Bobbin saver - red
You can hold over 20 sewing machine bobbins in this donut saver. You can also fit in 16 Pearsall's Gossamer and Naples silk thread spools, which is mighty handy when you want your silk thread available for hand appliqué. And if you use Pearsall's silk floss you can put the Marabou silk floss spools in too.

Perfect Scissors from Karen Kay Buckley, 4 inch, small, KKBPSS

Perfect Scissors from Karen Kay Buckley, 4 inch, small, KKBPSS
I never thought serrated scissors would work...... But I tried them at a class given by Karen Kay Buckley, and they do! They stop the fabric fraying. They really do. I already have several pairs of expensive scissors - I still shelled out for these as they are so worth it.

They have a micro serrated blade, comfortable soft handles and a protective plastic cover.

One of the ladies in my guild has arthritic fingers. She tried these handles and found them comfortable.

Finger Pincushion

Finger Pincushion
These are the cutest little pincushions. You wear them like a ring on your finger. SOOOO useful when you are doing applique or any kind of stitching work. When you have pins in the fabric and you need to take them out its a real pain to have to reach over and drop pins anywhere. Plus it's also good for when you want pins to put IN your work.

They come in assorted colours so we will chose one for you.

Wool felted pincushion - Ewesful Original Pure Virgin Wool Pincushion
My mostest favouritest pincushion. I have one permanently on my studio table. The lanolin the wool keeps your pins and needles rust free and the wool doesn't dry out in humid weather. They come in various colours and are a decent size - 3 to 4 inches wide and around 2½ inches high.
