The Ultimate Embroidery Case

Need a case to store your stitching tools?  Hand and Lock has the ultimate stitcher's tool case.

The tools, beads, threads and more are not included but if you are like me, you have plenty of that already.  You just don't have something elegant to keep them in.

Embroiderers to the Royal Family

I fought you'd enjoy watching this video profile of Hand and Lock that Susan Elliott of Plays with Needles fame posted the link to.  The company is famous for their gold work, couture embroidery and military insignia.  Amazing to think that hand embroidery is still a viable profession in the 21st Century!
