    Sewing Machines

    Sewing machines, sergers, embroidery…

    Spudger

    Great for opening electronics that weren’t designed to be opened.

    Hole Maker

    >> Obi
    >> Local hardware store

    Craft Iron

    also: iron, quilting iron, mini iron
    Comes in handy when ironing small pieces. Fusing fabrics together.

    Fabric Scissors

    Comfortable, angled grip. Do not use to cut anything but fabrics, this will keep the blades sharp.

    File

    Great for filing perfboards to have smooth edges, that will not fray or cut through conductive thread.

    Wire Wrap Tool
