  • Supplies for making crafts

Tail catchers are useful for securing and neatening stray and loose threads on the reverse of embroideries etc. The wire loop slides under existing stitching until it is next to the loose tail of thread. The hook is threaded through the loop, catching the tail, and then the loop is pulled back to bury the tail in the work.

Both parts of the tool are joined by a small silver chain keeping both parts together.

An unusual gift for embroiderers!

Within the UK, I post out parcels using Royal Mail Tracked 48 Service.

Works perfectly for tucking in a thread that is too short to use a needle on or a snag in a sweater.
