We favour Fiskars scissors to use for all embroidery and haberdashery needs. Whilst our favourite is the embroidery scissors for regular use, the length of blade is too long to be carried in hand luggage. So we also stock the embroidery snips which have a shorter blade suitable for hand luggage.
We also stock a Prym seam ripper which is a very useful little tool to have in you sewing bag for unpicking work.

In our opinion, Elbessee produce the best sewing hoops, frames, and sewing stands. We carry three sizes of embroidery hoop. Your design does not have to fit inside the hoop as you can move the hoop around your piece as you work. We have a wider rectangular frame for larger pieces of work or for use with our tapestry cushion kits. We recommend getting a twizzler with this as it will make it much easier to tighten the nuts.
We also stock a table clamp which enables you to work with both hands by having the hoop held in position for you. Please note the table top depth must be max 1.5 inches for the clamp to be compatible.
Do check if your kit includes a hoop before adding one to your basket.

We stock two sizes of needles: the embroidery needles are our go to for the majority of work, but if you find you have difficulty with small needles we stock a larger size which is easier to thread. The images are not to scale but give an indication of the different shape.

If you are a regular stitcher or are intending on embarking on some of your own projects, then there are a couple of additional useful additions to your sewing box. The chalk and heat erasable pens are used for drawing out your own designs before stitching.
