Definitely need to check out the Tulip threader. I have the Clover one and it would not work and now I know why. I use milliners needle as well but in size 10 or 11 and bottom line thread.
I recently started using the silver / gray as well as cream WonderFil InvisaFil thread. My only issue with the thread is that it is so fine, and almost invisible, that unless I am in good light, I can't see where I have already stitched! I had been sewing my EPP with silk thread, and the InvisaFil is quickly becoming my favorite. Though it was shiny on a dark fabric. I am also having trouble with my needle threader wanting to thread the needles with this fine thread. Thanks for putting this together. I am going to try your needle threader to see how it works for me.
Thanks for the recommendations on these products. I have been thinking of getting a needle threaded like the one you recommend here. I've also heard about how limited the Clover one is. Also those thimble pads are a finger saver!! I use one at the spot where I put pressure on my needle & a rubber thimble to push my needle through the fabric. I'm gonna seek some of these products out based on what you said about them here. & love your laugh, as always!!
I use many of the same ones as you use but I also buy beeswax, 6 at a time, as a thread conditioner. They have a plastic piece around the wax with small slits so you can easily run the thread through. I can't tell you how many bent needles I have from needle turn applique. The thinner they are the more bent! Lol! I have been using a Superior brand thread also for EPP but don't remember which one.
I took an empty Eos lip balm container and filled it with melted bees wax. It's lasted over 2 years and still has a ways to go. Have you used the plastic templates?
I love all your notions. Wow what a great tip putting glue in the freezer. Do you also put the glue pen in the freezer? I am going to have to try that one. Thanks for sharing.
Great video Mathew, answered all my questions. I can’t use those smaller needles either, too much muscle as I was bending them too. Lol ❤️ your new fabric line, congratulations 🍾🎈🎉
Do you have a preferred brand for the papers? I was hoping to hear that. I’m thinking that some might not hold up as well to the moisture from the glue stick since that’s a new technique that they might not have been designed for.
My favorite notion besides you Mathew is the self threading needles. I can not thread a needle anymore unless I have a magnifying glass. Thank you for sharing your favs!!
I make my own leather thimbles. Get some thin supple leather off an old thrifted bomber jacket, and make them custom as needed. You just start with a semicircle of leather and stab stitch it to fit snugly around your finger, and gather stitch the top curve to fit over your fingernail. They last a very long time, but when they do wear out it's pretty easy to make more, and they're super comfortable because they're always custom made.
This link didn't work for me, it asked me if I wanted to create a wordpress site!: "For a list of the notions in this video, head to my blog: wordpress.com/post/misterdome.."
Your videos never fail to make me happy. I love your work, your "energy" and your personality so much! These notions are my top notions, too!
Love your glue in the freezer tip. Try gutermann thread! 💖

What a great video! Love all the hand-sewing gadgets-especially that needle threader!
Look at that gorgeous fabric under all those fun notions❤️😉 can’t wait until I can buy some!!!!!!
Thanks for demo-ing the products. Gave a greater appreciation for why you have preferences. Love that Tulip needle threader!
I’m just picking this up, after years of quilting I wanted a bit of a change. Very helpful video
Love to hear someone else bend the needles. Thanks for the tips.
Nice to see I have all of your items and totally agree with your observation on needles
Glue in the freezer.... that is a fabulous tip!
Mister Domestic I’m sticking mine in the freezer as we speak!

YAY! Thanks, Mr. Wizard of EPP! Learned something about the sewing needles. ;-)

Brilliant! Thank you!
AWESOME information as always. Thanks for sharing.

It's all that iron you're pumping! Wonderful video and thank you, muscley sewer :D
Great tips. Ty for sharing...the glue in the freezer is a great idea.
Have you used silk thread at all?
When you say “Muscle-ly Sewist” I think if those firemen calendars but they’re crafting instead of holding puppies.

Thank you
This is so great I was going to ask you after watching your other EPP videos 😂
Clover Needle Dome is your threaded needleholder
Great Tips. Has anyone run into an all leather thimble? I wish I could use those little pads.
I have one, bought quite a while ago. I recall they came in different sizes.
You can buy them on line

@@Marialla. I have made several using old leather gloves. Sometimes all I need to do is cut off the finger tips and use them.
