Other Aids for Sewing

Beyond scissors, needles and thread, this category gathers the small tools that make sewing easier: plastic machine bobbins (spares), the Milward wooden patchwork ruler stand (keeps rulers and templates upright), Singer multi-purpose spray oil 100 ml (machine care), DMC LED and clip-on magnifiers (for fine and blind stitching) and cotton lace by the metre (edging). Scissors are in Scissors, needle aids in Needle Accessories, all aids in Other Tools.

What Each Tool Does

Winding a bobbin for every thread colour speeds machine sewing; pick the bobbin type by machine brand (compatibility is on the product page). Singer spray oil on the hook race and moving parts every few months keeps the machine quiet and smooth. The ruler stand organises rulers, templates and the rotary cutter on the patchwork table. Cotton lace trims pillowcases, aprons and baby clothes.
