Mustache trimmer for seam ripping! It never cuts the fabric, only the threads.

Graph paper for sketching out the latest idea swirling in my head!

I guess today I'd have to say my walking foot. I'm in the middle of quilting a twin-sized quilt and it's going so smooth. I'm not good at all at free motion quilting (maybe I just need practice) and I can't hand-quilt all of the tops I have, so I see it as a way to actually get more of these done.

Hera marker for marking straight quilting lines.

Spray sizing! I won't piece without it. Well, only if I'm in a block exchange and one of the members is allergic.

I have two. I have had them since I started quilting.
My June Tailor's Quilter's Cut and Press board that I take to classes and the June Tailor's Short Cut ruler that makes it easy for me to cut strips accurately.

My rotary cutter, without a doubt.

OOh...I definitely have to say the little gadget that you use to close safety pins. It's called Quick Klip and you can get it at JoAnn's. Definitely worth the seven dollar investment for no more sore fingers!

Without a doubt, my most useful tool has to be the Internet! It allows me to see what's going on in the quilting world, search for fabrics and tools, explore new techniques, talk to quilters from all over the world, check out quilt blocks I haven't used before, and a thousand other things that would not otherwise be possible up here in the north woods. I can't imagine quilting without it!

June Taylor Shape Cut Plus. I can accurately cut strips and squares without any wonkyness! And at half the time! --Amy
