A New Brand of Light Magnifier

Brighttech is a new brand of light/magnifier on the market.  They sell floor and table models and light/magnifiers that clamp onto a desk or table.  There is a five year warranty on the ones I looked at, but these are LED lights.  I don't think if they burn out the lights can be replaced.

Sajou Embroidery Scissors: A Review

My Tortoise Shell Sajou Scissors

Sajou recently sent Mary Corbet a pair of their embroidery scissors for review.  These are beautiful delicate scissors, more for occasional use and display than everyday embroidery scissors.   Mine are simply gorgeous.  I haven't used them yet (they were a gift from a dear friend) but I love opening the box and sitting it on the table to look at while I stitch.  They make me feel glamorous and skilled and give me much pleasure.  If you love beautiful things, these might be the scissors for you.

Tips for Stitching on the Go

Recently Mary Corbet's mother had a health scare. So Mary's been stressed and sitting in a hospital, trying to stitch. She shares some of her tips for stitching on the go with us here.  Her tips are good ones, even if you aren't stitching something as tiny as she is.

Hope your mom feels better soon, Mary!

Since We Are Talking Belts….

Since we are talking belts, you'll want to see how Jennifer stores the belts she makes each year for her son's birthday.  Genius!
