 This Needle Sorting Pincushion is no ordinary pin cushion! Designed to keep and organize your sewing machine needles, this is in fact a “needle sorting needle cushion”, made to organize used sewing machine needles that are not yet worn out.

• FACT: There are many needle types and sizes for different projects and fabrics, so if you are sewing with different materials often, you’re changing your needle faster than it wears out!
• FACT: The markings on sewing machine needles are tiny. Can you read the inscriptions? Once you remove a needle from the needle box, it’s hard to find out exactly what size or type it is.
• FACT: I often forget what kind of needle I have on my machine. Do you?

Use this little pin cushion to temporarily keep a sewing machine needle until you need it again for your next project! Go to Instructions & More to read how to get the most use out of this pin cushion.

The table that is printed on the pincushion contains 6 different needle sizes (60 to 100) and 7 needle types (Universal, Microtex, Ballpoint, Stretch, Denim, Serger and Embroidery).

Specifications

• Size: 4 x 4 x 2 inches

• Weight: 0.61oz (17.4 gm)

• Material: canvas sleeve with polyester filling

The MadamSew “everything-you-need-to-know-about-sewing-machine-needles” guide comes with the Needle Sorting Pincushion.

Instructions & More

 Every time you remove a needle from the pincushion to use on your machine, put a pin in the corresponding square in the table to mark which needle you are currently using.. When you change the needle for another type or thickness, remove the pin and place the needle in the corresponding square so you can reuse your needle later and keep it organized at the same time. This is shown with the yellow headed pin in the photo.

The MadamSew Sewing Machine Pedal Mat has been exclusively designed to solve a common problem when using your sewing, embroidery or Serger machine.

Have you ever tried to step on your sewing machine pedal and found that it is not where you thought it was? Or maybe you were sewing along and your pedal kept moving so you were contorting to press down on it while you kept sewing? If that is the case, then the Sewing Machine Pedal Mat is for you!

This pedal mat will help keep your sewing machine pedal from moving or slipping as much. Therefore, allowing you to focus on your project, not on chasing your pedal. And, it protects your flooring from scratches or damage which is another great reason to have one!

Easy to use without the need to attach the mat to either the pedal or your flooring. Light and small enough to take with you to a class or sewing group. Works well on most flooring surfaces.

For best results, place the mat logo side up and wavy side down. Then sew, embroider or serge away!

We also carry a Sewing Machine Muffling Mat to reduce your machine's vibrations, movement and slipping.

And we carry Non-Slip Adhesive Rings that you can put on the bottom of your pedal mat if you have very, very slippery floors.

Specifications

• Materials: TPE Rubber
• Size: 7” x 10” (18cm x 25.4cm)
• Thickness: 0.3” (8mm)

Instructions & More

How to Use:

• To use, place the Sewing Machine Pedal Mat, logo side up, where you want your sewing pedal to be, then place your pedal on top. You are now ready to sew.
• It does move a little so you can reposition it without having to crawl under your sewing table. Just push the mat to the place you want it to be with your foot.
• Works well on most flooring surfaces.
• If you have very, very slippery flooring, you may want to consider adding our Non-Slip Adhesive Rings to the bottom of the mat.

How to Care for Your Mat:

• Clean your Sewing Machine Pedal Mat with soap and water; then either air or towel dry completely before using.
• Do not leave or place in the sun.

The Sewists Magic Wand is a multifunctional sewing and quilting tool, also referred to as a sewing “thang” or sewing stiletto. It is difficult to define because it has different functions. The sewing stiletto is a long, slender tool with a smooth tip. You’ll be amazed at how much impact this lightweight tool will have on your sewing and other projects.

• feed fabric evenly under the presser foot of your sewing machine and push the fabric forward

• push out corners when you turn sewing or craft projects inside out

• hold down the fabric near the needle as you sew with the end that has a slight curve; especially handy to sew over ruffles and folded fabric

• safely reach into tight spaces in the stitching area or get close to dangerously hot irons

• finger press down seams, to prevent the fabric from curling under the sewing machine presser foot, with the flat edge of the Sewist's Magic Wand

• check on your ¼ inch seam allowances as the flat square base is exactly ¼ inch

• stuff narrow items

• remove pins that are too close to the sewing machine needle

• lift out bobbins

• pull material through a casing just like a bodkin, using the ½ inch long slot 

• do other stuff, we are sure you will probably find more uses as you go!
