longarmingbyjaclyn]

@@GloriaMatz-l7d is there a web link for this?

[@sarahkinsey5434]

Churches, community centers, buy nothing groups, other charities, etc are great for getting rid of material too

[@judyzeigler3980]

You got a great deal rotating cutting board those things are expensive. They are so nice to have. I have a little one and use it all the time.😊and light box is so nice to have. Very good deal.😊

[@darlenewener6520]

I learned to sew on a Dressmaker sewing machine when I was a young girl. It's a good machine. I have the same light box too and it's great.

[@carenstory8425]

Great job 🎉 April has alot of stamps when she was doing scrap booking . Our Mother inlaw still does scrap booking. And making cards. Great find that rotating cutter and healing too . Great price I got one not to long ago for 40 bucks. Enjoyed your good will shopping 🛍

[@marymiller2398]

I have a Dress Maker machine. I love it. I bought it in 1982. Still going.strong.

[@SharonRStudio]

What a great find. The lightbox is so handy for tracing patterns, tracing pictures and seeing through fabric. Mine is a light tracer II but newer and grey.

[@laurarose6829]

I love thrifting and finding things like this. It’s exciting to see. You will get great use out the this. I just found a moda 1/4 meter bundle at my thrift store in 4 bags with other fabric for $15. It’s really the only way I can do this hobby is by also adding thrifted fabrics 😊

[@bonni71256]

That is my go to lightbox. I have some other ones but I like that one the best.

[@sarahferrell5458]

SO jealous of the turntable mat!!! You GO!!!

[@denisepettit8534]

Great find and fun to watch as you opened and realized all that you had and your excitement! Thank you for sharing I call that a happy dance find. Enjoy.

[@stephaniegee3481]

You have an amazing craft section in yours. Ours redid them so they don't have much outside of housewares and clothing now -- so boring. Have that same light box.

[@dawndecesare2177]

What a score. Amazing!!!

[@mamakaka73]

Don't be sad when you see homemade things at goodwill. Someone who can't afford one can own and love it. And the maker probably will bever know. Plus, lots of people just give to charity anyways. So I am never sad when I see that.

[@natalieheffner2211]

Thankyou for your comment, what a good way to look at it! 😊

[@sarahkinsey5434]

Some quilters just quilt all day everyday so friends and family get lots of quilts. I'm sure they keep the favorites and rehome the others

[@carlam.9529]

Wow, you really lucked out !!! Congratulations !!!

[@jenniferr9564]

I have one and love mine. I use it all the time. The rotating mat was a great find. I have a 12.5 inch and it was over 80.00 new.

[@margarethanson50]

Love goodwill or thrift store sometimes found it worth to buy so bargain to use my sewing things love it and your score for the right price like I do. , Amen.

[@leicamcgill451]

Jackpot on the mat!!!

[@laurag8641]

I have that same light box (have had for years!), except mine has a gray box. Love it, it’s a great size for tracing larger patterns or lots at once. I use painters tape to hold my tracing paper in place. nice find!

[@TheSewingChannel]

Thank you for the tape tip✅

[@SusieMonk-jh8tj]

Thrilled for you. Worth me getting on a plane to come goodwill shopping❤❤

[@pst47wings]

I guess I need to start checking out my Goodwill!

[@dawnspruill1914]

You scored big time!

[@auntqueenee]

I keep a small light box next to my machine. Sometimes the extra light from behind helps with piecing and placement of small pieces

[@Meyersci]

Great haul! Yes, I am still using rubber stamps and have taken them all 10K of them off of the wood backing, put cling foam on them and indexed them in Google Keep (that took about two years). I make Junk journals and gelli art prints, plus cardmaking and still some scrapbooking. The scoring board is very useful in card making and journal making. You can make several score lines along a strip of paper to pleat it, for instance. I wish I could find that rotating cutting board at the GW. That's sort of a white whale in the crafting world!

[@TheSewingChannel]

Wow ..now that's a lot of stamps!

[@amandastratton8242]

Watching your channel from Buckinghamshire, England, UK. what a great find Tracy well done. I don't know of any shops like that here. Thank you for sharing your video and excitement with us, you brightened up my evening xx

[@ChristinaFisher-u5n]

I love you! I feel like I just went shopping with you!

[@tammihackley4349]

Wow! Your Goodwill is fantastic!

[@TheSewingChannel]

It has its ups and downs:)

[@OffKilterCrafterIan]

That first thing that you pulled off the pile that was from Martha Stuart I use to have when I was a paper crafter. I used it all the time to score my card stock. I got rid of mine when I stopped paper crafting but it was one of my most used tools.

[@TheSewingChannel]

I had no clue what it was lol. Sounds like a popular craft tool for sure!

[@janiesoito4494]

You hit the jackpot! Good for you!😊

[@Sewwithdebee]

Win, win great finds - love your Thrifting vids

[@lindafugate2938]

The plastic canvas you saw in the store … some use it as a base inside bags. It is east to cut. I have made a Christmas village with it for under my tree also.

[@stepoff1277]

Traci!!! I'm so jealous! Nice find! And I think you could use the light box for drawing templates to cut fabric or for quilting lines.

[@chi2tan]

Amazing mat! I love mine. Would have loved the light tracer. You SCORED!!!

[@susanbaker8023]

That's a good buy. I own that light box. I love it for paper piecing. The olfa products are the 💣.

[@sharonframpton1887]

Hi Tracy! Nice finds! I live in a small town which has a small GW. I need to find a light for my fancy lightbox and i keep forgetting to look. Nice mat! Enjoy and blessings to you dear!

[@anncantlin9710]

I have that mat and I love it.such a pleasure to work with 👍

[@Dina-gf6nk]

You hit the mother load on the mat light box alone 😂😂😂❤❤❤

[@stephver]

Oh I loved your Goodwill videos! ❤

[@wandawalker4191]

You definitely scored!! Congratulations!

[@jannawhitten2473]

Love it! You scored Tracy!

[@mariejohns1387]

Holy cow!! Tracy get in your car and go to Vegas!!! Lolol Girl….you hit the motherload!!!

[@karenolsen6524]

You should be doing a happy dance! What a great haul! Enjoyed your adventure❣️

[@TheSewingChannel]

💃🏻

[@rhondahallet8413]

ConGrats on your Goodwill shopping finds!

[@cheriwilliams7001]

That is a steal!!! Wow, !

[@doxipups2]

That was a real sewing machine that takes batteries. The plastic engagement around the needle keeps you little kids fingers from being pierced. My daughter had one and now I need to see if we kept it!

[@dawnlund1104]

Score!!! Good job!!!

[@conniekline9881]

What an incredible find, congratulations!

[@PatriciaStephens-ou9hf]

My local quilt store has taught a class on making your own fabric with stamps, and that sounds intriguing to me. I have also used plastic canvas as a purse bottom. I think you could use it to make quilt/fabric boxes as well. I use coloring books as patterns for applique, and for free-motion quilting motifs. Wow, I wish my Goodwill had all this good stuff!

[@sueellenwhite9854]

Keep the light box! I have one. Like the slanted top & plastic top has a slight static charge that helps hold paper patterns to it!

[@rachelqstitches]

What an awesome find.

[@ladonnakoenig4915]

I used to make those bed dolls for my daughter in the late 80’s.

[@TGBTGAlways]

You hit the lottery!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
