I just love it when I find a tool or gadget that is clever and solves a problem. If you find yourself stopping and starting threads often when you’re stitching, you probably get frustrated. I find myself sitting trying to figure out if there is a tack that sticks up enough to wind the thread around. Or if I can catch it under my needle minder.
Brenda has come up with an extremely clever way to solve the problem by making her own thread holder. She used a small Wonder Clip and a strong magnet. It doubles as a needle minder as well.
I just love it and just bought clips to make my own. It’s going to become part of my stitching kit as soon as they are complete.
