I love my snips, my hands/wrist get tired of pulling the scissors apart especially for chain piecing. These spring open so all I have to do is squeeze, I can sew longer without wrist pain from the cutting! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074P75B96/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_imm_7CQWNKMB1R97MRDPP3CK?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I agree with the block-loc ruler for squaring HSTs. I also find with those the consistency in seam allowance is even more important. I put painters tape on my sewing machine to make the seam allowance consistent - I just keep the edge of the fabric against the edge of the tape. I also ordered these fork pins for this project, and they’ve been surprisingly helpful at keeping bulky nested seams exactly where I want them as I sew them together.

Ha! Your vet has a great sense of humor.
I thought you were onto a million dollar idea, but looks like sewable googly eyes exist already! https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B08PKYTRYG/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_5YWRZSXDJDYQQSKXW1M4?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I love my half square triangle trimmers. They were a game changer for me. I also have the ones for flying geese 😌 10/10 would recommend.

I just place the clipper edge between the two layers of fabric, right on the thread, and ZOOM! it clips right through the seam! So fast~
It's basically a mini electric clippers. Do not recommend using on minky or anything with a pile~ but so so good for cotton!
discount going on 👌

Also if it's on your Amazon list and that list gets sent via PM, Christmas and fingertip safety will come early. Because ffs safety is important.
