I was researching embroidery techniques and ran across reference to a Trolley Needle. Appeared quite useful, so I ordered one.
The tool is used for keeping thread flat and in order when doing needlework. I will not be able to use it for a few weeks because I sustained a repetitive stress injury of my hand and wrist.
Another item that I keep in my tool chest is gaffer tape. I wrap it around the edge of hardware cloth to prevent snags and frays of fiber and my hands. I like that it sticks nicely but does not leave a sticky residue.
These are a few panels in progress that may be part of a triptych.
