My favorite craft gadget is my Cuttle Bug Die Cut Machine. Made all the flowers for my daughters wedding.
My new favorite gadget is the Snap Hoop for machine embroidering.
I also consider the Tip Junkie a favorite craft gadget since my “to do” list has grown, exponentially!
I would get a lot of use out of this with my 18-month old daughter.
my most used gadget would be my set of Kai fabric scissors!
Owning a Bias Tape Maker would be a dream come true. Thank you for ALL of your helpful How-To’s…I can’t imagine the time you unselfishly give to others.
my new favorite gadget is my cutting mat!!
It’s a tie between my hot glue gun and my 20 year old Bernina. But if i had a bias tape maker, it would top the list for sure!
Would LOVE to win this since we just got our first sewing machine (*gasp*). My favorite crafting item is the cricut- so versatile!

this is awesome! My current favorite craft gadget (that I don’t own yet) is the silhouette. This rad bias tape maker definitely has the potential to be my favorite sewing gadget, though!
I also tweeted about this as @carissa_marie
I just started sewing {again}, so I don’t know what my favorite gadget is {yet}. I do know that a bias tape maker would be on the list if I had one!
Well I want to buy a Silhouette machine and turn it into my most favorite crafting gadget!
My favorite gadget is my cricut machine! of course with my design software! I also couldn’t live without my mod podge or my Xacto knife!
I don’t know if a sewing machine counts as a “gadget” but I have recently learned how to sew and am having so much fun making things…so a bias maker would come in very handy
I LOVE my Cricut and sewing machine
Wow the bias tape maker looks pretty genius! How cool would it be to win one?!?!?! I would have to say my favorite gadget right now would have to be my ruffler foot! I just got it and honestly have no idea how I ever ruffled without it!

awww man I want a ruffler foot for my machine soooooo bad!!! You’re so lucky!!
Right now I love using the SCAL 2 with the cricut, I have been using it to create one of a kind cards
I don’t know what they’re called, but I have these long “hooks” (almost like a crochet hook but longer and skinnier) that assist in turning fabric such as ties for an apron. It has made my (sewing) life much easier!
New to sewing but I have to say my fave gadget is my paper cutter. Cant go a day with out it.
I just recently started sewing so I haven’t acquired many gadgets yet, So far I’d have to say the rotary cutter.
love your site!!
I love my large cutting mat…..indispensible

I am in love with my sewing machine at the moment! It’s been my crafting tool of choice lately!
I tweeted the giveaway!
I’m loving my sewing machine! I’m a beginner quilter and would love to have this!
My favorite gadgets are my hands, so they help me to use all the other gadgets….I just love crafting
I’d have to say my favorite gadget is my Cricut and then my sewing machine.
My Cricut Expressions! Love it!!! Although this bias tape maker would be heavenly!!!
What fun! My favorite cutting instrument is my Olfa rotary cutter – I cut paper and fabric with it and my millions of rulers (Ok, I’m exaggerating. But only a little bit. I have thousands of rulers. Well, maybe 25 or so.) When I was a child, I never imagined I would grow up to have and love my wall o’rulers. I also love my Gingher scissors that used to be my mom’s. Thanks for the fun giveaway!
I love my cuttlebug to emboss not only paper, but vinyl and metal!
May not be very “cool” but my glue gun – it does soooo much!
Well, this might sound silly, but my 1969 Touch and Sew Singer Sewing Machine and Drop In Desk are my absolute favorite!! I just love my vintage machine, and it sews like a dream! Plus it’s “sew” fun! Hehe
My favorite crafting gadget is my Silhouette SD!!

My favorite crafting gadget…Right now my little hot glue gun!
I am such a beginner, I would have to say my “un picker” and my Iron (for making my own bias tape). I must say your site has inspired me to do more and learn more, finding sewing to be an absolute passion! much love to u all
