Magnetic Line Keeper |
This little gadget is in my top five list of things I really count on to make my stitching more comfortable. I've had one in my stitching bag for a long time now and don't know how I got along without it before I discovered it. I was already using a magnet board with the little ruler and it was helpful but the Magnetic Line Keeper was icing on the cake!
The magnets on the four corners of the acrylic are incredibly strong so it doesn't move around on the magnet board unless you move it yourself. The best thing about this little gem is that it has two intersecting red lines so you know exactly where you are. The extra PLUS is you also can see where you are going and where you have been. I couldn't cross stitch without it, especially on larger, more complex pieces.
A version of the line keeper with a magnifier is also available. It has a circle shaped magnifier over the center that is an inch and a half in diameter. I haven't personally used it because I don't need magnification, YET!
