I’m always looking for handy dandy quilting and sewing gadgets that make life easier. I don’t necessarily invest in them all, but share ideas with others and like to hear what they’ve found, too.

Here are 13 that seem interesting:
- Yo-yo maker
- Mini quilt display stands (shaped like room dividers)
- Needle sharpener
- Compact travel sewing machine
- Seam ripper and thread cutter combined
- Pre-wound bobbins
- Buttonhole spacers
- Bendable sewing machine mini light
- Sharpener for rotary cutter blades
- Lazy Susan spinning carousel for holding thread
- Wax pastels for enhancing landscape quilts
- Rotary cutters to prepare fabric for hand stitching
- Easel caddy for sewing/quilting tools
What are some of your favorite tools and gadgets?
I am a newbie at sewing. I’ve never heard of a needle sharpener until today.
This sounds like an interesting thing. I’d love to get a hold of pre-wound bobbins locally. I should ask around. Thanks for the info!
