TOOLS AND MATERIALS
Measuring Tools

Marking Tools
Tracing Wheel- is a marking tool with saw tooth blade used to transfer the
marks from the pattern paper to the cloth.
Tailor’s Chalk- this is an orange colored hard square wax used for marking
guidelines or sewing lines in fabric
Tracing Paper- this is used with the tracing wheel to transfer marks from the
patter paper to the cloth
Soft Pencil- this is used in drawing lines in pattern construction.

Sewing Tool
Needle- is a sewing tool that has one sharp end and a hole at the other end
to make the thread pass through. They come in different sizes and are used
in sewing to pass the thread through the cloth either by hand or machine.
Three types of needles are sharps (longest with round eyes for general sewing),
crewels (next in length with slender eyes for darning and embroidery), and
between (the shortest needles with round eyes for fine sewing in tailoring or
dressmaking).
a. Long darner- long thick needle suitable for mending holes of heavy
fabrics
b. Cotton darners (fine points)- used for darning, suitable for delicate
yarns such as cotton and silk
c. Beading needles- Very long and fine with a sharp point; used for
decorative work, particularly for attaching beads and sequins.
d. Curved needles- Needles used in sewing mattress and doing
upholstery work.
e. Ball point needles (round point)- used between knit yarn fibers.
f. Straws- longer needles than between; used for tracking
g. Tapestry needles- strong, thick needles that have a sturdy, blunt
point; suitable for working tapestry and needle point projects.
h. Embroidery Crewel Needles- Sharp, medium length needles with long
eye through which strands of embroidery thread are needed.
i. Glovers/ Leather hand needles- Sturdy three sided needles with
round eye suitable for piercing both leather and strong plastic fabrics.
j. Pins- Tiny sewing tools with sharp pointed tip used for a variety of
purposes such as holding pattern pieces in place, fit fabric or garment
on the body, hold fabric together, and secure lace, sequins or beads.
k. Dressmaker’s pins- One and one-sixth inches long; used in all sorts of
garment sewing.
l. Glass headed pins- Pins with colored ball shaped heads; used for
marking and decorating crafts.
m. Safety pins- Available in different sizes, these pins come with a safe
cover for the pointed part to prevent it from jabbing the skin.
Pin Cushion- it is used to keep needles and pins in place when not in use.
Emery bag- is similar to a pin cushion but with rougher content such as finely
ground broken plate or very fine dried sand to sharpen the tips of pins and
needles and to prevent them from getting rust.
Thread- is used for stitching cloth either by hand or machine and comes in
different colors and thickness. It can also be used for surface decoration.
Thread can be made of cotton, nylon, or silk. Sizes may range from 40 (heavy
sewing, thicker thread) to 100 (finer thread for sheer materials such as silk or
organza). Number 50 is commonly used for hand sewing. Threads are sold in
skeins (embroidery), cones, spools, and balls.
Needle Threader- aids in inserting the thread into the eye of the needle.
6
Thimble- a small, durable, protective cap made of metal or plastic, used to
protect the finger from being pricked when pushing the needle through the
cloth.
