All things for working with wool are on special today (does not include wool yardage or pre-cuts)! We have lumped a whole bunch of my favorite things together that I consider to be must-haves when working with wool! Please watch the video link below to hear me explain all of the items we have on special today. You have until January 2nd, 2022 to place your order! Remember to leave us a comment for a chance to win some of my favorite wool essentials!!!
All of today’s items are truly my favorites for wool appliqué. I cannot work without them! The needles for wool appliqué are a must. Do not try to just use what you have… You will struggle! Also, Tweezers are really awesome for picking up those little wool pieces and removing the paper from the back.
Don’t forget marking pens! By far the best marking pen for wool is the white liquid chalk pen. You simply mark lightly onto the wool and let it dry. Markings will stay on for the duration of your stitching, it does not brush off. If you need to remove it, you can just steam it away!
Our Primitive Gatherings Scissors are so beautiful and functional that I cannot cut without them. I truly do not like using any other scissors! They are light weight, super sharp and I cut everything with them. Yes… especially paper fusible web because they never dull. I use the little rotary cutters (18mm & 28mm) to quickly cut out my fusible web before it is adhered to the wool. I also love my stem cutting rulers. The rulers perfectly cut 3/16″ strips of wool/fusible for exact 1/4″ stems and vines for all your wool projects!
Fusible web is your friend when doing wool appliqué! It holds the shapes to your background (or to each other) and gives the wool nice crisp edges for stitching. I recommend using HeatnBond Feather Lite for all appliqués and then use Lite Steam-a-Seam2 for all your stems and vines. I do not use the SAS2 Lite for my appliqués because it is too sticky to stitch through. This can be an issue if you are getting your work machine quilted because it tends to cause a lot of skipped stitches.
Now is a great time to stock up! I would for sure buy a bolt (35yds) of the Feather Lite at this time because we are offering 25% off the whole bolt! Take 20% off all other wool essentials through January 2nd, 2022!
For wool appliqué I am most proud of these two books, Wool, Needle & Thread 1 and 2. I’ll let you read the publisher’s description below, they make me and the books sound so AWESOME!

I have everything except the stem rulers, may be in my future, i have a bday gift card burning a hole in my purse…
Hello,
Merry Christmas everyone!
I have both books, I would love the scissors.
Thanks
I need the heat n bond! I live 45 miles from any store that sales it!!! Seems like I’m always running out. Jmh
Since i already own both books, I would love a whole bolt of the Feather Lite Heat’nBond! Merry Christmas to everyone!
Hello Lisa 👋 you deserve the praise from your editors because you and Sue Spargo are the queens of wool applique!!!
Your explanations are so wonderful 💕 and your creativity ❤ is inspiring ❤ 💖 ✨
Scissors please. You can never have enough! 🙂
Those tweezers would help out immensely, along with some new needles.
Merry Christmas!
Lol. I seem to have collected some of most of these items already, although do not yet have Lisa’s scissors and can always use more fusible. Thanks so much!! I love them all
I have all of the items except a bolt of the fusible & Lisa’s scissors. I love all of my applique tools. They have really helped with my growing love of wool applique & getting projects from all of this year’s wool boxes done. Thanks for all the great pointers!
Great products, I would love either the tweezers or the scissor.
I’d love a bolt of feather lite Heat n Bond.
Love the binding needles, want to try others
Ohhh, I need the Heat and Bond!
Thanks for everything Lisa!
Was able to visit your store in Nov. and did some damage there. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Love all your products and books. Took a lot of guessing out of planned projects. Thank for all you do and your directions.
I have both books!!!! But I would love to try the different fusibles. I can’t find a fusible I love! I love them for one project but not the next one! I think it depends on the wool and how many layers.
Love the book, I refer to it often. I am intrigued by the tweezers.
I would love to try the heat and bond featherlite. Thanks for all you share.
I love your books Lisa- I use them all the time! such a great reference. I one thing you suggested that I would really love to have is the stem rulers! Thanks for showing us all your favorite things!!
I love all of these favorite things! I already own them all (with the potential exception of the embellishment needles – I need to order some of those and give them a try). I go through the HeatnBond at a rapid rate, though, so that’s the item I need most from this list. I will be placing an order!
I love the tweezers and your rulers! I can’t wait to try your new favorite fusible! I was using your previous favorite on the wool SBOW. Would it be best to use all the same kind of fusible with this quilt and try your new favorite Heat N Bond Feather Lite on my next project?
Love them all , your books are my favorite.
Hi Lisa and everyone at Primitive Gatherings! I have everything except the Primitive Gatherings scissors. I would really like those. Merry Christmas to you all!
I didn’t know HeatnBond made a feather lite version of their fusible. That would be really nice to have.
I have both books but not the rulers, but I do have a gift certificate waiting to be used🥰
I would love the scissors! I trust Lisa’s judgment 🙂
I’ve got your 2 books & they truly are indispensable. Using the correct needle is a game changer- the embellishment needle was a game changer for me. I am in need of the stem rulers & H&B featherlite! Merry Christmas!🎄
Fun stuff!
I need the stem rulers, tweezers and book 2. I probably will be buying more heat and bond feather lite. I need to ask how long it keeps if I buy a bolt.
The tweezers, scissors and feather lite heat and bond are on my wish list!
Santa: the tweezers please
I need the tweezers and the Steam a Seam 2, which constantly seems to disappear!
I have everything you have mentioned except the scissors, which look awesome.
I have everything except the scissors. I need to give them a try.
I have and love everything on this list except the stem rulers…I think I’ll need to add them to my list! I do mostly wool appliqué so these would definitely be a necessity. Thanks!
I would love to try the Primitive Gatherings scissors. Honestly, its the only item of today’s needful things I don’t already have! Lisa’s recommendations are great and I definitely agree with her!
I love your books.
I’d ask Santa for the scissors!
Thank you for all the information. Most useful!
I have everything and love it all. I guess I would love the heat and bond feather lite. Can never have enough fusible as far as I am concerned. Of course another pair of tweezers is always good to have in a separate place so you don’t have to go running for your one pair.
I want the stem rulers!!!
I would love to add Wool, Needle & Thread 2 as a companion to my Wool, Needle & Thread book.
I use the stitching guide book all the time. It never is far-away. Thank you for really showing the stitches clearly. I have all the things you mentioned today except scissors and have ordered.
I need the tweezers and Steam a Seam 2 (which always seems to disappear).
I would absolutely love your book one on wool applique. I want to learnhow to do this beautiful technique.
I definitely need the new Primitive Gatherings scissors! Love scissors! I have everything else you talked about today and theses items definitely are needed when doing wool appliqué!
I didn’t know that heat n bond had the featherweight. I really want to try that!
Feather light Heat n Bond and tweezers are a must and only Xmas list!
I need your two books obviously and some new scissors. Thanks for sharing your necessities.
Fusible would be nice. Mine might be a tad old!
I would love the rotary cutter, I gave larger ones but a smaller size sounds wonderful!
I need your books Wool, Needle and Thread. I haven’t worked with wool and all your beautiful projects make me want to try🙂
I would the Primitive Gatherings scissors. They look so sleek and easy to use.
Great list of ideas for gifts. I like the stem cutting rulers; I have seen them before.
I have your Wool, Needle, & Thread 2 book on my wishlist, but I also have your scissor and the tweezers on my list now too!
I’m very new to the wool appliqué family and think the how to book would be very helpful. Scissors!! I love scissors. You can never have enough.
I haven’t done very much wool appliqué so I’d love to get your book Wool, Needle and Thread. So many wonderful items !!
I need the Heatnbond, the tweezers and the second book as I have recently purchased all the rest
Feather Lite Heat and Bond The steam a seam 2 is very sticky Have all of the wool applique essentials
I really, really want your Volume 2 Wool Applique Book. And I need a bolt of Heat ‘n Bond Lite. Please and Thank you. I’m really enjoying your daily videos.
I could really use the Primitive Gathering scissors. I don’t have a good pair to cut my small wool pieces especially when they have heat and bond attached.
I have the first book and love it. Because of the quality of the pictures it is so easy to see and understand. It’s nice to see what’s in book #2 for projects. I purchased the Heat N Bond featherlite during the Christmas Event but haven’t used it yet. Your suggestions for tools for wool work are right on. I’ve been stitching for awhile but still found the first book very helpful.
I need all of these things, of course!! I wish you had a bundle of everything, which I would totally buy. Along with the steam station! I’d be set LOL!
I love these tools – I don’t have the scissors or tweezers and other items wear out or run out so I can make use of any and all (except the books as I already have these and they are invaluable to me when doing any wool applique projects0. Thanks Lisa and everyone at Primitive Gatherings :).
I have the first book, but hope the second one is under my tree on Christmas morning. 🙂 It is on my list. And of course no one can have enough needles.
I have your 1st book on wool appliqué but need a new pair of scissors as I lost my other fine scissors. 🙄 The next best item would be the tweezers. Thanks for the opportunities to win some item from your list of favorites
I need the tweezers, scissors, and rulers. May have to order myself some stocking stuffers.
The Needle & Tread book two, and your Scissors are two items I would like, or really need. lol.
Thanks for putting needed essentials together. I’m new to wool appliqué and excited to get started.
I want to try the featherweight Heat and Bond. I also need a new white marking pen. Mine is almost used up! And I love the embelishing needles. They work so well with bullion knots!
The scissors would be wonderful!
Feather light heat & bond! And tweezers! 🎄🎁🛍🎅🏼🎅🏼🎅🏼
Feather light heat & bond! And tweezers! 🎄🎁🛍🎅🏼🎅🏼🎅🏼
Thanks for the tips!
I have all things you showed😊. I see a bolt of heat & bond lite in my future.
Loving your Christmas give-aways! Thank you!
❤ love,love your needles! Have book 1 & 2! Guess I need those ✂️ & tweezers!
I’m going to need all the things. I love wool applique!
I’d love to try the rulers or the scissors!
I have most everything except for the stem rulers! Adding them to my birthday list! I hope my husband gets all of my hints!
I think those stem rulers would be pretty nice!!!
I couldn’t survive without your stem rulers and those tweezers are fantastic. Thank you. I would love the project book and I haven’t yet tried the Heat and bond featherweight. Love everything you and your incredible team do! Happy Christmas and Happy Stitching.
The feather lite heat & bond! Always running out of this stuff!
I would want the Wool and Thread Book 2 and the Feather Weight Heat and Bond. You can’t have too much Heat and Bond.
Love Wool, Needle and Thread book . I have recommended it to several people! I don’t have the stem ruler or the PG scissors, but some day…..
I need those stem rulers. Always struggling trying to get those long stems!
I have most of your things you showed today and live them. The scissors would be great n my wish list!
I have everything except the white chalk pen and the tweezers.I don’t remember seeing them when I was in the shop. Guess I need to order them.
I really want it all but the scissors sound awesome.
I LOVE my Wool, Needle and thread book. A must have!
I’d really like to have the Primitive Gatherings Scissors, Stem Rulers and Wool, Needle and Thread Project Companion Book #2. Thanks for the opportunity to win these items
I am new to hand stitching and purchased both of Lisa’s books. They are so we’ll
Illustrated and such a good resource. I have most af everything Lisa showed except the tweezers. I would loved to have those and the big stitch needles for hand quilting. Thanks for all you do. Cathy Brock
The books would be great. I would also like the tweezers. I always use PG chenille needles and am looking forward to trying the others.
I learned a few new things about all of your needles. I thought I will check my supply before I order. I have 2 to 3 packages of ALL of your needles. New Year’s resolution- stop using the same old needle in the pin cushion while wondering why it seems dull. I will use new needles. Since I saved money by not buying any more needles, I am going to try your new scissors. I have always been pleased with your suggestions.
I have both books, tweezers, rulers and needles. I love all of them. I also have the bolt of Head N Bond from last years 12 Days of Christmas Sale, which I love because I always have it when I need it. I don’t have the scissors so I guess that’s my choice for this year!
All of the above, except the wonderful books which already live at my house!
The only product I do not have is the stem ruler. I only use your needles because I love them.
I have everything except the tweezers, feather lite heat n bond, and wool, needle and thread 2. Thank you Lisa and team. 😊
Would love the Heat and Bond product. Just purchased your books and some other items and anxious to get them!!!
I have the first book “Wool, Needle and Thread” and use it frequently as a guide to wool appliqué. I really would like the book, “Wool, Needle and Thread 2” to put those skills to practical use. I have never used I have never used the Lite Heat N Bond but if the expert recommends it, that’s good enough for me!
I need the Featherweight lite fusible. I enjoy your first book!!
I have both books and LOVE them, so the scissors would be nice. Also love those embellishing needles, helps with the fancy stitches.
I would love the scissors. The ones I use don’t cut my wool as nice as I would like. Thank you and have a Merry Christmas.
Vickie S.
Oh, I’ll be a little greedy. The tweezers AND the bolt of Heat and Bond!
I would love to try the Feather lite Heat n bond
I still need both of your books! Come on Santa!
I really want to get the PG Scissors. And then the tweezers!
I would like the bolt of feather weight heat n bond and the large stem ruler if Santa is listening.. I do have all of the other items
I need embellishment needles to complete the set of PG Needles. I’m also planning to try the Heat n Bond Featherlite fusible. Can’t seem to get rid of the goo on my needles when stitching with Steam a Seam. I do like the ability to position it though.
They all look great!
I have both of your books and absolutely love them. I recommend them to all my sewing friends. I didn’t see where you mentioned FriXion pens. I was going to pick some up as I’m using currently sewing on white wool. What do you use for marking on lighter wools? Thank you.
Needles! I’ve always used what’s around even though I know the right tool would make the work easier. I just never knew what to look for.
Oh Lisa, if you only knew how much I depend on “The Book”; it is my go-to resource! I love your blog, our patterns and especially your fabric! I have to purchase one to two fat quarter bundles each time a new line comes out! I have fabric that I’m ‘hoarding’, oops, I meant to save enjoying for the perfect project, some of it is from ten years, now don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I use the fabric from each line, this is why I feel the need to order double of each new fabric fat quarter bundle, so I’ll have it for my current project and then for a future project! Now, as much as I’d like to share further, I’m off to check out the wool strip rulers! Thank you! Merry Christmas!
I need your stem ruler and Scissors . It’s the last two items I don’t have for my wool work. I will put them on my Santa list. Santa says thanks for making it easier for him.
Scissors and needles.
I’d like the Wool, Needle, and Thread 2 book… loved the first one! And also would like to try the Feather lite Heat n Bond…. Thank you… love wool appliqué!
Wool, Needle and ThreadVolume 2 has been on my wish list since it came out. I think it may have to be a Happy New Year gift to myself if I don’t get it for Christmas. The scissors are awfully enticing, one can never have too many good, specialty pairs.
I have the books, would love the Feather Lite Heat n Bond, I’m always running out of it. The tweezers would be helpful, too. These 12 Days of Christmas are fun! Thank you!
I would Love the white liquid marker- I’ve never tried that one!!
I am lucky enough to have everything except your scissors and tweezers. Have them on my Santa list. Your two wool books are extremely well written and have wonderful pictures. These are must haves for everyone’s library. Plus, the patterns are an added bonus!
I love your needles. I keep several tubes on hand. I have everting shown but the scissors.
Love all my wool projects from Primitive Gatherings! The scissors look awesome! Now I just need more time to work on them
I have everything. I use wonder under instead of the heat and bond
I love all you do! I bought the big American Flag kit this past summer and I can’t wait to do it. You seriously have awesome patterns!!
After just having my quilt with wool stars long-armed and seeing the result of using Steam and Seam Lite(in that stitches skip because of the stickiness of it) I definitely NEED Heat n Bond!
the book would be great to have as a reference but I would also like the featherweight fusible as I could use it in my quilting projects as well.
Feather Light Heat and Bond sounds like a winner. Did not know about this item until now. Would love to try it.
Love the stem rulers! Makes stem cutting a breeze!
Love both your wool books and essential. Could not do my wool projects with them. Merry Christmas
Would love the marking pin and scissors
I have both books and love them! I would pick your needles 🪡 if I won.
The tweezers are on my list and your new scissors. Love the binding needles I purchased last year.
I have book 1 but would love to get book 2!
I would love to try the Heat &Bond featherlite. I like steam a seam but do have problems with sticky needles. Then there are the scissors, the books, a stitched can never have too many needles …..
Love the books they add wonderful! Have everything from PG 2 with the exception of the scissors. I will have to look into those. Thank you!
The Primitive Gathering scissors certainly has caught my eye!
I have and use many of these items all the time. Found the liquid chalk through you LOVE your Che I’ll needles. Just received my order today with a set of new needles and SAS for making tulip mat. Would love to have the rulers for cutting stems.
Your Primitive Gatherings binding needles are THE BEST!
I am new to working with wool and would love books! I need direction and supplies lol Thank you for the fun!
I love the rulers! They’ve made a huge difference in my stems.
White liquid pen for marking, never knew they made such a thing. Needles just for wool? I really need to get out more and see what I am missing. Merry Christmas.
Everytime I read your blog I learn something! Today it was filled with wool appliqué tools I need! I am just starting that journey and your descriptions make me want it all!
I need your books with the patterns and all the guides. Love watching your tutorials but the books would be a wonderful addition to my library
I have a few of the things you showed but not your stem rulers or tweezers or the Heat and Bond Feather lite, or your wonderful scissors! Love your Wool, Needle and Thread book, it’s so helpful and your applique needles, they are the best! I also have a kit of that wonderful quilt that is behind you in the video, got it and I have it in my stash. After the Holidays it will be the first thing I start!!!
I enjoyed learning more about needles. I don’t have the embellishing ones so that would be nice to have.
I am interested in the stem rulers. My stems never come out the same sizes. Boy i am getting professional. I am also interested in the marking pen. I have so few books but i do have the the Wool, needle & thread book volumn 1 and 2.
So many beautiful things. I have the second book but could definitely use the first book. I constantly have to refer to you tube to do a stitch. 🤦♀️Having the book would be so much easier. I also need the stem rulers and the scissors sound like a must have. 😊
I have not yet tried wool applique, but it is on my list to do in 2022! So any of the supplies could be very helpful to get me started on this new hobby!
I need Steam and Seam and Heat and Bond Lite!
Happy holidays. I want to try the featherweight fusible.
Those rulers look fantastic!! Thank you for the discounts!!
I already have a lot of the items mentioned. A bolt of the steam a seam would be nice or the scissors. Can never have too many scissors.
I would love to try the heatnbond feather lite. I use the SAS2 and it is sticky! Love this tip!
Those scissors look like cutting heaven! I am a wool applique addict thanks to Lisa. I have the other products and use them ALL THE TIME!
I would love volume 2 of your book. Loved the first one and use it frequently.
I need and badly want your scissors!!
I didn’t know about the feather heat and bond. I need some of that!
I need some new scissors and the feather heat and bond. Thank you
I would love the tweezers! I have some needles and Heat n Bond Feather Lite in my cart to order!
Thank you and your staff for all that you do for your customers. I always look forward to your new designs.
I need the how to book….I struggle with choosing the right stitches to use
I don’t have either of your wool books and would <3 <3 them!! thanks and Merry Chtristmas!
I would love the Wool,Needle and Thread Book 2 to go with Book 1 I own. Love wool appliqué so much.
Love those needle threaders. I have three one at the long arm one near the sewing machine and one in my sew all bag. so sturdy, the wire ones I break after a couple of uses. love the you tube videos, thank you
I added those tweezers to my wish list
I could use the whole bolt of the feather lite Heat n’ Bond. It seems wool projects keep appearing at my door wanting to be worked on. Sure enjoy wool applique!!!
I need the heat and bond 2. That’s why I might be having difficulty stitching because I’m using SAS2! The marking pen sounds awesome too!!
I have never worked with wool, but it looks like a lot of fun. As a child, I remember an old wool crazy patch quilt that we used when the power went out. It was very heavy, but so warm!
Would love your scissors and the tweezers…a bolt of the Heat n’ Bond would also be wonderful. Love your first book and the needles are the best!
The scissors sound heavenly! And the 2nd Wool book looks intriguing. I have the first and love it!
I would love to have them all, but especially like the rulers.
I have your first book and I love it! I must be needing the second one too! I do want to order a couple of the other items you use for working with wool. Hugs,
Heat ‘n Bond is a staple in my sewing room and it’s currently running low!
I “need” it all! Except Book 1, which I already have! Two of them, in fact! Not sure how that happened 🤷♀️ I will absolutely be ordering needles…but if they make me love wool applique any more than I do now…well, I’m in trouble! Merry Christmas to all!
I would like to replenish my supply of Heat and Bond, featherlite.
Have all these wonderful items except for your new book and scissors. Of course ordering them and restocking some things I can’t live without like your needles and Heat and Bond!!
Merry Christmas, Lisa to you and your wonderful staff at Primitive Gatherings!
Stitch on! Love the books, and the supplies are essential. Don’t have that scissors….yet!
Oh, I want it all 🙂
Your needles, the chalk pen, and your scissors Re what I especially want. I have your books already and LOVE them! I’ve learned see much!!
I would really love to try the Heat and Bond!
I decided to learn to work with wool so I followed your list and got most of these tools. I still need book 2, rulers and scissors in my tool chest. Thank you again for such great information.
The HeatnBond Feather Lite is new to me as is the liquid white chalk pen. I need to check them out!
I would love to try your scissors. Your “how to” books are wonderful!
I have many of the items you are talking about. I would love having the scissors and the 2nd book to add to my sewing tools.
I’d like to try the chalk marker. I love your wool books.
The Heat & Bond Featherlight looks to be a good addition to my wool appliqué along with new needles.
Hi Lisa, What a great assortment of ways to improve wool stitching. The first book with all your tips would be great. Merry Christmas.
I use Heat n Bond lite for my wool applique. I’m interested in the white pen. Looks like it would be very handy!!
Ask any carpenter and he will tell you the proper tools help make the project! I’m sold!
I need Heat and Bond, white markers and the scissors!!
