What's Under Your Christmas Tree? Embroidery Edition
1. High-Quality Scissors
Every embroiderer needs the right scissors! Specialty scissors like appliqué scissors, curved embroidery scissors, and duckbill scissors are game-changers for achieving clean, precise cuts. These tools make detailed work easier and prevent fabric snags.
Why They’ll Love It: Scissors tailored for embroidery save time, reduce frustration, and make every stitch look professional.
Some of my favorite scissors:
2. Thread Kits
Why They’ll Love It: Embroiderers can never have too much thread! A beautifully curated thread kit adds variety and inspiration to their creations.
I prefer to stitch with Floriani and Isacord threads. Investing in a thread kit is a great way to sample different thread types and get a good selection of colors to get started with your embroidery projects.
3. Hooping Accessories
Hooping can be tricky, but tools like Mighty Hoops or Durkee Frames make it a breeze. These accessories are perfect for hooping challenging materials or adding precision to detailed projects.
Why They’ll Love It: A well-hooped project sets the stage for flawless embroidery, and these tools make hooping stress-free.
Two Mighty Hoops sizes are on my Christmas List this year! I purchase my Mighty Hoops from sewingmachine.com.
4. Embroidery Software
For the tech-savvy embroiderer, software like Embrilliance or Embird Embroidery unlocks endless creative possibilities.
Why They’ll Love It: Software allows them to personalize and customize their projects, turning creative visions into reality.
5. Thread Organizers
Help them keep their threads neat and tidy with thread racks or boxes. A well-organized embroidery station not only looks amazing but also saves time searching for that perfect color.
Why They’ll Love It: Organization fuels creativity, and they’ll appreciate how easy it is to find the exact thread they need for every project.
These are the shelves I use to organize my big spools of thread.
6. Notebooks and Planners
For embroiderers running a small business, having a dedicated notebook or planner is essential. From keeping track of orders to planning social media posts, these tools help them stay organized and productive.
Why They’ll Love It: A well-planned business is a thriving business, and these tools give them the structure they need to succeed. I love having a daily to-do list to help tackle my orders and a notepad to help plan out my week so I'm staying focused! And when you have a new notepad you have to have a new set of pens! These erasable pens are my new favorite!
7. Embroidery Shop Accessories
Gifts like ring lights, embroidery machine cleaning accessories, rotary cutters, a tiny heat press or even a Peggy's stitch eraser can make a thoughtful addition to their embroidery toolkit.
Why They’ll Love It: These accessories are practical, time-saving, and show that you understand their needs.
You can never have too many ring lights! They're necessary for elevating your photography game!
These cleaning brushes make getting into the hard to reach places easier when cleaning your embroidery machine!
A rotary cutter makes cutting pieces of fabric for applique a breeze! Don't forget a a cutting mat too so you have the perfect surface to cut on!
