When you said Coats thread, it made me think of my sweet Papaw. He worked at the factory starting as his first real job until he retired from there. That’s unheard of these days. He told me he went every morning and would ask for a job and they’d tell him no. He’d go anyways and just sit on the steps before they got there and catch them on the way in. Eventually, they relented and gave him a job.
This was the best list of gifts for a sewist. Most lists are very expensive items. You have listed things that we all need that are not expensive. This is a great video thank you so much for putting it together.
I just bought those Guggenheim scissors for myself. Boyhowdy are they the bomb! My fingers all fit and no cramps in my fingers using them, like my other "G" brand was doing. A plus plus recommend those.
Nikki thanks for the fantastic video. I needed ideas for my daughter’s stocking. I just ordered some things. She has just gotten into sewing and she could really use these items
Yes you can have your pinking shears sharpened. But apparently it is tricky. If they are taken too far they they end up falling all the way around, happened to mine. (hard to explain) They replaced them but know that can happen. I bought the rotary blades you mentioned and they are great! Thanks for all the fun videos, enjoy your channel so much!
I’ve used sand paper to sharpen my pinking sheers it’s not a permanent fix but in a pinch helps just make many many many cuts 🤷🏼♀️ has helped. Professional scissor sharpener do great job
Your a hoot! Just love your videos… I did buy the Magic Pins last year after you raved about them. Will be checking into the scissor’s… need new fabric sheers. I’m from Ontario and sometimes buying from the US can be costly. 😮 You and your family have a wonderful Christmas ❤.
To sharpen your scissors fold sand paper in half rough side out and make several cuts. Then follow by cutting several snips through folded tin foil. Do this every 3 months.
I have to have my bobbins with the spool, too many different shades of the same color, so I use those "bobbi-pin-type" clip things that connect the bobbin to the spool. Or I'm just too "type A". 😅 Thank you for the ideas!
Just so you know, I LOVE your channel. Thanks for the inspiration ☺️
Thank you so much 🫶🏻

Wow! Very cool.
Nice story! I always use Coats

Hi Nikki,
I’m using my Fiskars snippers this moment as I am at my sewing machine and catching up on sewing videos. Happy Holidays to your family.
Merry Christmas to y’all too!
I also have a mini iron on my wish list… oh I hope my family sees it! 😊🎄

Cut aluminum with the scissors & that sharpens them
So low key watching this while the hubby is sitting on the couch….
Haha! Smart

Good ideas❤️🎄
Great ideas ❤
Fat quarters are 18x22 inches
I'd love a video about how to oil your sewing machine. I inherited my grandma's old Bernina 830 over 10 years ago and have never oiled it.... 😳
You can look up specific sewing machines for maintenance guidance. Just put in Bernina 830 maintenance.
If u can find a professional who actually does pinking shears that's the way to go, I have found alot of the people in my area DO NOT work on them
