12 best laying tools
Laying tools, in the context of notions, quilting, sewing, and arts and crafts, refer to a variety of instruments and devices used to assist with fabric manipulation, pattern marking, and other tasks in these creative and practical activities. These tools can be essential for achieving precision and accuracy in sewing and crafting projects. Here are some common laying tools:
Straight Pins: These are thin, pointed metal pins with a decorative head used to temporarily hold fabric layers together during sewing. They come in various lengths and thicknesses.
Seam Gauge: A small ruler with a sliding marker that helps in measuring and marking consistent seam allowances. It's especially handy for sewing straight seams.
Pattern Weights: These are heavy objects or weights used to hold down patterns on fabric when cutting out pattern pieces. They prevent the pattern from shifting while you trace or cut around it.
Chalk or Fabric Marking Pens: These tools are used to make temporary marks on fabric for sewing guidelines or pattern adjustments. They can be easily removed with water or by erasing.
Rotary Cutter: A rotary cutter is a circular blade tool used for cutting fabric with precision. It's often used with a cutting mat to protect surfaces and ensure clean cuts.
Sewing Gauge: Similar to a seam gauge but with additional features, it helps measure and mark hems, buttonhole placements, and other sewing details with accuracy.
Tape Measure: A flexible measuring tool used for taking body measurements, measuring fabric lengths, and ensuring precise sizing in sewing projects.
Hem Gauge: This is a specialized tool designed to assist in folding and measuring fabric for hemming purposes. It ensures even and consistent hems.
Bodkin: A bodkin is a long, slender tool used for threading elastic, ribbon, or drawstrings through casings in clothing or other fabric items.
Awl: An awl is a pointed tool used for making holes in fabric, leather, or other materials. It's often used to mark stitching points or create small openings for buttonholes.
Tracing Wheel: This tool has a spiked wheel that transfers patterns or markings from paper to fabric by rolling it over the paper while it's positioned on the fabric.
Needle Threader: A small tool that helps thread needles, especially helpful for those with visual impairments or when working with fine threads.
Thimble: A protective cap or shield worn on the finger to push needles through tough fabric layers without injuring the finger.
These laying tools are essential for anyone involved in sewing, quilting, or crafting. They help ensure accuracy, speed up the process, and contribute to the overall quality of the finished project.

Product description
This classic beaded hair stick features a lovely dark purple Tensha bead with a blue floral design. But be advised that the end is sharpened to a point because I have crafted this lovely piece to be used primarily as a laying tool for needlepoint or sewing stiletto. If you would like one WITHOUT a sharp point, just contact me through Amazon; I'll be happy to make some for you; It can also be used as a shawl pin.
The laying tool is approximately 7.25 inches (18.42 cm), as shown in the photo, but each one may vary slightly. The color of the wood may also vary, but I do my best to keep them as close to the photographed one as possible.
The laying tool (also called a stiletto) is a basic in any needlepointer's tool set. It allows one to keep threads flat, untwisted, and separated, producing a smooth, professional stitch. (see the last photo) It can also be used in cross stitch and other forms of needle work where multiple strands of thread, or threads that can become twisted, are used. I've added a little glamour and glitz to this needlework standard. The photo of the pointed end is an actual picture of one of my laying tools.
A stiletto can also make life much easier for quilters and anyone who sews! Use the stiletto to ease fabric through the presser foot and to keep from getting caught up in the feed dogs. It can also be used to push out corners in the corners of sewn items.
