Do you have any tool that you use all the time? Do you recommend it to everyone unprompted? Is it ridiculously specific to your situation, wants and needs? Let every one know how they can make their sewing better!!

I myself don't have any at the moment, but I have been eyeing a nice pair of left-handed fabrid scissors for quite some time and I might get it some day.

A quality iron with a steam function

At what point do you consider it quality? I have seen some high end ones for like 400 € and now I feel poor.

Yeah that's a bit much, especially if you're just starting out.

By quality I meant don't get a $10 job from the wal-mart (or equivalent low-price/worse quality store near you) that's going to sputter water all over whatever you're working on when you try to use the steam, or heat unevenly and scorch it. Maybe with an auto-shut off feature for safety.
