I use the plastic cutting boards for making templates, from dollar tree

After ripping seams I use a dollar store lint roller to remove threads. Saw that hint on TikTok and as a new quilter I can confirm it works😂

I really appreciated that you got to the point immediately instead of a big long introduction. Thanks for all of your ideas.

A great dollar store find is the Teflon pot scrubber (2 in a pkg) which I use for removing pet hair on quilts, quilt blocks, couches, bedding, car seats, etc! Also good to use on cutting mats to remove threads or batting bits after cutting batting!

These are some good ideas, Kim, thanks. And it was a two-for-one, since that cat was just as entertaining as the new ideas were thought-provoking.

OMG your cute little kitty is so sweet and interested in everything you're doing! That tail flick! I'm melting from cuteness overexposure! I love how cats just love being in the middle of all your business 🥰

I buy the foam toe separators used for painting nails as bobbin storage (even though I get funny looks sometimes). Four bobbins will fit in each foam. If the bobbins are threaded they will not unravel and I can sort them however I want. For a very large project I can wind off 4 bobbins plus one in the machine and have them right where I need them. The foams fit neatly into a plastic box with a lid so they can be out away and I can see all the colours at once.

I throw the flannel backed tablecloth on my king sized bed and fold it over when its time for bed. As for those bobbin boxes, much cheaper than what you get in the fabric stores….great idea. Thank you!

Just introduced to your channel! I use cheap zip top bags to hold projects. Like my hexies are by color/flowers, another project has the cut pieces in individual bags and so on. Since they’re cheap, they don’t seal as tight, so the fabric still has airflow. But never seen a house panther at the Dollar Store - good find!
