Keep
looking...
If you don't find the
notion you are looking for, try typing the name
of the item (like "organizer")
into the Search box on the far left. It's
hard to classify some notions and it may not be
where you expect to find it. Give it a
try!

Tool Time:
Here are some common
problems and ideas for solving them:
Cramped hands -
use a lap base or scroll frame that will prop up
Eye strain -
magnifier or better lighting
Difficulty threading
- sharp scissors, magnifier, better light
Can't sew on airplanes
- blunt needles, pendant cutter
Lose your place on
charts - mag board and line magnifier
Tangled threads -
thread organizers, totes,
Many of the tools make
great gift ideas. So we've added a Gift Idea
category to help you locate them!

Display
pieces
What's a great piece of needlework without a
way to show it off? While you can always frame a
larger piece, try a lovely box to show off your
needlework. Shown is a Sudberry
House wooden box (pincushion also
available). Consider a porcelain box for the tiny
works of art. Several sizes available from
Framecraft.
