I set up my machine last night and figured out the threading, the bobbin winding, and sewed some basic stitches. I like having my laptop next to me since I can watch how to videos, sure beats trying to figure out the manuel.

So now I need some suggestions on things that are must haves to make sewing easier. I have a decent scissor but was wondering if anyone uses and electric scissor or rotary cutter. What is the best way to store spools of thread, what is the best type of all around type thread, I would like to build up an inventory of about 15 colors. Should I buy extra needles for the machine.

Please post your favorite sewing essentials, and the best place to buy colored velcro and D rings. Thanks I appreciate any suggestions and help
