Easy to Choose, Easy to Succeed
On this page, you will also find tips for choosing the right supplies. We’ll guide you on which elastic is best for children's clothing, which needle works best for jersey fabrics, and when a concealed zipper is your best option. This ensures your sewing progresses smoothly and the final result looks exactly as it should.
Needles and Threads: The Foundation of a Neat Stitch
A high-quality sewing machine needle makes sewing smoother and easier. Schmetz needles are a reliable choice for jersey, stretch fleece, and thicker materials alike. Every sewist’s nightmare—the skipped stitch—is almost always preventable with the combination of an intact needle and good-quality thread.
Needle Types:
- Universal: A great all-purpose needle.
- Stretch: For fabrics containing elastane.
- Jersey: For loosely woven and knitted fabrics.
- Overlock: Specifically for sergers/overlockers.
- Microtex: A sharp-pointed needle for fabrics like outdoor technical wear.
- Jeans: For denim and Topstitch needles for stronger threads.
- Twin Needles: Available in Universal and Stretch for finishing hems.
Elastics, Binding Tapes, and Cords
The right elastic is a small but vital part of a garment's functionality. Use pre-cut ribbing tape to finish necklines neatly. Choose from various tapes and cords to find the easiest way to finish your project. Our selection includes:
- Soft lingerie elastics and boxer waistband elastics.
- Wide, firm elastics for trousers.
- Elastane bands are suitable for those with rubber allergies.
- Buttonhole elastics for easy size adjustment.
- Reflective tapes, fold-over elastics, and cords for a polished finish.
Hook-and-Loop, Snaps, and Fasteners
Hook-and-loop tape (Velcro) keeps workwear and other textiles in place easily and securely, without dangerous or loose parts. Snaps are an incredibly convenient choice for children's clothing, while buttons offer a stylish, classic look for formal wear.
Premium Quality Aplix Hook-and-Loop
Aplix is a professionally tested fastener that withstands industrial washing and heavy use. It is especially suited for cloth diapers, children's clothes, accessories, and other applications where durability is required.
Prym Snaps and Fastening Tools
Prym snaps are easy to attach using either pliers or the Creative Tool. Metal snaps are perfect for clothing, bags, and accessories. The traditional ring snap is a durable and clean-looking option.

Tips for Choosing the Right Supplies
Which elastic is best?
Soft elastane bands are ideal for children, sensitive skin, and those with rubber allergies. A wide, firm elastic provides the best support for the waistband of trousers or leggings.
Button or Snap?
For formal wear, a traditional button is often the most elegant solution. For everyday wear, snaps are faster and more durable.
How do I finish a neckline neatly?
Use fold-over elastic or ribbing tape; they provide stretch and a professional finish. You can also cut a binding strip from your own fabric.
How do I choose the right zipper?
-
Concealed zipper → Dresses and formal wear.
-
Separating zipper → Hoodies, jackets.
-
Continuous chain → When you need a specific, custom length.

Size labels are a must-have for all self-made clothes. Every sewist's toolkit should also include sharp fabric shears and a handy seam ripper.
