Tools Featured: 

Wonder Pins

Wonder Pins are strong enough to pierce multiple layers but thin enough to go through fabric without leaving holes. They are so easy to pin through fabric and always easy to see. 

Scissors 

Patchwork Scissors

The serrated edge provides easy cutting as fabrics are held in place without slipping. Easily cuts through multiple layers of fabric including cutting pieces for patchwork projects. A protective cover is included for safe storage. Patchwork Scissors are available in 4 sizes.

Bordeaux Ultimate Scissors & Shears 

Nancy Zieman Bordeaux Ultimate Scissors are unique because they are made from an innovative technique that ensures a fine cut and unsurpassed durability. The scissors offer a precision finish and high quality blade of steel. Bordeaux Ultimate Scissors are available in 3 sizes. 

Rotary Cutters 

Cuts fabric beautifully with the right amount of blade exposed, whether held upright or at an angle. Can be adjusted for left or right handed use. Rotary Cutters are available in 4 sizes. 

Roll & Press

The handle is ergonomically designed to make it both comfortable and easy to manipulate. The roller is designed with a slight arc so you can “finger press” seams without leaving edge marks.  The roller also presses without pulling or distorting our fabric as we press. The Roll & Press is perfect for everything from paper piecing to heavy laminates.

Seam Ripper & Curved Tailor’s Awl

Seam Ripper

A comfortable handle, long shaft and precision point make this the tool of choice for fashion, quilting or home decor.  Whether you’re “picking” out stitches made in error, just changed your mind on a design or are opening up a button whole, the Seam Ripper is amazingly easy to use.

Curved Tailor’s Awl

The ergonomic handle provides better grip and comfort for controlled results. The curved tip ensures beautiful curves on pockets and collars. The special tip also allows you to easily get under seams and stitches. When using the Curved Tailor’s Awl as a stiletto the curved tip also means higher visibility for every application.

Hold It Precision Stiletto

Heat resistant silicone tip for working near iron while pressing. Use the Hold It Precision Stiletto at the ironing board or sewing machine.

Clip ‘n Glide Bodkin

When special requirements exist the Clip ‘n Glide Bodkin ensures a more secure connection between bodkin and elastic drawstring material. A mechanical connection virtually locks the elastic in place. The lead portion of the bodkin remains flexible and sufficient length to provide for ease of manipulation and speed the process along.

Desk Needle Threader

The Desk Needle Threader is the absolute easiest way to thread hand sewing needles.  It is a standalone device that rests solidly on any table or flat surface near your work area.

Point 2 Point Turner

Every edge, point and dimension of the Point 2 Point Turner has a designed purpose. The rounded edge also functions as a hera marker while the spatula shaped end works well in finger pressing. This is truly a multi-function tool necessary to any sewing kit.

Wonder Clips

The Wonder Clip, designed and manufactured by Clover, is the first clip developed specifically for the needs of today’s sewers, quilters, and crafters. Wonder Clips are available in 3 sizes (Mini, Original and Jumbo) and a variety of colors. 

Hot Ruler

Measure, fold and iron any hem in one smooth motion. Measure, fold, press. Repeat as necessary for the length or your project. The Hot Ruler with its increased length makes short work of long hems.

5-in-1 Sliding Gauge

A multifunctional sliding gauge for easy marking! Can be set at 1/8″ (3.2cm) increments. The 5-in-1 Sliding Gauge is a go-to sewing notion. Whether quilting or sewing, it is a versatile and accurate tool to measure, mark and create.

Triangle Tailor’s Chalk

Tailor’s Chalk for sewing and quilting. Available in blue, red, white and yellow.
