Thank you for sharing! I absolutely love your glow and spirit! Every time I see that you upload a new video, I get so happy! Your presence alone will uplift anyone. You shine so bright. God bless you and your family. I’m not alone with collecting rotary cutters……I have a ton as well lol.
I use just about every item you shared. FYI - I also made my own 12" square clappers. Just buy a piece of hard wood (like oak. I bought a 12" wide oak shelf) and ask the salesman to cut the wood down to size. they'll do it for free. I got 2 - 12" square pcs from one shelf for just a few bucks and it works great. I can fit several pcs under each or an entire block. Thanks for sharing!
Your suggestions are spot on! I make my own quilt labels. I incorporate a triangle in the corner of my quilt and sew it into the binding. Keep doing your videos, love them! 🩷
I got into quilting when I rediscovered your channel last year (found you originally with homeschooling videos years and years ago but no longer homeschool). Have gotten everything you recommend including your planner, which I love. Thanks for great videos!
Hi Erica! Another great video! I am a HUGE fan of the Oliso irons and clappers. My husband has made me several clappers and they are a game changer. Also, the cluck cluck tape; worth its weight in gold! Thanks for sharing and giving us a glimpse into your sewing room!
Thank you for sharing. I am new to sewing and it is so helpful to know what supplies seasoned crafters like yourself use. I love your pumpkins and trucks of the month. Thank you again.
Yep, the Juki is one amazing machine, I had the one without speed control, it broke and parts were not available, I was upset until I updated with speed control. I got used to the first machine and didn't really need to slow down. Rulers do get pricey. Don't have the Tula scissors, but I did buy a pair of 10" ginger dressmaker shears and they are absolutely amazing, for serious cutting of fabrics, they are heavy but if you want "over the top" go for them! I also got a pair of Guggenheim scissors that I really like, there were so great prices online but I had already paid $80 for first pair, very excellent quality. Alpha bitties are a real help! think FQS came out with number-bitties! Your channel is so inspiring and entertaining!
I got your quilt planner and am going to be using it on my iPad to track my quilting, especially since I am new to quilting and want to make sure I keep track of everything. Thanks so much for your videos. ❤
Thanks for all the great info. I love the Cluck Cluck Sew tape as well. No more drawing lines! Funny, I said the same things about the "blocks of wood". Who doesn't love Wonder Clips, especially for those of us with cat supervisors. And your blooper answers my question about the Lori Holt jars being breakable or not. haha
I just recently bought a bobbin boat and some of the pegs to match bobbins to thread when I put the thread back up on the rack. I love it, it's so much easier than opening a bobbin box and the boat keeps the thread on the spool.
Hi Erica, I retired and have watched many videos this past year to start my sewing room. I have fallen in love with you and sewing. I watch you daily . I bought the Big mat and LOVE it. Also, I bought cheep rulers and now I realize I need the creative rulers. So buying them today. Thanks for your great guidance.
Loved your comments on the tools. I have a granddaughter who sews and designs costumes and I am thinking of doings a Christmas stocking of sewing tools for her. The rulers and scissors and many thing will fit in her sewing basket. So many good ideas for her and me I am a quilter and have most of everything you showed,but will print the the planner for both of us. Thanks you for you energy and joy you put into you channel. I have never written to you before but watched many times.
Thank you for your review of items. I have alot of the same notions so i know i am buying the right stuff. I live in Canada so importing from the US is expensive so it is good to have advice. Thanks again.
Loved this video! It was very helpful for me as I am a beginner. I’ve been overwhelmed by what’s available and what I actually need. Thank you for this information! 😊
The lettering A.B. C etc. idea to keep same size quilt pieces together. Gosh that would be so helpful on this log cabin quilt I am making. Good video, Thanks,G
Such an informative video thank you for sharing this,thank you for your honesty about each product as a beginner it can become overwhelming with which items are needed which ones are “nice to have”
Erica, another wonderful and informative video. I like the description and suggestions for using your planner. So many great tools for gift giving ideas Thank you!
Hey Erica! 😊 I JUST got my first clapper. I was of the same mind that you were..what the heck could be a reason to have one?! But boy do I love mine!!!! 🎉
Thank you for sharing all of these wonderful things. T think I just might need some of these. I do have some of them but you put a bug in me for getting more. Great tutorial, thank you so much.
I also love the Omnigrid scissors from FQS. I use Lori Holt rubber tips on mine to make sure I don’t have any accidents with them. You’re right, they are very sharp... I use spreadsheets for documenting my projects, and also keep track of what I stitch daily in the Book of Days planner… Nice update!
I love your bloopers 😂. I usually take pictures and file the picture in a folder labeled quilt projects. I’ve gifted many baby quilts and probably should have kept some kind of record. Thank you for your videos, I have a lot of the items you mentioned because of your tutorials.
Oh my goodness you crack me up. ‘That’s stupid, it’s a chunk of wood’ 🤣🤣. I love your channel and all social media outlets. Such great videos and inspiration. Thank you for sharing. Btw….I’ve ordered a few of these things after your great reviews. They were on my list of ‘to get’ already but hadn’t read any reviews yet. I trust your judgement 😊
I enjoyed seeing all that you have and have several things on my wish list that I don’t have.-the rose gold pin bowl and would love to order some labels and a quilt tee from sweet water(i saw this in one of your other videos). So much cuteness thanks for sharing
I LOVE my Gingher Scissors so much! All of mine are silver and I have the 8-inch, 7.5-inch pinking, 5-inch, the Duckbill for machine embroidery, and 3.5-inch embroidery. My 8-inch dressmakers are at least 35 years old. I have 10-in dressmakers that I don't use because they were my grandmother's and are super heavy. I love my Oilso Iron (Pink) I never thought about having a non-steam iron and a separate steam iron. I am guilty of leaving water in the tank. I always take a picture of my finished project with all info on the materials used. Thanks, Erica, as always wonderful video!
Love this video! I've learned alot watching your videos and have purchased several of these tools because I've seen yours. The irons, the clappers, the blessed diagonal tape, etc. Wish you would have a contest for someone to come spend a day at your house for a sewing party!
OK , so funny!!! I use all these products!!! I love creative grids rulers and have most of them. Love the clappers! Love the alphabet letters and use them with the clips. I cut out the Vintage Christmas Truck quilt today and used all my letters, so I need to order another set and numbers. Mary Ellens is awesome!!! I buy it by the gallon and have several spray bottles I keep filled. LOVE my Juki 2000QI , so I really enjoyed your favorite things. I think the only thing I don't have are the labels.
Hi Erica! I love all your suggestions. I will definitely be trying some them. I think your project planner will be my first. I’ve been looking for something like this for a while . I like that I can track of all my crafts in one place! Mary Ellen’s best press will be added next timeI order on line. Thanks for sharing!!
Always enjoy seeing the things others use in crafting. You mentioned sometimes taking photos of projects and printing for the planner. I use a small Canon Ivy mini printer. It prints small approximately 2 x 3 inch photos as stickers right from your phone or tablet. I believe Polaroid has a similar product. I got mine on Amazon.
I have your machine also! I sew all my squares. I quilt on a Bernina with the special foot for rulers. I use every thing else. I bout two lefty rulers. The others I had to turn them over, more difficult for lefty’s. Thank you!!
Thank you for sharing! I bought a Juki about 5 or so years ago like yours (I think 1 step up). It is the best machine I have ever used. I saw your video about it and went for it and just love it so much!!
I love that you did this video.. I use a lot of the same things. But you always give me new ideas. I love all of you videos and vlogmas also!! I don’t use a planner but I think that is a great idea. I always take pictures of my projects.
So many great tools/supplies! I have many of the same ones. I have a juki 2010 that I got (I think off Amazon) about 4 years ago but I think they were having a sale and I got mine for $100 less than they were at the time. I love mine too. I keep my speed on halfway because it SEWS!! I can't really control that speed like some people. It's not a race (for me) and I'm satisfied with that speed.
Erica thanks so much! I always trust your reviews, I love that you show how you use them. Hardly anybody actually shows how things work. I have never seen anyone who actually described how to use a clapper and why. So kudos to you chickadee!!!! Thank you again and I can’t wait until your next video! Oh and I love your bloopers! It makes me so happy that I am not the only one who drops alphabitties everywhere. I started using them because of one of your videos and I LOVE them! They keep me so organized. I usually cut a quilt after I start sewing a quilt top so it will be ready to go, especially like now when I am trying to get all the things done for Christmas gifts. So I use ziploc bags and include in the bag a piece of paper with size of piece, color if I need to, what step in the pattern etc. and what pattern it goes with. Then I put the corresponding alphabittie for that piece goes in the bag also. When I am ready to sew I can just take a and sew to b or however the pattern says and pat myself on the back! Haha!
35:14 Erica: You can find the design name for Ginger Designers scissors etched on the scissors themselves near the screw on handles. Most have this with a few that do not. Hopes this helps! Loved your video.
Love my Creative Grids rulers. 6.5x24 is my favorite too. I do love my Quilter’s Select rulers too. My other favorite trimming rulers are the Bloc Loc set.
Erica, I got another message from someone say they were you and it was on my comment about taylors clappers. I blocked them and reported it to Instagram
Sew 🧵 much fun 👏 I was making my list and found that The link on the gloves says “page not found”. Thought I should let you know. Thank you for sharing 👍👍 Stay safe healthy and happy 🧵✝️🇺🇸
Wow !!! What a wonderful video!!!! I don't quilt but I found your suggestions very enlightening !! There are several items that I will be purchasing!!! Thank you for a very informative video!!!
Erica, I bought the same Juki tl2000q a few years ago. It makes sewing such a wonderful pleasure. Sometimes when I am sewing I will just yell out. “I love this machine”. I really like how well thought out the features are. It makes it so easy to sew. Best Wishes for a wonderfulThanksgiving!
We share a love of favorite things. Mine match up almost exactly to yours. I would add a small trash bin that I keep by my sewing machine. I made it and it’s one of my favorite, little things because I can pitch all the little scraps that I’m not keeping like sew and flipped corners right in the bin next to my machine.
Hi Erica! I absolutely adore watching you and your super sweet family. I get so excited when you have a new video out. All of your video are my favorite! I’m currently making your vintage tree pattern.
Thank you for sharing! I absolutely love your glow and spirit! Every time I see that you upload a new video, I get so happy! Your presence alone will uplift anyone. You shine so bright. God bless you and your family. I’m not alone with collecting rotary cutters……I have a ton as well lol.
Thank you for sharing. I always enjoy your videos and tutorials.
My favorite item you showed was the iron. (I'm going downstairs now to empty the water from my iron that I used this morning!)
I really like the way you share , I really feel like you tell it like it is. Thank you
Thanks! Time to get more notions!! Love the bloopers!
I use just about every item you shared. FYI - I also made my own 12" square clappers. Just buy a piece of hard wood (like oak.

Hi pretty lady. How are you doing today??
Your suggestions are spot on! I make my own quilt labels. I incorporate a triangle in the corner of my quilt and sew it into the binding. Keep doing your videos, love them! 🩷
I like the cutting mat and diagonal sewing tape!!! 😊
I got into quilting when I rediscovered your channel last year (found you originally with homeschooling videos years and years ago but no longer homeschool). Have gotten everything you recommend including your planner, which I love. Thanks for great videos!
I love that the size of the rotary blade is printed right on the rotary cutter.
Hi Erica! Another great video! I am a HUGE fan of the Oliso irons and clappers. My husband has made me several clappers and they are a game changer. Also, the cluck cluck tape; worth its weight in gold! Thanks for sharing and giving us a glimpse into your sewing room!
Wow, loved your video today! The end was cute and dang, the cat! What a character he is😉
Thank you for sharing. I am new to sewing and it is so helpful to know what supplies seasoned crafters like yourself use. I love your pumpkins and trucks of the month. Thank you again.

I have a Big Mat as well. I love mine.
Very useful video! Love your idea about the bobbin boat and cleaning your machine, I'm stealing that one!!!
Great video Erica! I learned a few new important tips from you as usual! Thank you dear!!
I got your quilt planner and am going to be using it on my iPad to track my quilting, especially since I am new to quilting and want to make sure I keep track of everything. Thanks so much for your videos. ❤
Thanks for sharing! I thought the same thing about the clappers and now have 5, and LOVE how flat they leave my blocks!
I love all your videos, you are a ray of sunshine! Thank you for this one ❤
Thanks for all the great info. I love the Cluck Cluck Sew tape as well. No more drawing lines! Funny, I said the same things about the "blocks of wood".

I wasn’t able to find them?
Thank you so much Erica!! From Chile 🇨🇱👏👏👏
Hey Erica! 😊 I JUST got my first clapper. I was of the same mind that you were..what the heck could be a reason to have one?! But boy do I love mine!!!! 🎉
Love it..keep your stuff coming..
Love clappers…. They are a must for flat seams and helps me square up my blocks. Enjoyed your video..
Thank you for sharing all of these wonderful things. T think I just might need some of these. I do have some of them but you put a bug in me for getting more.
Great tutorial, thank you so much.
Some really good info...the tape and bobbin holder.
I also love the Omnigrid scissors from FQS. I use Lori Holt rubber tips on mine to make sure I don’t have any accidents with them. You’re right, they are very sharp... I use spreadsheets for documenting my projects, and also keep track of what I stitch daily in the Book of Days planner… Nice update!
Enjoyed your showing it was awesome especially if you are in the learning process 😊
The clapper was a surprise for me too! It makes a world of difference in how flat my blocks are.
I love your bloopers 😂. I usually take pictures and file the picture in a folder labeled quilt projects. I’ve gifted many baby quilts and probably should have kept some kind of record. Thank you for your videos, I have a lot of the items you mentioned because of your tutorials.
Thank you for this handy list! I need a new Oliso iron and a clapper in my life! 🤩🤩
You could make your own clapper with a good-size heavy chopping board and a drawer handle to hold it down 🤗
You are so adorable and I love your videos ;-) OMGosh I love the bloopers most at the end!!!
Oh my goodness you crack me up. ‘That’s stupid, it’s a chunk of wood’ 🤣🤣. I love your channel and all social media outlets. Such great videos and inspiration. Thank you for sharing.

I just put Alpha Bitties and a 12.5" square ruler on my Birthday/Christmas list! Your outtakes are the best, Erica! 😆
Thank you for sharing. I am going to try that diagonal seam tape. Have a Blessed Day!
Enjoy all your tips!
WOW! What an awesome list! So many fun things! I do love my Oliso big and small irons for the same reasons.
YOUR NAILS ARE ADORABLE! ❤❤❤
Love your videos!!! You and I agree on the products, we have most of the same. I enjoyed watching the video. Thanks!
Love your videos Erica. Thanks for adding to my shopping list!

Thanks, I'll get that updated amzn.to/3U2WLI5
I just got that mat too, haven’t used it yet as I am moving into a new space which is under construction.
Wow !!! What a wonderful video!!!! I don't quilt but I found your suggestions very enlightening !! There are several items that I will be purchasing!!! Thank you for a very informative video!!!
Great idea
Always love to see your favorites! I want everything after watching your video.
Your bloopers are my favorite also.
Such a great video! Thank you for all of the tips!! I put several in my Amazon n FQS wish lists. 💛😊

I’m also an Odif spray user! Love that it doesn’t stink! I go through it since I free motion on my sit down machine!
Loved the tour!

Love your suggestions! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the review of products! I need a iron all mine are needing to retire. Always enjoy your videos. Thank you!
Great video. I love my Gingher scissors. I have had them for years.
Hi Erica! I absolutely adore watching you and your super sweet family. I get so excited when you have a new video out. All of your video are my favorite! I’m currently making your vintage tree pattern.
I love this video, and I started using a planner and I am thinking to get yours.. thanks ❤️
