Air Erasable & White Marking Pen
What is it?– “The devil is in the detail”. It’s a common enough phrase. Perhaps some of us has even used it. But what does it really mean, “the devil in the detail”?

Magnet Pin Caddy and Dome Threaded Needle Case
What is it?– “I’m on pins and needles.” We’ve all heard the phrase and we know what it means. A sense of anxiety or suspense. But how could that possibly apply to sewing? Pins and needles of course.

So pay attention because there may be a test at the end of class. If I were to ask you what you thought was the most important physical element of your sewing machine what would your answer be?

Tatting Shuttles & Picot Gauge Set
What does it do? – Tatting is a needle art that requires only a shuttle, some thread and a creative vision. Add a handy set of picot gauges and you have all the tools necessary to achieve that vision. Clover Tatting Shuttle – Clover tatting shuttles are considered “post shuttles” because the tatting thread is wound around a post that holds the top and the bottom of the shuttle together. The shuttle works as a thread-holder and functions much as a weaving shuttle when manipulating threads between the threads held…
