I have been a loyal customer of Aurifil threads for a long time. I use them for hand sewing, quilting, and even on my machines. This year I put out my own Aurifil thread box with 10 of my favourite colours for hand sewing.

My sewing life completely changed since I got my JUKI DDL 8700. It is absolutely marvellous, especially if you are a frequent quilter like me. It takes up a bit of room, but it's so worth it. You can buy your own here.

In the Aurifil family, I use this Grey 2600 50 weight for all my EPP and hand sewing. It's dreamy, and disappears in completely on any fabric.

I also use CLOVER CHALK PENCILS when I am marking out a quilt for hand stitching. Buy your own set here.

KAI SCISSORS are the best and sharpest. I use the N5250 model for most fabric jobs.
