Merry L's Seam-Fix

Thanks to BeStitched, I learned Merry L has a new tool called the Seam-Fix.

It comes in two sizes with a silicon "eraser" tip on the cover that conceals a ripping tool.  Rip out a mistake with the ripper, then put the tip back on and use the silicon top to pick up the fuzzies left behind.

Your local shop can order one for you if they don't have them in stock.  Shop around if you order online as prices vary slightly.

Merry L Thread Catchers

BeStitched showcases a new product from Merry L--thread catchers!

https://bestitchedneedlepointshop.com/products/fabric-thread-catchers-by-merry-l?inf_contact_key=fb273fbe8b4af0a807a2a319ee4d30e6

These are collapsable containers (perfect for travel) for your thread ends.  They come in all sorts of fabric patterns and are a useful way to tidy up your stitching space.

I think Labors of Love sells these as well.
