My Favorite Sewing Gadgets

I’m not much of a gadget person, but there are a few that I really love! Here are my current top three in no particular order.

First up is a bobbin holder.  For years my bobbins just floated in the drawer with my thread.  It tended to be a tangled mess!  I decided that this bobbin saver couldn’t make it any worse!  My thread drawer is still a little messy, but my bobbins are all contained.  I have both plastic and metal bobbins and they both fit just fine.

 

There are many different brands of Wonder clips.  They come in several sizes and all kinds of colors/patterns.  I love that they don’t put holes in my material.  Plus, it doesn’t matter which way you put them on, pinning a seam.  Frequently I get a seam all pinned and then realize I’ve got the pins going the wrong way so when I sew, I have to push them out towards the sewing needle rather than pulling them out towards me.

I got these self-threading needles years ago as evidenced by the 3 for $.99 Murphy’s sticker!  They are so easy!  It makes hand sewing just a little more bearable.  You simply push the thread in through the top.  No trying to find the eye.

 

One bonus “gadget” because I’m not sure it’s actually a gadget, is my twin needle.

I’ve started using it a lot more and I love the professional finished look I get.
