I’ve done programs for local guilds on this topic. The dollar store and big box hardware stores are also good sources for quilting tools like: - masking tape - small tape measure with clip to carry in my purse - utility knife
I love it!!!! I’ve already gone to HF to get a few supplies. Something else that would be great to get is the magnetic bar. I have this on a counter front next to my table. I throw my scissors, pins, and anything else that will stick on it while I’m sewing.
Yes I have heard this, II need to grab some and try to sharpen some pins. My pins are about as sharp as butter knives lol. The little strawberry that's attached to the tomato pincushions are for sharpening needles, but for some reason I always loose mine 🙃
I have two of the suction handles that I use with my rulers. I got them at Goodwill for $2.99. If you buy them at a quilt shop, you'd be looking at $20.00. I also use the magnetic bowl for my pins. Just found your videos ... thank you!
I have the drywall up and painted, and the wood stained and sealed, but I am taking a break from renovating so I can do some sewing. I'll start it back up this fall/winter when the weather turns, or if I get a minute when I have nothing else going on
Magnetic bowls for the win!! We have like 20 in our studio. 😂

If I missed your favorite sewing notion from Harbor Freight drop it in the comments!
Thanks!
Thank you!
Fyi...the magnetic pin holder will magnetize forever all the pins, and your scissors, too.
They sell a demagnetizer thing too. Might be useful even without that particular holder
Thank you
I read somewhere that you can use steel wool to sharpen your pins and needles instead of buying new ones. Has anyone else tried this?

What a great deal! Super jealous of that one!!!
How is the renovation going? Thanks for sharing

If you have a computerized sewing machine, keep all magnets far away to prevent damage to the components!
Thank you for the reminder! 💕
