These are tools supplies and materials that you may need to have on hand for training.

Tools: Scissors - The worst beating that I ever got from my lovely grandma was when I used her scissors to cut a piece of plastic. She explained to me that there are Cloth Scissors and other scissors. You only cut cloth with cloth scissors. I still have a limp from that lesson.The bottom line is if you have a pair of scissors that you plan on using on cloth, only use them on cloth. Cutting anything else with dull them and you will never keep them sharp. For embroidery you will need at least two pair of scissors. I have listed two below that I recommend, you may want to shop around and find a good quality pair.
