| SEWING RELATED ITEMS: | |
| Things I consider essential to have, in my preferred brands: | |
| https://amzn.to/2Ls6adn | Clover Silk Pins Glass Head |
| https://amzn.to/2H4ZaPg | Hand sewing needles |
| https://amzn.to/2PRjPJt | Fiskars Scissors (I adore the XL Fiskars ones I found years ago, but these regular sized ones will work for most people) |
| https://amzn.to/2JkvmQe | Pinking Sheers |
| https://amzn.to/2JleQzB | Quality sewing thread that won't kill your sewing machine. |
| www.threadart.com | I also highly recommend ThreadArt's website for sewing thread and serger threads. |
| https://amzn.to/2H533Td | Seam Ripper for taking out mistakes |
| https://amzn.to/2PLB1zU | Extremely useful to get elastic, cording, or ribbons into casings or other various applications |
| https://amzn.to/2PLBty6 | An absolutely critical tool for a neat hem |
| https://amzn.to/2JqY0zn | Tape Measure, I like the extra length |
| https://amzn.to/2VQRY1p | A cutting board. This is only essential if you do not invest in rotary supplies. If you do, this is unneeded. |
| https://amzn.to/2Lt84KD | lightweight fusible interfacing, if your project calls for this, please don't skip it |
| These items I consider optional for sewing, but are very nice and quite handy to own. | |
| https://amzn.to/2H4s6H0 | Rotary Cutter, very handy. |
| https://amzn.to/2HemU2v | Gingher rotary cutter. |
| https://amzn.to/2YcN8JA | Buy the one that makes the most sense for you on size. If you are going to cut clothing and larger items, buy as big as you can afford. |
| https://amzn.to/2vHYV6i | Ruler to pair with rotary supplies. If you are going to invest in rotary cutting supplies, this is essential for straight cuts. You don't need a lot of them, one nice long one will do. If you get into quilting, you will probably want more. |
| https://amzn.to/2Jj6mJb | This is called Frey Check. It is used to help glue serger thread ends. |
| https://amzn.to/2Vjda0A | Bobbin holder |
| https://amzn.to/2H4ZVb4 | This one is for a singer. Get what goes with YOUR machine. A walking foot is rarely included with machine purchase, but it is so useful it is very worth buying. |
| https://amzn.to/2vFF9Z9 | Pattern weights. You totally don't NEED these. But they are nice to have for sure. |
| https://amzn.to/2vJ22uB | This has become a frequently used item. If you are going to do many buttonholes, I highly recommend investing in this tool. |
| https://amzn.to/2JqWAF3 | Bias tape maker |
| My personal machine is a Bernina Activa Patchwork Edition 230PE. I can't really link because this item needs to be purchased at a dealer, unless you find a used one on ebay or something. | |
| My serger is the Babylock Imagine. This is also a dealer purchased item. | |
