Gifts for the Stitcher

Finding that perfect gift for the crafty stitcher in your life can be hard at times and purchasing gift certificates or cards can get old. Here are a few suggestions that can help you find that perfect gift for the stitcher. Most of these items can be found at your local craft store such as Michael's or JoAnn's and all can be found online at such places as www.herrschners.com.

1. DMC Gift Pack: Twenty-five of DMC's most beautiful and popular colors all in one pack. The pack also includes eight designs exclusive to the gift pack that the stitcher is sure to enjoy.

2. Double-Eye Needle: Let them add more color to their stitching. Each needle has two eyes to allow stitching with two colors at once. This further helps eliminate fabric strain. Each package comes with three different size needles in either sharp or blunt tips.

3. Needle Case: This product is ingenious. It is a needle case that neatly stores up to ten threaded needles at one time - no longer does the stitcher have to stop every few stitches to change color. The stitcher simply inserts the needle into a groove and rotates to coil up the thread.

4. Stitcher's Lotion: This luxuriously soothing lotion is safe to use while stitching as it does not stain the fabric or threads and washes out easily all the while keeping the stitcher's hand smooth.

5. Cross-Stitch Needle Organizer: The stitcher can now organize up to fifty threaded needles to eliminate confusion when stitching. Made of durable plastic and comes with blank cards. The cards allow the stitcher to record thread numbers for easy reference and quicker stitching.

6. Floss Organizer: Stores up to fifty floss colors for easy review. Includes ten reusable cards that are printed on both sides for quick reference. This allows the stitcher to refill or remove colors as needed for their projects.

7. Needlework Storage Bag: A must for the stitcher on the go. Allows the stitcher to grab their supplies and go in this smartly styled bag. The easy access top compartment has plenty of room for work in progress, while smaller outside multiple pockets are good for storing smaller items and supplies.

8. Vintage Thread Cutter: Never be without a way to cut thread. This decoratively embossed, antique pewter is a pendant with sixteen recessed cutters that leave no sharp edges exposed. A great gift for the stitcher who travels, but cannot always have scissors.

9. Prop-It Magnetic Magnifying Chart Holder: Magnifies type and holds books and patterns open. Comes with a collapsible plastic stand, magnetic board with magnetic strips as well as a bar magnifier that doubles your pattern line. The plastic stand folds flat for easy storage.

10. Handeze Craft Gloves: Helps soothe the stitcher's hands with three ancient forms of pain relievers - support, natural body heat and massage. This specially designed glove offers support and gives relief while stitching to enjoy more time stitching.
