NEW!!!

Red-e-Edge

Red-e-Edge

Light weight side clamps that hold securely and evenly. see video SOLD AS A PAIR.

Details:

These clamps weigh only 1 1/2 oz and pinch the edge of the fabric tightly to allow you to add side tension to the entire exposed edge.  Available in 12", 16" and 20" there is a size for any frame machine.

Note: they are stiff the first few uses but become easier with practice and use.  Open and close them starting with one end and working toward the other. Watch the video here to see it done.  It can seem tricky at first ;)

There is a fantastic new fine needle threader now available from  the Sewline company.

Sewline Needle Threader

Sewline Needle Threader

Sewline Quick thru Needle Threader

You simply insert the fine needle (sizes 9 to 12) in a guide hole and lay the thread across another positioning groove.

Press lightly down on the lever button which directs a shaped pin to pickup and guide the thread through the needle eye.

Simply slide out your threaded needle.

This smart little threader works only with 9-12 size needles.

Being that everything is so fine and therefore fragile, it is important to only use the right size needle and position correctly otherwise the threader mechanism may jam or actually break.

There is a replacement cartridge mechanism available if this inadvertently happens.

Other thoughtful features of the Sewline Threader are a magnet on the base to pickup those fine needles and there is a handy needle storage chamber. An excellent video demonstration on how to use this product can be seen at the following movie.

USE ONLY FINE NEEDLES SIZES NO. 9 to 12

Price: $AU19.95
