The Upholstery Forum

Hello, i have a question for the veterans on this forum. what are some cool gadgets and things that you cannot live without? I love seeing people using things to make their lives easier but still being new to the industry I don't know what's helpful and what's junk, so where else then here to ask the question.

This one is not that remarkable but I can't read the markings on needles without getting out jewelers glasses so I keep a large magnet on each machine and keep the needle pack for the size I have in the machine stuck to it. Also keep them handy for when you break one. On machines that aren't magnetic I sew a little pocket just big enough for a needle pack and hang it off the thread guide pin on top of the machine.

thanks, sandman I'll have to add that to my list. someone should make amazon wish list full of things of that nature lol.
