Do you have a favorite needlework tool that you like to work with? What is it and why do you like using it?
My favorite tools are my cheetah-handled embroidery scissors and my pretty dololly that I got on eBay a couple years ago (I just looked, and unfortunately the person I got mine from doesn't have any listed). I don't use the dololly very often, but when I need it, I'm sure glad I have it. Unfamiliar with them? You know how sometimes you stitch until the thread is just too short to easily tuck it under to secure it? Or how sometimes a thread is accidentally pulled loose and there's no way to get it into a needle to fix it? Enter the dololly. The combination of the super fine wire and the hook work miracles, really. I wouldn't be without it, especially when working over one on small stitch-count fabrics. It's a life saver.

Thank you! I'd wondered what on earth you do with those! :)
