@@cindyl7469 A clapper is a long, oval wooden tool that you “clap” onto ironed or pressed seams. Using this tool provides really flat seams. I have 2 different sizes. I love them!
@@cindyl7469 It’s a heavy piece of wood rectangle shape that you use immediately after pressing to set a seam, or a fold. It dissipates the heat into the wood, and creates a crisp solid fold, much better than an iron can do on its own.
I was really hoping to see something I don’t already have… I have both the small and drapery sized hem gauges. I love them! I guess I don’t need to buy anything else right now. My husband will be happy 🤣🤣🤣.
The needle puller is new to me. I will have to look for one of those! My Bernina came with a "height adjustment tool" which is in effect an adjustable hump jumper. It is so handy for those lumpy spots.
Many hump jumpers are included with sewing machine feet, but not referred to under that name. They will often call them a needle inserted. It’s a hump jumper with a hole, which holds the sewing machine needle in place while tightening the screw. Very handy!
To add to the list- A pattern notcher! You can find them for a variety of prices but I’ve seen them sold for as low as $5. It’s literally just a rectangular hole punch, nothing fancy. It’s so so useful for when you have a paper pattern that’s too opaque to see the registration marks through to the other side. When you clip into the notches, you know exactly where your notches go when the pattern is flipped. It’s a very specialized tool and not exactly necessary but I can’t live without mine now
Purely by coincidence, I have a button hole tool set in my Amazon cart right now. I was watching a garment sewing video a few days ago and realized that I didn't have this item in my sewing arsenal and would soon be needing one. I like the needle grabber and will be looking for one of those also. Thanks for another great video!
Check your accessories. I have a Singer Quantum 9960 that I purchased for about $300 a few years ago and it came with the hump jumper. Also she forgot to mention that the little hole that you see on it where you put your needle through to help you insert it into your machine
@@AdirondackRuby A lot of people have that in their accessory box just never knew what it was. If you still have your manual it should list the accessories that came with it. Hope you find it because it is helpful
A clapper is another one, works so well to set seams.
What is a clapper?

For garment sewers I recommend a tailor's panto-graph for buttonhole and button spacing everyone needs a tailor's clapper.
Add a lighted magnifier!
Yes those LED light strips I have some as well. Because almost no machine on the market comes with decent lighting

Consider it a compliment that you have good sense.

I need a needle pulled. I’m glad to learn of it.

You forgot a very important feature on that hump jumper. That tiny hole is what you used to help you insert your needle into your machine
These are great! Definitely need to get a pack of needle pullers ASAP.

I have to get a hem gauge. Thanks for sharing Tova.
Just be mindful that seam gauge gets really hot

Great list of additional tools we need in our arsenal! I, personally, need to add the buttonhole cutter. Thank you, Professor Pincushion 😊
I have always been a clothes pin gal but after seeing a bodkin in action, I think that will be $5 well spent.
A pressing cloth , silk organza is nice and around $10. I love a awl too, again very reasonably priced.
Thank you for sharing
Never heard of the "hump jumper" before.

@dcwatashi Interesting. I have an old Brother machine (bought in the the early 2000s), but I'll have a look.

@@dcwatashi Yeah, it sounds like it. I could have definitely used it a few times. Crossing my fingers. Happy Sewing.
