EPP Essentials - Tools for English Paper Piecing
Everything you reach for in an EPP session - needles, clips, scissors, and a place to park your needle between stitching sessions.
English paper piecing is one of the most portable and satisfying forms of hand sewing - a project bag on the couch, hexagons at the kitchen table, slow stitching on a long flight. The right tools make it even better: a needle that gives you control over every stitch, clips sized for the work, scissors sharp enough for a clean snip, and a needle minder that means you always know where your needle is.
This collection brings together the SOHMO products that EPP makers reach for most:
Needles - Milliner needles are the EPP community’s preferred choice, with their long, uniform shaft that gives control over stitch placement when whipstitching pieces together. Sharps are the reliable all-rounder for sewists who prefer a shorter needle. Both are made in Japan, 20 needles per tin.
Mini Clips - stainless steel clips at 30mm, sized for the precise, delicate work of holding basted EPP shapes together while you stitch. Small enough not to get in the way, strong enough to hold securely through a long session.
Needle Minders - keep your needle safe between sessions without parking it in the fabric. A needle minder sits on your hoop or fabric using a two-part magnetic system, so your needle is always exactly where you left it.
Scissors - the Go-To Small (4") and Matchbox Scissors are both well-suited to EPP: sharp enough for precise thread trimming, compact enough for a travel kit or a project bag on the couch.
