Embellishments are more popular than ever and we have a wide variety in stock: buttons, beads, pins, charms and ribbons. We stock all the Mill Hill regular beads and Treasures, while we do stock a few, but not all of their Magnifica beads. For other companies we carry a selection but not necessarily all of their line.

We carry the embellishment/completer packs many of  the cross-stitch designers who have them. Feel free to contact us to see if what you want is in stock or if we can order it.

Frames

We do not stock frames but can special order them from these vendors, if you're interested in something unique for your project.

• Poppy Kreations
  • These frames are designed to go with Poppy Kreations designs, but are a wonderful complement to any design.
• Mill Hill
  • These are made specifically for their designs.
• Olde Colonial Designs
  • Frames for many cross-stitch designers

Boxes/Jars

We can special order boxes and trays from Sudberry as well as wood boxes from Olde Colonial Designs.

These hand-made scissors fobs use a woven wire construction technique and are made with 4mm Swarovski Crystal bi-cones. Lobster claw clasps easily clip around your embroidery scissors or can even be used as zipper pulls. Color combinations are always changing.

Every needleworker should have a selection of tools (or "toys") and other accessories at their disposal. We carry a selection of silver or brass stilettos, needlecases and threaders; hand turned wood needlecases, laying tools and laying tool cases as well as several reproduction pieces in silver. Also available are fun polymer clay items from Zecca (laying tools, vials for needles, fobs, etc.).

If you like scrimshaw we have a scrimshaw ruler and thread winder with our shop name & a design of a needle in a haystack.

If you're looking for ways to tote your needlework around, we have a selection of bags from small to large. There are small sewing cases for tools, small and mid sized bags for needlework and large bags you can fit the family pet in (although we don't suggest you do that :-)). As the selection changes regularly come in to see what we have or give us a call if you're looking for something specific.

We carry Artisan Design lap & floor stands (Elan, Gazelle & Ergo). We carry full line of EZ Stitcher scroll frames (by American Dream Products). We also stock a few of the lap and  floor stands from K's Creations and can special order any of their other items. We only special order Lowery stands, which we have drop shipped by the US distributor.

Excellent for use with canvas designs are the regular and mini stretcher bars, in sizes from 4 in to 36 in.We also carry most of the sizes of Evertite bars. If embroidery hoops are what you're looking for we recommend the line of wooden hoops from Germany distributed in the US by Access Commodities. The wood is exceptionally smooth and the range of sizes can accommodate very small to large projects.

You'll find all of these in our on-line catalog by clicking the links above.

Needles

Certainly the most important tool for any needleworker is your needle. We carry John James needles, which come in Chenille, Tapestry, Beading and Embroidery. We also have John James gold and platinum needles in available sizes. If you have never used gold or platinum needles they are worth a try - you might get hooked. John James also has produced a gold version of their popular Petite Tapestry needles (shorter than normal). We also stock Piecemaker Tapestry and Chenille needles. Our favorite needs are from Bohin (France), which are exceptionally smooth and come in Tapestry and Chenille.

Items of Special Interest (good for gifts)

We have a floor model of the Lowery steel floor stands for the shop so you can take it for a spin and see how it works. For those looking for a portable and inexpensive magnifier we have a great clamp magnifier by Daylight™ and several newer magnifer/lights have come on the market. 

To carry your stitching projects around we also carry 6 sizes of plastic mesh bags, similar to those used in kits by a few designers.

You'll find Gifts and other Accessories in our On-Line Catalog, or give us a call if you're looking for something special you don't see. With our extensive inventory not everything we carry is listed in the on-line catalog!
