This is a list of what I consider basic sewing supplies to keep in your "sewing basket". These are the supplies I keep handy in my sewing & design studio so that I can be prepared to start any project. Keep these on hand, and you'll be ready to start your projects, too.
*sewing machine (an embroidery machine & overlock machine are nice,too)
*thread in assorted colors (sewing & embroidery)
*bobbins (extra's wound in the basic colors or ones you use the most)
*scissors (embroidery scissors, shears, pinking shears, & paper scissors)
*tape measure & small slide ruler
*needles in assorted sizes (for sewing machine, serger, & hand sewing)
*pins & pincusion
*seam ripper
*marking pencils or pens (washable/air-soluble)
*iron & ironing board
*press cloth
*seam sealant (such as Fray Check)
*basic sewing machine feet (extra's are great, too)
