Just like a gardener with his hoes and shovels and spades, a wannabe seamstress needs a bewildering array of implements before the sewing can begin. And even once you’ve got them, you want more, more more. Pins, needles, pin cushions, needle cases, threads, thread scissors, fabric scissors... the list goes on.
If, however, I were left on a desert island with the Machine (this desert island has a plug socket) and was only allowed to take three things from the list with me, the choice would be easy. Everyone likes a threesome. Like the three blind mice, the Star Wars trilogy (the sequel before the prequel) and desserts in posh restaurants, the best things always come in trios. Most people know about scissors, paper, stone but to be honest that’s a bit last decade. The ten-ties are all about Scissors, Tape Measure, Unpicker, the Holy Trinity of the sewing toolbox that takes us rushing us straight back into Capital Letter country.
