1 – 200 of 217 Newer› Newest»Without a doubt, it is my rotary cutter. I have been quilting so long that I remember when rotary cutters first became available. What a revolution! No more cutting with scissors and templates. Thanks for the giveaway.
Great fabric bundle! I guess I love all of the different rulers.... a shape for everything.... a perfect length for whatever you are cutting, etc. Thanks so much for the great giveaway!

I can not live without my rotary cutter, that's for sure!
A great color combination of red, black and white; thanks for the giveaway!
Well thank you for this chance....I would not get by without my rotary cutter; I just use it for everything.
But there are a number of items I wouldn't want to be without!! I love the colors you chose.
In addition to the usual sewing notions I can't sew/live without my reading glasses! My over-40 eyes just aren't what they used to be!
WOW!!! there's so many I couldn't even begin to give you my favorite one.....I guess if you call this a sewing notion I would go with all the wonderful tutorials that is out here on the internet.. and the great and new ideas...thanks so much for the great give aways.....;o)
I wouldn't be happy without my Creative Grids rulers. They definitely make my cutting so much easier. Thanks for the chance to win.
I am in the same sewing boat as Lisa Marie, but what I could not do without is my pointy tweezers. They sure help my fat fingers line up my pieces square to sew those seams. And the help me when it comes time to do some unsewing, too!
I absolutely need my Machingers for free motion quilting. A close second would be a tiny scissors for snipping those errant threads.
My ergonomic Olfa rotary cutter - the best thing ever. Thanks.
I love my rotary cutter! It is so hard to just choose one favorite!
Hmm. Besides my rotary cutter and creative grids ruler, I really love my rag quilt shears. If you've ever made a rag quilt or anything like it, you will love this. Makes the whole process as easy as cutting through butter. :)
I would have to say my assortment of rulers.
syvisser@gmail(dot)com
Lovely giveaway - thanks for the chance! Aside from my rotary cutter, I've been using my 6.5" QID half square triangle square-up ruler A LOT lately.
Mmmm hadn't thought about my glasses! But that's for everything, computer, reading, sewing, etc. Thank heavens for rotary cutters, mats and rulers! My DIL was telling me about a first time quilter who wanted to know if she could use pencil to draw the straight lines on her fabric and then scissor cut all her yardage for a quilt. I could hear Melissa's anguish as she begged the would be quilter to come to her house and she'd show her how to use the rotary cutter. Love straight, accurate cuts. Thanks.
I think my rotary cutter and mat is my favorite, if I had to use scissors - everything would be crooked!

My favorite sewing notion is my rotary cutter. I still remember the days before we had them. Thanks for the great giveaway. The name of this collection is perfect! I love the teapots and the colors.
I got one of those new seam rippers with the eraser top. It works great and I'm loving it! If you don't have one, get one this weekend at support your local quilt shop day or order from here. Best $4 I've spent in a while!

This notion is something I have a love-hate relationship with. Seam Ripper. As much as I don't like messing up, I do. I am so happy for seam ripper because it gives me second-chances (and third, fourth, ...)

My rotary cutter is absolute can't do without. I can't cut a straight line even drawn on fabric. Glad when rotary cutters came out, now my hand doesn't get tired and sore. Thanks for the giveaway.

My favorite sewing notion is my lighted seam ripper. Before I got it, I can't tell you the number of times I accidentally clipped fabric with my thread snips. Having that extra light really helps older eyes, too!
Thank you for the nice giveaway. That fabric is really cute! :)
My favorite notion is definitely Clover wonder clips for binding. They make it so much easier and I love not getting stabbed with pins.
Thanks!
My favorite sewing notion is washable glue with a fine tip! Great for matching seams or basting binding
Like so many others, my rotary cutter and rulers!
Ha! Easy! My seam ripper!! Mine is old and beat up and could probably be sharper, but we've been through a lot together and I can't imagine ever giving her up.
Seam ripper hands-down!
I could not live without my seam ripper. Don't just use it for ripping out seams, but as a third finger when piecing fabric.
My seam ripper is my friend...
I love my rotary cutter! I'd be lost without it!
I would have to say it's my rotary cutter although my seam ripper is a close second.

Awesome giveaway. I would not be quilting if I did not have a rotary cutter.It was the greatest invention.
Number one choice is rotary cutter and number two that I find that I'm liking and using a lot is my new stiletto.
Just love my super pointy tweezers!! Craftdee5@ yahoo.com
My rotary cutter and cutting mat----a royal team. Made my first quilts back in high school---waaaaay back in high school. No rotary cutters back then----cardboard, pencil, and scissors.
I posted on my Facebook "fabrics" board
I love my little snips. They are the Fiskars 5-Inch Spring Action scissors. I have about 4 pair. One for my sewing machine, crochet, long-arm and my bag that I take hand quilting stuff in. I love them so much.
I can do "without" most of the things they have today since I started sewing/quilting 50 years ago and all we had was thin straight pins, scissors and a ruler! We are all so spoiled today! But it is happily spoiled! I t hink back and can't believe I did what I did with what little I had to do it with! But I'd have to say my most favorite thing that I dont' want to have to think about living without is my rotary cutter and templates. Talk about a time saver!
I love my rotary cutter; couldn't quilt without it! Thanks for the giveaway. I love the black, white and red combo.
k.castanette@hotmail.com
Definitely my rotary cutter. Thanks for the giveaway!
Couldn't sew without a rotary cutter and rulers. I'd never t be able to cut a straight line with a pair of scissors.
It would have to be my seam ripper. There is not one project I've done that the ripper hasn't been used!
Would have to be my rotary cutter! Seam ripper is a close second.

I am a very impaitient sewer, so my rotary cutter and mat are my coveted quilting notion! I could not imagine using scissors definitely would not be quilting... Thanks for a such a fantastic and generous giveaway.
Just shared your giveaway on FB!
I have a pair of tiny scissors shaped like a stork that I use at the sewing machine to clip my threads. If I ever have to rip apart a seam, I use them to do that - and when I have to trim a piece of fabric while I am sewing, they are busy too. They are also my "go to" scissors for hand embroidery.
I would say my seam ripper.
thanks for the chance, what a lovely bundle! My newest notion I can not live without is a new little cutting mat (I know its more a tool than a notion but it has to count cause it rocks!) that rotates! I am completely smitten <3
My walking foot! Thanks!
Judging by how much I use it, my favorite tool must be my seam ripper! LOL I have lots of little tools I love, but I think my 4" scissors are my most favorite!

This could be a duplicate or my previous comment is floating around in Never Never Land. I love all my tools ... my tiny sharp embroidery scissors are used soooo much but I love my rotary cutters and rulers!! Used my Ginghers so long when making my girls dressers and boy's shirts that they are always a standby. Thanks for the great giveaway! Love the colors and prints on all your combos, as usual!
I would be lost without my rotary cutter and rulers. The greatest!
My rotary cutter and seam ripper.
My seam ripper, I wish I didn't ave to use it o often
My most favorite is The Gypsy Gizmo...a must if you are chain piecing. kerick369@aol.com
Sadly, the one I could not live without is my unpicker. It's a lucky sewing day when I don't need to use it!
I love my seam ripper. ;P

I love my rotary cutter, I still have some church quilters that still like cutting with scissors.
I will not sew a stitch without my vintage sugar bowl filled with pins by my side that and a tall glass of tea! :)
I love my mini scisors :)
For sure my rotary cutter. Can you imagine how much longer cutting all those fabric pieces would take without that notion...yikes!
I love my .25" foot, it was one of the best investments I made. I'm much more accurate now!

I would have to say a seam ripper.
Unfortunately, it's probably my seam ripper! my tube turner does come a close second though!
Looks like the most popular is the rotary cutter and I have to agree, with a mat. And I love my mat that turns like a lazy susan. thanks for the opportunity to win!

Rotary cutter, an excellent pair of scissors or my walking foot...? I couldn't live without all of them!

Seam ripper and rotary cutter. I couldn't live without them--ironically they're the two that I'm also always looking for because I can't remember where I put them down.
My favorite ......Rotary cutter!!!
Porcupine Quill that I use like a stiletto o help keep seams equal when sewing.
I love the quarter inch foot. I could never keep my stitches at quarter inch and then one of my bff's gave me a quarter inch foot and now I couldn't sew without it!! Thanks for the give away!! I sure would love to win...

I love Elmer's washable glue. Other than the "stuff" needed for quilting, that is the one notion that I would certainly miss!
I couldn't do it without my rotary cutters!
My rotary cutter is essential, love it. Also love any combination of black, white and red fabric. So classic!
Will share on Facebook .
My Fiskar scissors that have flat cushioned handles that I don't have to shove my fingers in and get stuck are very sharp and spring back open. Love them. Cindy
I love my Quilter's Magic Wand! Thanks for the chance to win!

I couldn't make it without my seam ripper! What does that say about my sewing?
Hate to admit it, but it would be my seam ripper!
Ooops forgot to include my email. Seam ripper anonymous is mahark50@gmail.com
I have several favorite notions. One is my O'lipfa ruler to use when cutting all those strips for ruffled dresses, and don't even mention my 'thing' for scissors. I love a good pair of scissors, almost any size, as long a they are left-handed! My favorite notion lately is a new SeamFix seam ripper with rubber ends. They work great for machine embroidery!
So many to choose from, but a good pair of scissors is tops. From there the list goes on and on. Thanks for a chance to win a great giveaway.
Maybe it's not a notion, but I have to have my drink holder that attaches to my sewing table! mjgoza@yahoo.com

There are so many important tools that make quilting easier and quicker, I have to say that the rotary cutter is my favorite! Catherine.koss@uticak12.org
Rotary cutter, of course, but I also LOVE my Clove Desktop Needle Threader, and I must have my seam ripper handy at all times!
My seam ripper is the best for me. I think I use it in every project I make!!
Rotary cutter with a new blade. I don't replace the blades nearly enough!
Love my 12" x 1" ruler :)
I love that rotary cutter and sharp blades.... lost mine for 2 days one time and really appreciated it!

My favorite notion would have to be my ages old seam ripper since I do a lot of hand piecing and appliquing; otherwise, I would have to say a rotary cutter with a fresh blade inserted so it cuts like butter.
I couldn't do without a rotary cutter then second is the basting spray! I posted to Facebook, Twitter, and Google. Thanks for a chance! :)

Couldn't quilt without my Rotary Cutter. Changed recently to a 28mm ergonomic, from a 45mm straight, and love it! Don't use the old one any more. I'm collecting black and whites at the moment,so this bundle would be nice to win . Cheers from Australia
What did we ever do without our rotary cutters? They have been such a boon to quilting with their ease of use and accuracy. Thanks for the great give away!
A leather thimble I have had for years. Simply could not bind my quilts without it!
I am planning a grey and pink quilt. How cool could this bundle fit in as accents!
