This week’s Giveaway, Karen Kay Buckley’s Shorter Perfect Pins, are extremely fine and flexible 1″ pins. They can be a bit tricky to use, so if in doubt, click this link to go to a video with tips for using them.

I’ll be back with another Giveaway next Wednesday. Until then you can shop for all sorts of sewing notions, books, and other fun stuff at pieceocake.com!

Jen Kingwell makes a great tool to add a precise 1/4 inch seam allowance to a finished template—the Simple Seam Wheel – this week’s Wednesday Giveaway!

Place the Simple Seam Wheel next to a finished-size template, put a sharp pencil in the hole, run the wheel around the template to add a 1/4″ seam allowance.

As In the Patch no longer produces their Hand Dyed Wool Thread, we only have a few cards left. This week’s winner – Kare – will receive three of them: Prim Pumpkin, Spearmint and Honey! This thread is a blend of wool and nylon. The nylon adds strength to the thread and the wool contributes a “fuzzy” texture, making it blend end on the edges of wool applique pieces.

FYI: The Lori Mitchell cat figure is not part of the giveaway, but he is very cute 🙂.

Clover’s Black Gold Applique Needle is a size 12 sharp. And when we say sharp, we mean it! I quote one happy user: “love love these needles. They are wonderfully sharp. I have poked my fingers lots and lots. love love love them.” We are sure this week’s winner will love love love them too!

More information about these needles and all the types of needles we carry can be found on our website here.

This week’s winner, Annebett44, will receive a pack of Colonial’s Leather ThimblePads, one of several thimble products we carry in our store. (Click here to view all the options.)

This leather pad sticks to your fingers with a strong adhesive. You can reuse it many times. It is thick enough to protect your finger but is somewhat flexible.

I use a thimble pad on the fingertip of my needle-holding hand.
