Adhesive Magnetic Sheets have many uses. Stitchers can use them to create small magnets or used to corral needles while stitching. Of course, the sheets may be used as an impromptu needle finder if your stitcher is like me and works in a carpeted area. I can never find those dropped needles without a magnet! Photo © Connie G.

It has a small sticky pad (replacements are available for these) that helps to corral pesky seed beads and holds them until threaded on the needle. Learn more. |
A small clip-on light is very helpful for a stitcher who enjoys working on the run. Waiting rooms, hospitable bed-sides, and car interiors become perfect places to stitch when a light illuminates your project. Read ReviewSome people think gift certificates are less personal, but hey, if you have no idea what a person needs or want, then a gift certificate may be the best option.

If you have a budding stitcher on your hands, get them started with the proper tools. It will enhance the experience and may be the beginning of a life-long hobby. Photo © Connie G.

I have a dozen pairs of scissors floating around my house, but only two pairs of really nice ones. The small scissors are for cutting floss and the larger ones are for fabric. Period. Give a set of scissors that will last a stitcher a lifetime. Then, keep your hands off of them! A year's subscription to a favorite magazine will be a welcome gift. Or, give a subscription to a magazine the stitcher has not been receiving and add to his or her pattern stash. A scissors sharpener will help keep scissors in proper shape and make cutting floss and fabric much easier. Let me know what gifts you think should be added to the list.
