There are a lot of tools and supplies that I love to use. Here is an ever expanding list of resources so you can grab them easily for yourself. I find it easier to just get moving on a project if I don’t have to make a decision on the right tools. I’ve done the work for you, this is a starting point. Feel free to ask me WHY I love the things I love…

Etsy Store
Stitch Clinic now has an official Etsy store called Stitch Clinic Press! You can find some knitting printables, sewing printables (coming soon) and some funny t-shirts that I couldn’t help creating! Click on the spool logo to go directly to the store.
Here is an example of the kinds of items in the Stitch Clinic Press Etsy Store:
Knitting Pattern Tracker: Keep track of your place within a knitting pattern. A place to keep important information about the pattern, small changes that were made, any details worth remembering, etc. For any size pattern, just print the extra sheet as many times as needed.
Knitting Abbreviations: Ever find yourself wondering what language knitting patterns are written in? Knitting abbreviations help keep knitting patterns short and to the point. Printable

Bobbins
Bernina Bobbins from Amazon – Check the list of machines before purchasing. Not all Berninas take the same bobbin.
Brother Bobbins from Amazon – There seems to be a few different styles for different ages of machines.
Featherweight (by Singer) Bobbins from Amazon – Make sure you don’t get generic Singer Bobbins they won’t work.
Husqvarna/Viking Bobbins from Amazon – They’re green! I didn’t know that…
Janome Bobbins from Amazon – Top loading bobbins, a bit wider than other brands.
Juki Bobbins from Amazon – Lesser known brand but super sturdy reputation.
Singer Bobbins from Amazon – These are probably the most common variety and easiest to find.
