BEST video ever on how to travel with your projects. I work a lot on the go, I even keep a lot of supplies in my vehicle. This was so well done and I will incorporate some of the ideas you have shared. Glad to have found your channel for this and other beautiful projects. Thank you for sharing.

Welcome back! I’m so glad you got to take a holiday trip…I so enjoy your videos….you inspire us with your EPP.. Thanks again for sharing your tips!!

I always carry a thimble and couple quart size ziplock bags with me just in case I need them as well. I carry a bag daily when I go to babysit my grandson and work on them during nap time. So in the evening, I double check to see if I have all the supplies I need for the next day. If you are doing anything with glue, I recommend a small package of baby wipes.

Ps: I LOVED your holiday video, it made me cry. I think I lived there in another life. My father was from Durham. You are so sweet xx 🇳🇿💋

I agree with almost all your tips except the light simply because I lost most of my sight 6 years ago and sew almost totally by feel now. I’m glad I found I could sew without needing my sight as what little I have is deteriorating steadily… sometimes it feels like I’m sewing with an invisible needle and thread. I’m just off to see if I can source a bobbinator as that looks like it will be easier than my current method. I love my clover domed case. I do need to make a few pouches before my next travels. The only other thing I add is a couple of cheap “button” magnets to hold my pieces in place while I’m sewing and as a place to rest my needle when I stop. I tend to be travelling by train so the last thing I need is to drop anything.

Hi Emma … KZfaq is my go to place for information, entertainment and support. I’ve recently found your videos and I’m so glad to see and hear you discussing hand work. Your suggestions for sewing tools is very helpful. There’s one more item that I would suggest .. I find that I can so easily ‘lose’ my needle no matter how careful I try to be. The little stinkers like to roll away! Keeping an expanding magnet nearby is a great way to keep my sewing space safe … as well as not waste time finding a needle that has strayed. Thank you again and again! 🧵

Beautiful. Everything including Thomas Harding house.

What a lovely travelogue. Thank you.

Wonderful tips and thanks so much for sharing your trip with us!

New subscriber here from across the pond. I have binge-watched your channel and have to say you’re a lovely creative young lady. I appreciate and enjoy seeing all of your great projects and tips. Keep up the beautiful work!

Thank you so much for the traveling tips and for the clips of your trip at the end.

Your videos are so relaxing.

Emma ! . . . . , thank you so much for these suggestions ! . . . . , You are so good at this !

Just found your channel I’m very inspired to use up all the pieces of material I have stored. Thanks

Those were wonderful ideas! I often use little zipper pouches for my projects and usually carry one in my purse. I thought your hex petals and quilt blocks were particularly pretty! It's amazing how a bit of needlework of most any kind can comfort and soothe the mind and soul. I take mine anywhere I go. I have a flat plastic case that I keep some tiny hex pieces in and that fits in my purse also. Sometimes after work, I just park the car somewhere quiet and stitch. Thank as always for your unique ideas and perfectly, pleasant inspirations!

Emma, I just love your videos! Thanks so much for sharing!

Great video very informative

I just picked up a great zippered case meant for a first aid kid but it has all sorts of compartments inside that will hold tools. When it is opened all the way it provides a nice flat surface on my lap. It was only $3.99 US and I had a $5 credit!

Hi Emma, just found you through Just Get It Done, Karen. One tip for air travelers, or if you forgot/lost your scissors is to use the cutter on your dental floss to cut your thread. Ty for all of your tips, I will be following you on KZfaq and your Blog. Thank you for your sweet, peaceful spirit and encouragement!

I always look forward to your newsletters and KZfaq videos 🧵🪡✂️🌹

I just used the clover needle holder and LOVE it for travel. It's so hard to thread needles in the car. It's quite a luxury to have a bunch of them loaded. I take a camping headlight when I travel so I can always see to sew or read. I like the bobbin holder and may get one bt generally just use a neutral color thread for all my English paper piecing. It is a challenge to keep it from tangling. I usually use a pice of tape. England looks lovely! Maybe someday I will visit .......

Loved all of your tips. I really enjoyed your video and seeing the lovely thatched roof cottages and the quilts.

Thank you - great video and gave me the hints I needed to sew on the go..

I envy your vacation it was beautifull. love that gorgous cottage and all those pretty flowers. when I look at the old quilts it makes me soooooooooo thankfull for all of the fabrics we have available to us now. thanks for the vidio you had some great ideas. Linda

Loved these tips! Beautiful getaway!

Great tips!

Great tips Emma tfs

Thanks for the great tips and handy gadgets.I have just ordered the clover needle case to add to my sewing box 🧵. It was great to see you back I really enjoy your podcasts.

Just wonderful especially the scenery at the end.

What a really helpful video. A big thank you. :)

Yes yes I love my dome needle case ☘️

Lovely quilts and you clearly got a lot of benefits from going on your holiday.

I would encourage anyone to take a collapsible mechanics magnet tool thing I bought one in the thrift store but a lot of times you can find them in the hardware section or Harbor Freight. They also have at Harbor Freight does little magnetic trays that you can use to hold bolts and nuts and they're small enough that I figured you probably put on it in a bag

I have that exact light (the free-standing one), and I agree - it’s a great gadget!

That needle holder was great. I've never seen that. And I really like the bobbin holder. Thank you for sharing

Hello! I hope you had a joyful day! I just got out of my sewing room and sat down to watch your video. I'm enjoying your content and love to learn new things. I hope you have a fabulous week ahead! Thank you for sharing this video and your time.

Such useful tips thank you!

Thank you for the travel tips and sharing your holiday pictures with us! I have learned so much from your channel ❤️

Your videos always make my day :) thank you for sharing your valuable time with us all

Hi Emma, thank you for the tips when travelling. I will definitely look into purchasing the needle holder. Your holiday looks amazing 😊💞

Excellent! I really enjoyed your video and the travel tips were great. Now, it’s time to gather and plan a trip! Thank you for the inspiration!

Your Liberty fabric is so pretty, it’s very hard to find it here in the US! I’ve picked up EPP again and realized I have a lot to learn about making my stitches less visible! TYSM for the fantastic inspiration!

Another great vlog .......as always ......you had time away xxx.....love the little scissors......and the needle storage ......its on me wish list ......great tips Emma thank you so much xxx

Thank you Emma for a great video. Your voice and demeanour is so calming. Love your projects and videos.

Glad your back! Been missing you and your great tips in your Sweet voice!!!,

Thank you for sharing your tips, I go away in a camper van and take my sewing with me so your tips will really help, glad you had a lovely holiday. The garden looked really beautiful and the quilts gorgeous. Lovely to see.x

Wonderful tips and super handy notions to add to my list!! What a lovely getaway!! It is my dream to visit England one day!!! Thanks fo sharing!!

Hi Emma It’s lovely to see you and so glad you enjoyed your time away. This video was brilliant with so many good ideas. I loved the tiny scissors and such a clever little tool to have in your away sewing kit, and in a tiny case, brilliant. See you soon take care little Family. 👵x

It was lovely to catch up with you again. Thank you for all your tips for travelling. I love my Clover needle holder and must look into the bobbin storer. That looks so very handy and I love how you can use the thread without taking it from it's storage. It is quite something to be able to take holidays once again. Like you we are travelling by car to most places but as I am the driver my sewing has to be done at our destinations. xx

Hello Emma! Thanks for this lovely and useful video! I progress slowly in Epp and I love it! Take care of you Best regards from Belgium 🇧🇪! XXX

What a nice trip you had. Your tips were so well thought out and explained. I have a clip light very similar to yours. I just love it. I used to get to stitch a lot in the car and had a set up similar to yours. Any more I can't get out much. I keep a small bag set up to take from room to room in the house.

Hi Emma, so nice to see you again. I was wondering where you were but so glad you had a well deserved holiday. I loved your video, the tips are very handy to know and when you think of it, logical. Sturdy containers are the go; one does not want to be fishing around on the car floor looking for lost bits! Best wishes, thanks again 🇳🇿☺️

Thank you for the great tips. I haven’t been away for 3 years so planning on finding an epp kit as I am new to this and not many supplies, to take away with me on the ferry and our drive to the south of England in a few weeks. Also love the needle and thread ideas. Must start my shopping and packing!

Lovely to have you back, in really enjoyed this video and what a beautiful place you visited for your holiday! I have a light I got from Amazon called the Glocusent round neck reading light which my friend told me about, it's been a life saver when cross stitching and I would definitely recommend this for any sewist....it's portable and rechargable and has 3 light settings. I'd be lost without it!!! Happy stitching and have a lovely week!! Samantha xxx

Hi Emma, lovely ideas! I've not seen quite a lot of the gadgets so will have to look into them! Improving my portable storage is a must...I tend to keep my patchwork in open vintage shopping baskets and last time I left a local quilting day I found my white Liberty lawn blowing about the car park 😳. Luckily, no-one had driven over it!! Lesson learned!!

Great video!! I was hoping you would say what that light was. I’m going to a quilt retreat, and I’m looking for a good light to have on my table. Thank you!

Thanks Emma, some really good ideas and love all your little gadgets especially the dinky little scissors. Your video of your holiday was so lovely, chocolate box cottages, the quilts were perfect, I guess you made them ? Fabulous calming lovey video, Thankyou Emma. XX 💖 😊 ps maybe foxgloves on a project soon. 😊

Thanks good gadgets

Great tips! Love your videos, just found your channel and you’ve inspired me to try EPP again (bought my paper hexagons and glue stick and then never did anything 🤦🏻‍♀️) I’ve also started the quilt as you go project with the help of my daughters! 🥰 Thank you for such relaxing and inspiring videos!

Enjoyed your video Emma. I wish I could stitch whilst travelling but when I've tried, I always have a migraine. I make up for it though when we stop! Your holiday looked great, very peaceful and just the place to rejuvenate. Looking forward to those petals next time. X

These are all great tips! I wish I could get my hands on that Clover needle gadget, it looks like the most useful thing! What I’m making for my ‘portable’ EPP/sewing endeavors is a traveling pouch by redhandledscissors. I really like that pouch because it’s the perfect size to throw on a bag, and I can fit my needle case (the one from your tutorial! I love it and my sister asked me to make her one), a couple of tin boxes similar to the Altoids, glue, small scissors, and it also has another space to store the blocks you’ve finished (I think it’s for 1’ flowers blocks).

Thank you for all the ideas!!! The only thing I would add is have a waterproof pouch to hold your work when at the beach/seaside. It is amazing how damp your work can get!!

hey Emma , welcome back great to see u . Hope u had a great holiday . I bought a bag from amazon and have all my epp in it . I`m going to go on holiday in july for a convention and will be sitting alot so i`m planning to take my epp and sew while their .I hate to just sit my hands get restless .

Wonderful tips! I love that clover needle case and the bobbinator. They make traveling with my sewing so much easier. My favorite lighting suggestion is to get a lamp that sits around your neck. They are available on Amazon for a reasonable price and are great as you don't need to find a place to set or clip it. Mine is rechargeable and has different light settings. Best of all it doesn't bother people around me as the light is directed right at my project!

Great video! How ever I would strongly advise not to sew while car is in motion. Fine if taking when camping or beach where ever. But it can be dangerous while in motion. I had an needle go right through my finger and had to be pulled out. Painful. Save sewing for when your not driving. Or I mean a passenger…. And have fun taking it with you just not in motion. And it could make you car sick. Beautiful house and garden I would love to visit London I been to Scotland but have yet to go to London in the country side.

Sounds like you had a nice holiday, glad to hear that you managed to get away. I recently went for a weekend break in Poland and I took my knitting as was unsure of the scissors etc… I did one line on my knitting all weekend 😂

Talking of planning a few years ago I went back to Scotland (from New Zealand) and cut out enough bits to put together some blocks but did not plan very well as I cut some out the wrong way so that was the end of that project and went out and bought an embroidery sampler which I never finished. How I wished I had checked what I had planned to do properly and I would have had all my blocks finished ready to quilt. Enjoy your videos very much

Hi Emma, just found your chanel " Wow" what a talented lady you are, in truth I'm lost for words you just make me want to make every thing... Thank you, thank you for sharing your talent with us viewers, the world is a much better place with you in it... I live in the northeast of England and wondered if you could let me know where you buy your foam, hexagon shapes from please. Thank you again❤️🤗

Good Evening, Emma! It looks like you visited such a beautiful vacation spot! The scenery was lovely! Thank You for all the good tips! I pretty much do the same things that you recommend. I am interested in the slim, flat light that’ll you showed. I have an Otto light, & it is just too bulky, & heavy to carry when I am traveling. I would appreciate any information you can give me. Have a great week! See you soon!

Hi 👋 I’m so sorry I haven’t been here in agges xx

I've been busy watching a lot of your videos since discovering your channel last week. They are all so good! I looked in the description box and don't see any recommendations on where you found your cute little thread snips....? And the needle holder for pre-threaded needles....? Thanks for the great recommendations. 😊

I love you videos I have just started EPP after 30 or more years of large quilts I need something small and I take my sewing everywhere. Could just tell me where you got your Wham storage box from please like how there different size compartments. Thank you Jan. almost finished a hexi needle case. Lovely project

Thanks for all the great advice, Emma. I would love to buy a rechargeable light like the one you show at 13.29. Please could you tell me where you bought it? Many thanks as always xx

I use a headlamp

❤

Hi Emma! Can you use regular card stock paper for the EPP templates? Great tips!

I’m in America and we travel in an RV so longer trips great for smaller projects. Thanks for the tips! I’m older so have some arthritis, do you have any tips for position of your hands to do less stress on them?

Where did you buy the tiny scissors? LOVE them!

Hope you and your family had a great holiday, the scenery was stunning Emma😁. It was a very helpful video. How strange is that I was looking at the threaded needle wheel only today, but the price put me off🙄. I noticed you had a quilt started is the one I would like to do. It's the one with the honeycomb pieces in. Can I ask where you got the pattern please. It's lovely to see you and I look forward to seeing your next one. Stay safe Dear🤗

Hi! Emma, thank you for the useful tips. The tiny snips (scissors) you recommend is great when travelling. May I know where can I buy the tiny snips.

Hello Emma, new Subscriber here. Just started my first project in English Paper. Your pincushion. With some scraps from a friend.. I don't own any fabric but I'm a long time cross stitcher. So I have all those tools for cross stitch. Have questions: You keep your hexagons in all projects [ any size]. You don't stitch hexagons on folds and the glue in time un stick when you make so many shapes. Thanks love you're channel 💟

I've definitely got dementia coming on, I just revisited the website, and the price wasn't bad and I'd already ordered it lol. How scatty am I? Lol🤗

Have you seen the clips that have rounded ends like saucers, no.t like the clover that have square ends

Hi You mentioned in one of your videos your shop could you give me a link to this please Many thanks

What is that light called and where did you purchase it at? As well as that case for your pieces???

Hello, where do you find hexaforms in the USA? I'm having no success. Hope you can help me.

Where did you get the little scissors?

How long do you cut your thread?

Hello where are you from?

What a lovely video! Great travel tips. As we drive from New England to the southern part of US every winter, I will use the tips. The scenic clip @ end were nice to see. Vacations are sooo much fun.🙂
