Fool for Tools!

April 9, 2010

"And then I use...pssth psst..."

Over on Facebook, I asked stitchers what they considered their most "indispensable tools for embroidery" aside from hoop, needle and floss. Pending availability of these in my own Tools section (where I do have iron-on transfer pens and iron-on stabilizer along with my other favorites) here is a helpful list to find all of their suggestions!

Clever and insightful answers also included "Wine", "Fingers" (don't get smart with me), "Time", "Daylight", "The right chair",  "My iPod".

♥ INDISPENSABLE EMBROIDERY TOOLS ♥
(according to the great minds of my Facebook friends)

This iron-on transfer pen seemed to be #1

Clip-on reading light "for PM stitching"

Lightbox

Thread Heaven

Seam Ripper

Sticky Stabilizer
(different from iron-on)

Magnifying Light

Punch Needles

Needle Nest

Water Erasable Pen

Tracing Paper

Laying Tool

Floss Organizer

Here are some of my own favorites if I may be so bold:

Clover Embroidery Hoop

Q-Snap Frame

Spindle Rack
(I use it to openly store my floss like this.)

Everything you need to create your dream embroidery studio! Thanks for all the suggestions everyone!
