Best quilting notion/gadget you can't live without

i have wanted the press foot lever for the knee but after reading this i would probably wind up in traction

My HV Designers have presser feet that automatically raise just a bit when you stop stitching (a feature that can be turned off, if needed). I LOVE this feature - especially when I need to pivot.

m&m's are forbidden! I'm in the process of losing weight, can't put myself at risk. I'm not much of a chocolate girl, but if it comes from a bakery, I'll have traction marks getting in the door first! LOL

M & Ms every night is because I sleep walk and if I have them next to me I sometimes stay in bed. A long boring story.

I hav been unavailable ladies and just checked the mail. The Universal Presser foot lifter attatches to you sewing machine's presser foot, by a cable and ran by a foot pedal. It has a platform for your sewing machine pedal to be postitioned next to the presser foot lifter pedal.
I found it at a quilt store on-line and it is patented by j.i.m. enterprises..... WELL WORTH THE &50.00!!!!

My favorite notion , except the usual, is a little piece of rubber shelf liner. I put it under the foot pedal and serger pedal to keep them from moving. I can't afford the ones they sell in the store and it works. I can sew all day and not worry about it moving.

I have very few quilting gadgets, just a regular sewing machine, a kitchen table, and obviously a cutting mat, rotary cutter and ruler, but... one thing that I couldn't live without is my 505 basting spray!!!

tweezers and lint roller (the sticky kind) for taking out the 'unsew' threads S

One of my most necessary and favorite "gadgets" is my stilleto. With arthritis hands my fingers are very stiff (a couple of them don't bend any more) I use a stilleto to guide my material.It' been a lifesaver for me.
