(Maybe that's you!) The tools are: a thread cutter, a needle threader, and a magnetic needle minder. The thread cutter and the needle threader are designed to be used with the locket closed, minimizing fumbling. The magnetic needle minder comes in two parts that can be placed on either side of a piece held in a quilting or embroidering frame, or they can be set aside in a convenient place. The copper has a subtle natural patina covered with a sealant so that the patina will not come off on clothing. The 30-inch chain is lightweight anodized aluminum. Shorter or longer chains can be substituted on request.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eThe needle threader is a standard needle threader and can be easily replaced as needed.

Inspired by my legions of needleworking friends, relatives, and ancestors.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eA while back, a friend challenged me to design a piece of jewelry that combines the functions of thread cutter, needle threader, and needle minder. The result is the Fiber Artist Locket. This one features a dendritic agate with a lovely plant-like inclusion and colors ranging from orange to pink.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eThe thread cutter and the needle threader can be used without opening the locket. To cut a thread, simply pull it through one of the slots at the bottom of the locket. The needle threader hides inside the bail of the locket (the part that hangs on the chain) and can be used by pulling it to one side.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eInside the locket, you'll find two little silver circles with magnets inside them. This is your needle minder. Put one of the magnets on the front of your piece and one on the back, and keep track of your needle by placing it on the top magnet. Also inside the locket are the blade for the thread cutter and the needle minder, both of which can be replaced with standard parts (a 28mm rotary cutting blade and any wire-style needle threader).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe locket is on a 30-inch handmade chain so it can be used while you're wearing it without struggling or squinting.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eA perfect gift for the quilter, embroiderer, or knitter in your life (or for yourself!).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Idle Gauds Jewelry and Metals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52340929298708,"sku":null,"price":580.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4403\/9188\/files\/il_fullxfull.6574302192_lua3_beab4add-e3c6-4ea4-a355-6e2a2a788263.jpg?v=1781116120"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4403\/9188\/collections\/il_fullxfull.6614446323_dixo.jpg?v=1776095648","url":"https:\/\/idlegauds.com\/collections\/needle-holders-thread-cutters-and-functional-jewelry.oembed","provider":"Idle Gauds Jewelry and Metals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
