I'm a thread heaven fan too, and I have several pairs of embroidery scissors, one for gold work, one tiny pair that are good for removing stitches, and my trusty stork scissors for everything else. sewphiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07517925260881331589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879238690623093246.post-50219171283758668072013-03-30T15:30:01.585+00:002013-03-30T15:30:01.585+00:00You can purchase small ones in tool departments in...You can purchase small ones in tool departments in home improvement stores, computer stores, or in optometry departments in glasses repair kits. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879238690623093246.post-35902820200541341992013-03-29T16:23:33.165+00:002013-03-29T16:23:33.165+00:00That crochet hook idea is so smart, I'll have ...That crochet hook idea is so smart, I'll have to remember that! I don't have a kit, per say, but I have a little, fabric work tray that I use when I've got a project going on, in it I always keep my magnetic needlebox, the threader which sticks to the back, my scissors, and probably the only thing I haven't seen mentioned already, a tiny pot of Thread Heaven to smooth out misbehaving floss. I try to keep it pretty simple or I'll find myself dragging the whole craft room out to the couch :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02761111232910207341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879238690623093246.post-81609771421575342252013-03-28T23:45:40.193+00:002013-03-28T23:45:40.193+00:00A couple of tools that I keep in my embroidery kit...A couple of tools that I keep in my embroidery kit are:<br /><br />1. Velcro tabs -- I use them to help separate or strip strands of floss;<br /><br />2.

It would save me a huge amount of frustration (especially when I can't rethread my needle at the back coz the strands have al separated and the thread is too short).Madhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06143776307773975528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879238690623093246.post-2277242649920663442013-03-28T15:55:47.241+00:002013-03-28T15:55:47.241+00:00oh, very intrigued as to what's coming next.oh, very intrigued as to what's coming next.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611749276288456900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879238690623093246.post-48588872246490098502013-03-28T14:17:35.090+00:002013-03-28T14:17:35.090+00:00People who see my tool kit rarely believe it is on...People who see my tool kit rarely believe it is only for embroidery.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879238690623093246.post-32313172236515038012013-03-28T13:42:30.174+00:002013-03-28T13:42:30.174+00:00I was also confused by the screwdriver but I am no...I was also confused by the screwdriver but I am now going to go find myself one and save my fingers too! xdandelionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17782916339520789136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879238690623093246.post-85421392745369307942013-03-28T13:04:18.323+00:002013-03-28T13:04:18.323+00:00Before I read what you wrote ~ I was wondering wha...Before I read what you wrote ~ I was wondering what that screw driver was doing in the mix of embroidery tools ~ it's a great idea ~ tho I almost never use a hoop. I find them cumbersome.<br />I've got a little sewing book I use ~ it's got my scissors, a little cloth needle case, some pins, a threader (for those small holed needles), and of course, needles.
