I, obviously, don't know enough about notions! These posts are giving me some great ideas! I'd have to have that great Aurifil thread, my favorite rotary cutter, and an iron.

My rotary cutters (medium and small) have become my very best friends! Close behind though is my Size 11 wooden knitting needle that I keep handy to push out crisp points and corners!

well... must have a rotary cutter and mat, a fasturn kit for any tube turning, and a sewing gauge.may need to make Paco something to cover up with after he burns all that skin that's showing!!and Gnomey may need a pillow to take a rest after working so hard!

My cutter and mat and fabric, all the rest you all can have

If I were stranded on an island I would take notions for handwork -- needles, thimble, small scissors, etc. But let's be honest here -- the thing we would really need is a laptop so we could order fabric to be shipped to us poor stranded souls!

I would need my Clover leather thimble to protect my finger tips while binding or appliqueing, Aurifil thread (the big cone!) because I love it for piecing and any hand stitching I need to do, and I love my Karen Kay Buckley Perfect Scissors--they are the best for cutting shapes for applique.

A HUGE pile of newest charm packs, my apple green Clover needle threader and those tiny glass headed applique pins are what sets my sewing heart aflutter.Plue Paco with a raspberry lemonade to cool off with!

I would need my Aurifil thread and basting pins. I could catch fish with these. And I would need my biggest scissors.

I also love the Little House pins. I just bought more to add to my collection and I ordered extras to give to a couple of friends. Now, they are converts too.

First the seam reaper just in case there's trouble in paradise. And I'll like to have with me my Fiskars scissors and wonder clips.

Reading glasses (is that a notion), seam ripper, rotary cutter.

I would bring a stash of rotary blades for my cutter and then would use the duller blades for protection and survival in the wilds.

Since putting Ecolux Lights on my sewing machine and my long arm I almost feel like I am being bathed by nice warm island sunlight! They are such a relief to these post 50 eyes!

My trusty seam ripper, Aurifil, and some inspirational fabric. I'm already thinking of all the survival projects I could make!

I would need my thimblepads (because who would think to bring bandaids) and my spring-loaded scissors from klein cutlery (because they are so easy to use)and aurifil thread, of course....if there's room, i'd need my vanilla coke zero!!

I would need my gingher snips, my seam ripper and the needle threader. Don't want to be squinting in the sun and get too many wrinkles.

Definitely, needles, thread, needle threader and scissors would help me survive.

I would want my English Paper Piecing "kit" - this would give me plenty to do and a lot of different tools to make things! Thread, needles, scissors, light weight glue...

I would need my small rotating cutting mat that I keep right beside my machine & my Gingher rotary cutter. Like Joanna said, I would also need "good" chocolate. If it's not good chocolate it's just a waste of calories to eat it.

I don't know how I would survive without my rotary cutter and board. Aurifil thread would be as important as food, but I assume I could pick food off the trees so Aurifil thread would be more important. My favorite Clover seam ripper is a must. I will probably be distracted so I might have to unsew a seam or two or five. A solar powered Rowenta steam iron would be necessary to help my blocks behave.

I"m sure my clover seam ripper would help keep any fabric thieving pirates at bay>

I guess I would always need my seam ripper, just can't seem to leave without it!

Would definitely need a clover seam ripper - I'm very particular about perfect seams!

I would definitely need my clover seam ripper, my rotary cutter with a supply of blades.Aurifil thread is my new favorite thread.

The needle threader would help me survive if I gave it to my daughter. Aside from the fact that I need one to thread a needle, if I gave her one, she could thread them for me!

So many clever responses, but simple girl here. I would have to have my Kai scissors, my Little House pins and my 6" square up ruler.

I would need my seam ripper, my serger threading tweezers and my sewing gauge. Those three things are lifesaving tools for me!

Oh, I'd be lost without my rotating mat, rotary cutter, and collection of plastic templates! Adding chocolate would be a plus!

I'd have to take my Olfa rotary cutter. Wouldn't it do a great job when we needed to cut open coconuts! ;-)

I'd definitely need my seam ripper and my Fiskar shears. :o)pippirose59 at gmail dot com
