More Handy Gadgets

Two more handy-dandy items I repeatedly use are Dritz Fray Check to discourage thread whiskers (this for small projects like the Sophisticated Trio of Handbag Accessories--small projects where thread whiskers growing would be noticeable) and the Clover Mini Iron. The Mini Iron is also suited to the small spaces, such as turning under 1/4" hems where your full-size iron can more easily burn your fingers or block your vision. As I mentioned in a previous post, I use The Warm Company's Steam-A-Seam 2 quite frequently, and the mini iron is ideal for tacking strips into position.
