Whenever I go to Dallas with my sewing machine, I always seem to forget something.  I’m packing right now for SF and I’m afraid I’m going to forget something important.  You know, like thread.  Or a seam ripper.  Something not very expensive to get another but that I have at home and will still be a hassle to go find.  There’s not any quilt stores near our hotel.  It’s a 45 minute bus ride to the nearest quilt store, but they might not have what I need.  Britex isn’t that far, I guess.  I just might not be able to find, like, rotary cutter blades or something.

So my question is:  What do you find that you always forget when you travel/go to retreats?  And what is on your must take list?
