Favourite Sewing Tool

What sewing tool (other than your machine) have you loved this year? I've just started using a french curve ruler and it's been a game changer!

I've not yet made any garments despite having many patterns and fabric ready to go. I do make bags and I wouldn't be without my quilting rulers, cutting mat & roller cutter, which I class as one tool 😀

Hehe, they are great tools! What's holding you back from having a go at sewing a garment?

Haley, I also love my French Curve ruler it is so awesome and helpful. I also love my wonder clips! They are so helpful and easy to pop on and off.

I struggle to get on with wonder clips, although I can see them being really useful for thicker fabrics!

My magnifying seam ripper is my favourite. I also love my patternmaster for drafting and altering patterns.

I bought it at the Festival of Quilts last year. It has a light too.

My seam roller often saves me getting out the iron. It's a nifty little thing.

The most useful sewing tool is my cutting table, made from IKEA Kallax units by my amazingly talented son
