This tool is perfect for embroidery, as it will hold the fabric
tight without stretching it and allow you to maintain even
pressure during the project.

Floss is commonly used in surface embroidery, needle

painting using the long-and-short stitch or satin stitch,
cross stitch, and counted thread techniques. It is also
used in other crafting projects. 

Textiles have an assortment of uses, the most common

of which are for clothing and for containers such as bags
and baskets.

A pincushion (or pin cushion) is a small, stuffed
cushion, typically 3–5 cm (1.2–2.0 in) across, which is
used in sewing to store pins or needles with their heads
protruding to take hold of them easily, collect them, and
keep them organized.

Thimbles are used by wearing them on the tip of your

finger and then using them to help push your needle
through the fabric.

Needle threaders make threading your needles

significantly easier since you don’t have to try to see the
eye of the needle and put the end of your thread through it

edge allows them to be used for drawing, scoring, or
cutting. They are often used in technical drawing, math &
geometry, engineering, carpentry, and print fields
