Those of us who love cross stich, embroidery, English Paper Piecing and other hand sewing projects will know how perfect these projects are for long plane trips.
But a lot of us hesitate before popping our projects in our carry-on baggage - there's nothing worse than the thought of having our favourite scissors or sewing needles confiscated at airport security.
Yes! You can take scissors on a plane in Australia, but they must have blunt-ends/rounded tips, with blades that are less than 6cm long. That's why we designed our SOHMO Matchbox Scissors - these tiny scissors measure just 46mm overall, with a blade length of 15mm from tip to pivot screw. SOHMO Matchbox Scissors are much smaller than the maximum allowed scissors, so they make clearing security screening a breeze. Our tiny Matchbox Scissors mean you can sit back and get some sewing done while on your flight, and they're also great just to have in your travel bag, as you never know when you'll need to snip off a tag or trim down a band-aid for blister prevention!

To make the process easier and more efficient, many quilters use clips or pins to hold the binding in place while they sew it down. One popular option for binding clips is SOHMO clips, which are made of high-quality stainless steel. SOHMO clips are specifically designed for quilt binding and are known for their durability, strength, and versatility. They also come in two sizes - regular and mini. One reason why SOHMO clips are considered superior to plastic binding clips is their durability. Plastic clips can break or become damaged easily, especially if they are dropped or subjected to...
Sewing pins are thin, pointed tools used to hold fabric in place while sewing or fitting clothing. They are also known as straight pins or dressmaker's pins. They are usually made of nickel plated steel and feature a flat, ornamental head on one end and a pointy sharp end.Sewing pins can be used to mark fabric, affix pattern pieces to fabric, and hold fabric in place.
