Losing sewing needles happens a lot. Like I have a bunch but I can't seem to find them sometimes.

And other times I lose a color I'm using and it really sucks but I can't use any other. But now I have this spiffy sewing box I got for x-mas that keeps me in check. ;3

Toats work like a charm for me. xD
Just plop it in, write 'Sewing Materials' on the top, snap it on, and slide it under the bed.
Cool as a cat. 8D

I dont have a seam ripper so I use the blades of my scissors... probably not the best answer.

superjaz · « **Reply #7 on:** March 24, 2010, 01:25:41 pm »

my hubby just got me a new one the biggest one he could find. keeping in same spot wasn't an option as the room with my sewing stuff had been emptied so my mom could crash at my place while gettin her radiation treatment for breast cancer. ment stuff was stashed where it could fit... 6 weeks later... i am hunting it to finish a quilt that i think i finally have what i need...

Mine fell to the floor and I haven't found it.

I'm afraid I'm gonna rip open my foot with it one of these days. .

Ouch!

that happened to me yesterday! I still have no idea where it is. I had to use my scissors and it took twice as long as it would have with a seam ripper.

I hate it when I break my seam ripper...

Mine hates me. It likes to hide long enough until I am done with the costume, then it pops up and is like 8D

I'm sorry about that.

shanime_panda · « **Reply #16 on:** March 26, 2010, 06:51:25 pm »

this is incredibly coincidental since just an hour ago I was searching for my seam ripper so I could remove some trim on a dress, I though it was on my table, but I couldn't find it anywhere D:

I ended up just tearing it off.

I have thousands of seam rippers, and I can always seem to find one :s
If I can't, I get Irene to come over, and she lends me a seam ripper~

Konan-ChanX3 · « **Reply #19 on:** April 05, 2010, 05:07:32 pm »

it's a consiracy, that's why.

I lost mine ages ago, I just use a pair of scissors.

superjaz · « **Reply #20 on:** April 05, 2010, 09:34:13 pm »

I have a set of rotery cutters and they scare the Crap out of my husband , he is like "a razor sharp pizza cutter, that is just what you need" I Think he is waiting for me to loose a finger...

Konan-ChanX3 · « **Reply #21 on:** April 05, 2010, 09:36:46 pm »

well, if you lose a finger, make sure to keep it away from the white queen, she'll try to get high off of it.

Kurohime · « **Reply #22 on:** April 06, 2010, 06:16:15 pm »

Get a small case for all of it. I use one of the ones made to hold embroidery thread, and it all fits inside and it's no bigger than a netbook, so I can carry it anywhere. And then LEARN to keep it all in there when it's not in use. (And sew in your stocking feet to reinforce the importance of keeping needles where you can see them!)

And I used to use an X-acto for seam ripping; it works pretty well but if it's too sharp it can chew up your fabric too; the ripper's neater.
