Cross Stitch Tools - Helpful Cross Stitch Tools, Gadgets, and Organizers

Enhance Your Stitching Experience

By , About.com Guide

I use many of these tools each time I stitch. And, the ones I don't have yet are high on my wish list.

LoRan Project Card for Floss

These organizers are great for organizing floss from kits or projects. Of course, you can also make your own floss organizer too.

LoRan Project Pouches

These vinyl pouches have zip top closures and a sturdy handle. Each package contains one small and one large pouch. The small pouch will hold the 6"x10" LoRan Magnet Board and Folding Stand and other project supplies. The large pouch will hold the 8"x10" LoRan Magnet Board and Folding Stand and other project supplies. These pouches will definitely be a step up from the plastic storage bags I usually favor.

LoRan Tapestry Needles With Magnetic Needlecase

Tapestry needles with a handy magnetic needlecase that will stick to your magnetic board or a nearby metallic surface. Since the case is flat, there's no worry that it will roll off the table either.

LoRan/Dritz Magnet Board 12"x 18"

This is definitely on my wish list. I want one to use for patterns I print out from my pattern design software - I would be able to view a large print pattern all at once with this baby.

LoRan/Dritz Magnet Board 6"x 10"

The smaller board is perfect for travel and for small patterns that would swim on the larger boards.

LoRan/Dritz Magnet Board 8"x 10" with Ruler

This is my magnet board of choice. The ruler is always where I can find it and helps me keep me place. I use the board in tandem with the folding stand.

LoRan/Dritz Magnet Board 8"x 10"

If you already have a magnetic ruler, then purchase the board individually.

Magazine Files

Some magazines and charts are a bit over-sized, so I can't use the book keepers and three ring binders to organize them. Sturdy magazine files are a great option for keeping these magazines and charts safely on the shelf without having to stack them, risking perpetual paper avalanches when you brush them as you reach for supplies.
