None of mine are extraordinary either, just helpful, which to me is more important to me than anything else. I have several sizes of hoop also, but they are all wooden. Personally I can't stand the plastic ones, they allow the fabric to slip more than I like, the wooden ones have more internal traction (less smooth than plastic) so to speak. I also have a box of Thread Heaven, but my use of it is also limited. When I use it most is when I am embroidering in the car in the evenings, and light is limited, it allows me to thread the needles with fewer hassels. I also have alot of needles, though I have never found needle books to be very useful, since I inherited most of my needles from my granmother when her arthritis got too bad for her to sew anymore. She gave them to me back in the 80's and they (some still are) in a tube, and I couldn't tell anyone what size most of them are if my life depended on it. :-) I just know which ones I like for what I am doing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
