Put these sewing tools on your Christmas list! Or gift them to your sewing friends :)

[@ericawhitfield9289]

When you said Coats thread, it made me think of my sweet Papaw. He worked at the factory starting as his first real job until he retired from there. That’s unheard of these days. He told me he went every morning and would ask for a job and they’d tell him no. He’d go anyways and just sit on the steps before they got there and catch them on the way in. Eventually, they relented and gave him a job.

[@PinCutSew]

Wow! Very cool.

[@SharonBell6123]

Nice story! I always use Coats

[@bergenchen8462]

Wow! My grandma worked in the South Carolina factory for decades!

[@Memessewingstation]

This was the best list of gifts for a sewist. Most lists are very expensive items. You have listed things that we all need that are not expensive. This is a great video thank you so much for putting it together.

[@jacismith4598]

Love your channel! Love your content! I think you should make a sticker of your mini quilt, “be here now“. It’s iconic to your videos now. lol. I would buy one just based on the message.

[@cjanderson768]

I think quilting magazine subscription is also a great idea. Love you channel!

[@PinCutSew]

Yeah, great idea!

[@Sewmena918]

I have one clapper and would like several more. They are a bit spendy, but should last forever. All of your ideas are great. I have most of the items you shared except the bodkin tool. I want one of those.

[@sherryturner4745]

Just so you know, I LOVE your channel. Thanks for the inspiration ☺️

[@PinCutSew]

Thank you so much 🫶🏻

[@dshollins5864]

Good ideas!

[@jkhmomtofurrymonsters1849]

I just bought those Guggenheim scissors for myself. Boyhowdy are they the bomb! My fingers all fit and no cramps in my fingers using them, like my other "G" brand was doing. A plus plus recommend those.

[@janem3378]

Your channel is so good, useful, well put together. Why do you not have a million followers ? Brava!

[@PinCutSew]

Aw thank you 😁

[@Blanca7C]

This was such a helpful video for gifts for myself hehe ;)

[@debbiewood7718]

I got a selection of thimbles last year. I was very happy with them. In my wish list this year is a seam roller.

[@csgracesew]

So low key watching this while the hubby is sitting on the couch….

[@PinCutSew]

Haha! Smart

[@debbiewood7718]

I hope you ooed and awed at the right time.

[@Melissa-sb7vn]

To sharpen your scissors fold sand paper in half rough side out and make several cuts. Then follow by cutting several snips through folded tin foil. Do this every 3 months.

[@John-316URLOVED]

My husband just got me clappers for my birthday (he went on a sewing forum and asked) and they make nice flat seams. Didn't know I needed them, but a sweet, thoughtful gift.

[@janadpews]

I’m just been updating my wishlist along with the vid!

[@BJG-f2b]

So happy when you put out a new video. ❤

[@reginacalla]

I have to have my bobbins with the spool, too many different shades of the same color, so I use those "bobbi-pin-type" clip things that connect the bobbin to the spool. Or I'm just too "type A". 😅 Thank you for the ideas!

[@cschwab2969]

On the topic of Gutterman thread, I would recommend a thread color guide…got mine from Wawak. It features actual threads wrapped inside so you San see the real color of the thread, which has helped avoid colors that looked correct on screen but wasn’t. Not stocking sized but worth it if you make a bigger stocking! Great ideas on your list…

[@PinCutSew]

Yes, great tip 👍🏻

[@Lana.Created]

I got one for my Amman tread for bag making so I agree, thread guide is the best!

[@robinr6399]

I successfully sharpened the beveled edge of my pinking shears with sharpening stone. Super sharp afterward. Cacaw!

[@inkydinkydoodle]

I also have a mini iron on my wish list… oh I hope my family sees it! 😊🎄

[@magdavanzyl6141]

Spot on Nikky(?). As a quilter, I would love these small practical gifts.❤

[@magdavanzyl6141]

For scissors, I prefer Kai, a Japanese brand.

[@sharonburns2699]

I love your channel, your patterns, and your tips!!

[@PinCutSew]

Thank you so much! 🤗

[@robinr6399]

Yes! Magic pins, a new pretty seam ripper, and your silicone Bobbin holder!!! ❤❤❤

[@jhuntsman17]

Nikki thanks for the fantastic video. I needed ideas for my daughter’s stocking. I just ordered some things. She has just gotten into sewing and she could really use these items

[@damarisrempel9147]

You had a great list!!! And you r right!!! Pins and sharp things do wear out and we really don't notice it because we're just so used to using it dull.... Thank you so much for your wonderful list it gave me lots of great ideas.... I was so proud of myself when I thought this year about buying my friend's rotary cutter blades for Christmas.... I really love the Fisker brand and I work in a hardware store that now carries the rotary cutters and blades and I was able to buy them at a good price... So you and me are on the same page! Yay!!!❤️❤️❤️😆

[@Army2Fire]

I agree with you on the Guggenheim scissors. I also like their rotary cutter blades!

[@reneehorton247]

I recognize where those fat quarters are from! Fun store in the Ville!

[@elainelear4982]

Plenty of great ideas.

[@Marian-t7m]

I wore my own, then my middle sister’s, then the oldest sister’s so same dress etc for 3 years…..😅

[@Brenda-r7t]

I’ve used sand paper to sharpen my pinking sheers it’s not a permanent fix but in a pinch helps just make many many many cuts 🤷🏼‍♀️ has helped. Professional scissor sharpener do great job

[@ireneclai578]

Thank you for the great ideas

[@zormier2002]

I love my rotary cutters from Amazon

[@barbgeorge8927]

I really enjoy your videos! I get great ideas as well as product thoughts. I was a big sewer years ago, but a TBI 20 years ago pushed my ' puzzling skills' away ( and sewing is a series of puzzles!). Short term memory is awful, so I take notes a lot! I'm mainly a straight line seamstress, but am trying more and more to expand. The Sewing Magic book is AMAZING! Your videos are helping me so much! Thank you again!

[@carolynwood321]

Great ideas, thanks!

[@LouiseTichenor]

I love all your ideas

[@kimpoper3711]

Yes you can have your pinking shears sharpened. But apparently it is tricky. If they are taken too far they they end up falling all the way around, happened to mine. (hard to explain) They replaced them but know that can happen. I bought the rotary blades you mentioned and they are great! Thanks for all the fun videos, enjoy your channel so much!

[@kendranewton9071]

Gutterman thread is my go to also. I have had trouble with the hobby lobby thread too, it breaks and frays too easily.

[@janehargreaves3867]

Great tips always enjoy your videos 🎉

[@SuzanneStutzle]

I Love your suggestions. They are all very helpful and useful items. I use them all too.

[@SharonBell6123]

I adore your videos! I so look forward to them!

[@kathygroves4174]

Your a hoot! Just love your videos… I did buy the Magic Pins last year after you raved about them. Will be checking into the scissor’s… need new fabric sheers. I’m from Ontario and sometimes buying from the US can be costly. 😮 You and your family have a wonderful Christmas ❤.

[@DebyTapley]

As always, it's a great video. Thanks, Nikki. I hope you and your wonderful family have an awesome Christmas.

[@PinCutSew]

Thank you so much! Merry Christmas to you too! 🎄

[@LisaAnnSpencer]

Hi Nikki, I’m using my Fiskars snippers this moment as I am at my sewing machine and catching up on sewing videos. Happy Holidays to your family.

[@PinCutSew]

Merry Christmas to y’all too!

[@kimberlykring2475]

Great ideas!

[@Springcreekkristi]

Such a great video! Lots of helpful information! ❤

[@kellyshoup4066]

I just love your energy! Great gift ideas. Merry Christmas 🎄

[@kimpoper3711]

Thanks! Enjoy a coffee or two!

[@PinCutSew]

Oh my gosh, thank you so much 🥹

[@coreygilles847]

I love all of these options! 🎉❤

[@shantellpinto6123]

I love my Quilting Gloves. I suggest cutting the tips off the thumb and the pointer finger. This will allow you to pick up pins and thread your machine without having to remove your glove. And my hands need to breathe when I quilt. Happy sewing!

[@dollysadlak5242]

I would get all the products if I could😊. Great video. Thanks ❤

[@MultiMother24]

Thank you

[@janjohannsen9837]

Good ideas❤️🎄

[@Kitten49able]

Great video thanks

[@giovannacasadio9600]

Great ideas ❤

[@Danceswithbees]

I'd love a video about how to oil your sewing machine. I inherited my grandma's old Bernina 830 over 10 years ago and have never oiled it.... 😳

[@Noreenlee1]

You can look up specific sewing machines for maintenance guidance. Just put in Bernina 830 maintenance.

[@IndigoSew]

I have my Mum’s! Check out Bernina Jeff’s KZbin vid on oiling the Bernina Record 830 (so helpful that it’s the exact machine). Oiling makes a huge difference (and only takes a couple of minutes). I followed Jeff’s suggestion and put a dot of red nail polish on/near each oiling point so I don’t have to watch the video each time. He oils a lot more points than the user manual mentions but, given that he’s repaired and serviced them for decades, I was happy to go with his recommendation. And now she really purrs ☺️ Good luck with it 🧵

[@lynnries7729]

Congratulations! The 830 is the best mechanical machine made by Bernina. Purchased mine in 1980, still going strong. There are several good videos on KZbin showing how to oil specific machines. Type in bernina 830 oiling and maintenance and take your pick.

[@NK-jy4zy]

What’s the name of the mini ruler 📏 you showed when you showed marking chalk? Looks like I want one too.

[@zormier2002]

Fat quarters are 18x22 inches

[@bernadettesjones9142]

❤❤❤

[@lynnhufstetler3825]

My sewing machines do not seem to like guterman thread. It jams them

[@coreygilles847]

Yes, mine also does that...

[@zormier2002]

Cut aluminum with the scissors & that sharpens them

[@UsernameUnkwn21]

If u can find a professional who actually does pinking shears that's the way to go, I have found alot of the people in my area DO NOT work on them

[@vonneywright4028]

I have found someone - if you are in the uk

[@lifeofjoy9404]

Great ideas!
