The blog hop question for this round is:
What are your must-have stitching tools and aides? Other than your trusty scissors, of course. Is there a problem you have had when stitching that you created your own solution for, or have you purchased a tool that helped?
Wow! Another tough question to narrow down so I don't think I will limit myself! ;-)
Absolute must-haves are my scroll frames and floor stand from Artisan Design! I have the original Gazelle floor stand with the optional chart holder. I have enough scroll frame rods and sidebars to make 7 (yes, 7!) complete frames. All of my frames currently have a project on them.
Other gadgets that I've found to be extremely helpful include:
- Star De-Tailor for running short thread ends under other stitches
- Pako Needle Organizer for having pre-threaded needles handy
- OttLite Floor Lamp so I can actually tell 3771 and black apart!
- Highlighters for marking off stitches as I do them.
- DVD player
- LCD tv
- glider rocker and ottoman

This was a good topic for us stitchers. Great way to learn about new products, or ones that are unfamiliar to us.

Wonderful!! I loved your additions and realized what I didn't think about for myself.
It's nice to see what others "must have" to stitch. Thanks for sharing :)
Oh...I totally forgot my CD player that I listen to books on cd. I love reading about what everyone needs to stitch.
I loved the tool of a Star De-Tailor; had never heard of this, found it on-line and ordered immediately; a must thing to have when you have to frog and then resecure the thread. How nice of you to help educate us newbees.
