3. Good cutting scissors
What if you or your friend needlewoman still does not have such tailor scissors that could be called ideal and most beloved? If this question is open, it's time to find the right pair. High-quality scissors from a well-established manufacturer will become convenient, reliable and serving for a long time - these are worth spending money on. Universal scissors, which are suitable for cutting most fabrics and materials, should have straight, long enough (25 cm +/-) blades, comfortable handles (the classic version is when one ring is larger than the other) and a well-functioning mechanism.

4. Scissors for cutting threads
This gift will surely be delighted by everyone who sews a lot on a sewing machine. Scissors for cutting threads, they are also clippers, also called snippers (not to be confused with a spinner and snippet) - a small accessory that allows you to cut the threads after sewing with one easy and quick movement of the hand. Due to the design, these scissors do not need to be opened before cutting the thread, their small blades give the movement the desired accuracy - if you have not worked with the snippet, believe me: it is very convenient. Some tailors also use nail clippers to cut and seam.

5. Roller knife and mat
Such a gift will be appropriate primarily for those who are going to do patchwork, patchwork, leather work, scrapbooking. It’s faster, more accurate and more convenient to cut parts for a patchwork with a roller knife and a rug than if you do it with scissors.In the case of leather and suede, both natural and artificial, these devices also give a much more accurate result and greatly facilitate the process. Here you can read about roller knives (and other knives and cutters) in more detail.
It is better to purchase a roller knife immediately with a mat-substrate: the mat not only protects the working surface from cuts, but also facilitates the work (more about the advantages of using and arranging the mat here).

6. Scissors for embroidery
If you or your girlfriend, for whom you choose a gift, are fond of embroidery, but haven’t gotten special scissors yet, we recommend doing it. Experienced embroiderers must use special scissors for work. They don’t cut anything with these scissors and store them like the apple of an eye, comparing their significance with the importance of a scalpel for a surgeon. Scissors for embroidery are different: for example, “herons” with curved handles (pictured) or just small scissors with straight thin blades that resemble manicure ones. The thinness and sharpness of the blades are very important first of all for small jewelry work, for example, when you need to not only cut the thread, but also undo unsuccessful stitches or cut the fabric when embroidering a quiche. So, choosing scissors for embroidery, focus not only on their beauty (but there are very beautiful ones!), But also on functionality and quality.

7. Convenient needle bar
If you need a small but useful gift, take a look at the different types of modern needle beds. For those who cut and sew, a needle-bracelet is useful - it is put on the hand, while pins and needles are always in easy access (such a bracelet makes the sewing life much easier!). For embroiderers, there are needle beds that simultaneously serve as a cover for small scissors - it is convenient to store and take with you. And magnetic needle beds are useful to any needlewoman - their functionality can hardly be overestimated.
