Just watching this video. Great tips re sewing supplies. However, regarding magnetic seam guides, I have a Janome 4300 (computerised), phoned Janome when I heard magnets might cause problems, to which they assured me that the amount of magnetism will NOT affect the computerised bits. In the past, magnets were consided to affect computer parts but these seam guides don't have enough magnetism so are perfectly safe to use. I use a magnetic seam guide and have had no problems. If any doubt, I would suggest contacting your particular manufacturer to check with them. :) Happy sewing :)
This just popped up on my TH-cam feed. I remember you from the Covid mask making I just got a Juki a year ago and I was deciding to do some free motion. Quilting came across a video from Leah day and she also uses those bobbin washers. so I ordered some last night and also I ordered that grip grid thing the other day Talk about coincidence and thanks for showing how that bobkin works. I’ve got it as part of a package and didn’t know what the heck I was supposed to do with it. 😅
@@homemadeonourhomestead when it started to get serious, I switched to an N 95 mask. I spent so much of my time watching these tutorials on how to make masks and then ended up having to buy an N 95. My bobbin washers are arriving today. Can’t wait to try them out.
I've got the elastic puller and have used it for at least 20yrs. One of my favorite tools. Like the sewing needle box and probably will get it as I've three different machines. Enjoyed your video.
Thanks for your video! Great ideas! I have two computerized Bernina machines, I asked my dealer if I can use magnetic anything on my machine and she said Yes! The issue with the machine having trouble with magnets has been fixed! So no worries. I would advise contacting your sewing machine dealer and ask just to be sure for other brands.
Great list of items to make organized sewing areas and simple things like the bodkin to make life easier when you're repairing items or sewing lots of things! Another well made and easy to understand video! You're the best, Brie!!
The old wives tale about magnets and computerised machines raises it's head again. It is just not true that magnets ruin your computerised machine. You'd need a magnet the size of a cooker to do slight damage and who is going to do that. Go ahead and cover your machine with magnets. Nothing will change, accept a few bits might come rushing towards it! Haha I've had one of those gadgets for years. All of my computetised machines running fine. Like your list but because I hate spending out unnecessarily, I'm thinking home-made alternatives! Thank you for sharing xx
I’ve never seen the machine needle storage box. Genius. ❤️ Mini hair ties work on thread spools. Magnetic sewing mat? It’s okay near a computerized sewing machine? Gotta get one. Thanks. I was worried about the magnetic seam guide, but needed something. Now I can get the sticky ones. I am definitely saving this video. I’ll check out your other video. And I’ll subscribe.
I have a magnetic seam guide but I'm afraid to use it because I'm concerned it might wreck it. Its a Singer but its not computerized. But my daughter showed me that washi tape works well. I love my Gingher scissors. They are so reliable just like my stork snips. Thanks for the video.
Yes the needle boxes are just “craft” storage boxes I bought but they for sure resemble pull storage boxes. Not sure what else you could put in them but they work great for needle organization.
I tried a magnetic guide on my old Elna computerized machine, and it really messed with the feed of my thread. As soon as I took it off, it returned to normal.
I'm liking this video on sewing must haves, but I can't seem to find the top part plastic that you placed on the lipped edge ruler. I went to the O'lipfa website and there are no such item to purchase. Could you please assist me in acquiring that top piece for my ruler. I found that you have a good idea to keep hands and fingers safely away from the rotary blade. Thank you and waiting for your response. Also I really like that expensive rotary cutter that you are displaying in this video.
Hi Petra, heres a link to the ruler safety guide. Let me know if it still doesnt pop up for you. I've also linked it in my new video coming out today (7am PST) amzn.to/3zPJVlT
Oh no! Did you contact the company? Which product? the magnetic seam guide or the stick on grid by sew steady? If it was the sew steady one id reach out to the company. They have had great customer service when I have needed them for my extension tables
quiltersselect.com/products/Select-Tools/Select-Rotary-Cutter-(45mm-or-60mm) If you watch this video I did show the rotary cutter up close and show you how cool it is. th-cam.com/video/EgUZE1lJAQ4/w-d-xo.html
@@homemadeonourhomestead Thank you. I have to periodically check Amazon for supplies! 😃 I also use rubber bands instead of thread peels because I don't have enough peels. Mine don't recoil completely so I am glad to see the ones you have.
You lost me at bodkins. I have had those same ones for 25 years and they lose my elastic all the time. I always use a safety pin and for more than 60 years I have never lost my elastic. Never had one to pop open and stab me. Is there a new brand you use?
No. It’s a dritz brand. I’ve never had luck with safety pins myself. But that’s the great thing about sewing and crafting-you can use whatever works best for you and your needs. Happy sewing!!!
I have 2 little kids and they wear hooded sweatshirts and pull the cords out all the time. We spend a lot of time at the beach so having a sweatshirt that can snug down on the head to keep their ears warm is a must. Obviously most people dont need to to do this, but I have little ones that like to keep me on my toes :)
The non stick liners for cooking make great pressing mats both underneath and for protecting fabric when pressing/ironing. Great video 👌
Awesome tip! Thank you

I'm so glad I found your site this morning/ give them with a list to look at/I need to write the list down to shop for. 🙏
Wow!! Great ideas! I have never seen several. Thank you.
Thank you
I love to see you helpful gadgets for sewing.You're a good teacher.
Thank you so much!
I watch a lot of tip videos, but this was the most helpful
Oh thank you Rae
Where do you buy a sewing chair and how much
Well done video. I agree with all your supplies.
Never knew about a bodkin 👍🏻🌻
Thank you !
I know they are so awesome!!! Such a simple tool that really simplifies things
There are several types of bodkin, and some are better than others for particular projects. I bought all of them at Joannes. Watch for coupons.
Thank you! I saw some items that I didn't know about previously and MUST buy!
Great idea!
Just wanted to say I use a magnetic seam guide on my computerised sewing machine with no problem, but ymmv. I’ve found it indispensable.
I agree. Love mine too.
I’ve heard mixed things about the magnetic seam guide on computerized machines. Just thought I should mention it at least.

I might have a bodkin possibly in my junk drawer because I thought it was some sort of tweezers!😆
Lol. They do resemble a weird tweezer
🤣🤣🤣
Very helpful like the ideas, pipe cleaners , locking box for needles, peel and snap for threads and bobbins. Great great ideas. Thank you
You are so welcome!
Great video 💝
Thank you Maria :)

If youre machine isnt computerized, id use it. I love my magnetic seam guide so much. Ginghers are the BEST scissors ever. Youre welcome Regina :)
Your needle holder box looks just like my pill keepers.
Yes the needle boxes are just “craft” storage boxes I bought but they for sure resemble pull storage boxes. Not sure what else you could put in them but they work great for needle organization.
I tried a magnetic guide on my old Elna computerized machine, and it really messed with the feed of my thread. As soon as I took it off, it returned to normal.

Thank you for this video! You've answered many questions. The link for the bodkin does not work.. Thanks again for sharing!
You’re very welcome Debbie :)
It looks as if a silicone peel could possibly be used as a thimble....!?
It's pretty thick so you may be able to use it. You can buy silicine thimbles though :)

I tried the sticky seam guides kept falling off never did work for me. I love these ideas
Oh no! Did you contact the company? Which product? the magnetic seam guide or the stick on grid by sew steady?
If it was the sew steady one id reach out to the company. They have had great customer service when I have needed them for my extension tables
Are use an upholstery needle they come in different sizes I am very reasonable
how awesome. glad I could help :)
Did anyone else see medicine containers 😊
Yes, I bought big pill boxes to keep actually my Bobbins in and then at dollar tree I found what looks like a fish tacklebox
Beautiful Treadle Sewing Machine in the background 💕does it work ? Glenn
Yes it sure does :) love to use it for free motion quilting :)
Homemade on our Homestead oh super nice ! It’s a Singer ? Love to see a video of it Sewing !! Glenn
In the video, she mentions when she fuses fusible foam to fusible fleece, what is she using those for? In quilts?
Purses, pouches, wine bags etc
What kind of rotary cutter is that You're using ?
quiltersselect.com/products/Select-Tools/Select-Rotary-Cutter-(45mm-or-60mm)
If you watch this video I did show the rotary cutter up close and show you how cool it is.

My sew steady grid slider no longer sticks to my table. Is there anyway to clean it so that it will adhere to my table without curling up at the edges
Oh no!!! Have you reached out to sew steady?! I haven’t had mine do that but I know they have great customer service!
Let me know how I can help Donna!
You should’ve kept the packaging because it had cleaning instructions on it
Where did you find that inexpensive bodkin? Mine was $8!!
My local hardware store oddly enough. $1.97 dritz brand too
Our Bartell drugs also has them for that price
The price will also drop frequently on Amazon too
@@homemadeonourhomestead That is awesome!!
@@homemadeonourhomestead Thank you. I have to periodically check Amazon for supplies! 😃 I also use rubber bands instead of thread peels because I don't have enough peels. Mine don't recoil completely so I am glad to see the ones you have.
Rubber bands are a great idea too. Definetly a lot cheaper as well. I do love the thread peels but rubber bands are a great alternative

Why would you put a bodkin in your car?
I have 2 little kids and they wear hooded sweatshirts and pull the cords out all the time. We spend a lot of time at the beach so having a sweatshirt that can snug down on the head to keep their ears warm is a must. Obviously most people dont need to to do this, but I have little ones that like to keep me on my toes :)
@@homemadeonourhomestead
You could stitch in the ditch at the top of the hood so the string can't come out.
@@caylor1123 good idea too bad she didn’t read your message
Magnets and computers don’t go together
Exactly! That’s why I made sure I stated that. Glad I’m not the only one to say it :)
Too many darn ads!
Sorry about that.
