Before you start your embroidery project, you'll want to have a few embroidery accessories on hand, including embroidery scissors, an embroidery hoop, and a needle threader. Another handy item to consider is an embroidery organizer or tote to store your project and make it easy to carry along with you while it's still a work in progress. You can find all of these items and more in the Embroidery Supplies section of the store.
