Just a few of my embroidery tools are pictured here. Because, like most of you, I have got heaps of embroidery needles, another pair of scissors, more stuff to transfer etc etc. The little blue box is Thread Heaven (not my words that's the brand name) for 'conditioning' thread. Georgia sent it to me for my birthday and I have to remind myself to use it instead of putting the floss in my mouth before I thread the needle. Because deep down I'm a floss licking girl. ;) (Please tell me I'm not the only one!)
Of course there is always room for more stuff so let me know what your favourite embroidery tool is!
I'm lick the floss so much, I'm surprised I don't bring up fur balls. ;-)
ReplyDeletehaha floss balls! :D
ReplyDeleteI have my heaven too but lickin is my first reflex. I do remember to use heaven when I am hand sewing my quilt binding! Love your work.
ReplyDeleteI am a licker and I admit it!!
ReplyDeleteI think my scissors are a great tool. Otherwise I am using my teeth!
Oh I always lick the floss too. I've only been using the thread heaven on metallic floss - run the whole length of the floss through it and it is *so* much easier to use.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know there was any other way but licking the floss. But I'm going to buy one for metallics for sure.
ReplyDeleteOkay. I'm a licker. Enlighten me. Why is it bad? Am I going to be poisoned?
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's bad and I'm pretty sure you will be ok if you continue your floss licking activities!
