Pin & Needles
Pins and needles are essential when it comes to sewing. The pin keeps your fabric in place and with the needle you will proceed to sew. These can be broken into different categories:
Hand Sewing needles
It helps you when you are basting ,mending, sewing a simple button, or hand sewing an invisible seam.
Machine needles
Machine are crucial when you are sewing in a machine since the needle can’t break while sewing any type of fabric for example a denim jean can’t break a needle so its essential to have machine needles as backups just incase.
Safety Pin
A safety pin can be so useful when trying to pull an elastic through casings. They can be even used for taking measurements to make sure you don’t poke yourself with the needle.
Pins
The pins hold multiple layers of fabric together until they are all sewn. The length and type are all up to your desire. Some pins are designed for more fine fabric while the others that are longer are used for quilting.
Pin Cushion
