Iwould need my iron, my scissors and my little 6" hem guage. But can I also take my sewing machine and my fabric stash?
I would need my rotary cutter and my cutting mat. Of course a good ruler. The list goes on.
Hmmm only three? My perfect scissors, Rowenta steam generator and sharp rotary blades for starters. And anything else I can stow away. =)
I'd need my rotary cutter and my trusty Clover seam ripper. Both such useful gadgets while on a deserted island!
I'm with Joanna regarding chocolate being a must! Also, I'd take my rotary cutter with which I could build a little hut and cut down some fruit to eat, all the while dreaming of my next quilting project!
I have just become dependent on my sandpaper design board. Working on my hexies!
All around survival tools - rotary cutter, quilting thread (its strong!) and sewing needles.
Mostly I am stunned at Paco. Not sure what I can say about him exactly. Let's just say he is a bit lees clothed than the Paco I had imagined!thanks ladies!Joanna
I'd have to defend myself with my seam ripper, but I might be willing to sacrifice my Gingher scissors to cut down coconuts and build a shelter.
I would need a ruler, seam ripper and good scissors/rotary cutter for cutting of the material. And who can forget patterns to create something different.
I would take my clover seam ripper. I could cut the palm leaves in a straight line to make a cute little hula skirt !!!! LOL just kidding! :)
I would have to take my seam ripper since it is my 'faithful friend' that is in constant use. (I actually keep an extra in my purse for taking off tags after a purchase, etc.),I would also need my needles, thread, scissors and fabric scraps for hand sewing
I would need a seam ripper. It could be used for so many things.
I wouldn't need a seam ripper, I'd have to have at least 6 of them cos I keep loosing them. Another favorite notion is a small Fiskers scissors. I love it to trim threads. I'd also like the cabana boy to bring the good chocolate and someone to massage my neck and fan me with palm leaves. I don't need much!!
You ladies crack me up and I wouldn't mind being stranded with any of you....loL! Mainly, I would need 1. Wonder Clips...love them, 2. My six and half inch ruler (that half inch comes in handy!), 3. My rotary cutter and mat...what did we ever do without them??? A nice week or two of uninterrupted sewing could help me finish the two quilts I'm working on....loL!
I have a small Gingher scissor for clipping threads and my Clover white-handle ripper is a multi-purpose tool for me. Those two items are always within reach.
Those pictures were way too funny. I cannot live without my clover threader. If I could afford it I would get one for every room I stitch in.
Always have a seam ripper by my sewing machine. I'm not sure what the Little House Pins are. Am I missing something? [email protected]
I would have to take thread, needles and scissors, because you never know when you have to cut and sew some fig leaves :-)
I cannot imagine my life without my sewing machine feet! They make short work of whatever project I'm working on.
I would take my Clover metal open-back adjustable thimble for hours and hours of quilting because it looks like Paco and Gnomey would be waiting on me hand and foot.
I would need my Gingher Scissors for self defense and to flash the sun off for SOS signals, my seam ripper to eat fruit and catch fish, and my dreamworld sewing table it has many uses including making it easier for me to sew. I will be 49 in a few weeks and could really use a needle threader! Love all patterns. If I have power and a machine on the island I would then have everything I needed to sew and I love gnomes, we would have a blast!
I would have to bring clover needle threader, my pin cushion (all primed and ready to go with needles and pins) and current favorite gadget is my binding tool (I would rent it out for the cost of a fat 1/4), that should see me sorted until dinner time.
Wow, all the above comments are a riot! Me and my Olfa rotary cutter, mat and 16" square ruler and I am on my way. Thanks for the giveaway. Ahoy mate. Smiles, Emilou ;-)
My Gingher thread snips are my latest love. My mini screw driver for changing feet and needles. I have a love/hate relationship with my seam ripper but I wouldn't want to be stranded without it.
I couldn't survive without All of my sewing notions because I couldn't survive if i couldn't sew things. I do have a favorite thimble. Thanks for a chance at a great giveaway. Love Joanna :) and all things fig tree. janita
Seeing as Everyone has already taken a rotary cutter and cutting mat I am going to take something else so I can share and swap I would take my boxes of DMC Stranded Cotton & my embroidery scissors and needles. I hope Gene is good at hunting and gathering - seems he will have a whole lot of us girls to look after :)
I'd need my rotary cutter and mat, plus my gingher snips. I think also my good glass head pins.
If I were stranded on the island, I would definitely need my little notebook and a pencil, in addition to my Clover seam ripper, Gingher scissors and lots of pretty Aurefil thread. Not only do I need it to make sure I measure right, but I would want to write down all the pearls of wisdom that I would glean from the many brilliant quilters with me. Besides, it will help start a nice bonfire in the evenings to sit around and chat by while we sing "kum-ba-ya" and toast marshmallows to go with all that great chocolate!
oooh. good sharp pins... a really steamy... iron. what did you think i was gonna say? *smh and grinning*rotary cutter and rulers...iced tea. lots and lots of iced tea. I don't eat when I sew--too afraid to muss the fabric.... but i do go thru a LOT of unsweetened iced tea.[email protected]
