    Question What is your favorite sewing tool?

    Mine has got to be a very expensive pair of scissors I purchased years ago. That and my iron. Makes a huge difference in the items I sew.

    Good question CJ!

    I would be lost without my razor sharp scissors, iron, pins and tape measure. If I have just these 4 items, I can sew just about anything.

    I love really good quality needles and I must have my very small scissors for cutting thread.

    Darlene, my Seam ripper and I are very close too!

    My tape measure, self healing mats, rotary cutter and rulers make my life so much easier! I also can't live without my trim scissors (for clipping all of those threads).

    Seems that me and the seam ripper spend lots of quality time together. I also love my mat and rotary cutter.

    My fav hands down is my serger. I can't believe how much faster sewing goes with that. And of course my seam ripper.

    So as you sew, so shall your rip!

    My favorite is the electric scissors that I have had forever. They keep working and I couldn't sew without them.
