Tail Catcher
A neat back to any needlepoint, embroidery or cross stitch project is a must not just for creating a flatter, neater item for finishing, but for reducing your own stress while you’re stitching. Loose threads can get in your way, tangle, knot, and otherwise make the actual stitching process more frustrating. This Tail Catcher tool will help.
Tail, in this case, means threads, as in the threads on the back of your project. This pewter tail catcher is a tool needlepointers, sewers, quilters, and embroiderers use to secure, tidy, and bury short loose thread tails on the back of a project. This version is a decorative, made-in-England tail catcher, perfect for stitchers who love an old-world look reminiscent of Victorian sewing tools.

How to use:
You slide the wire loop under the existing stitches on the reverse side of your fabric until it reaches the loose thread tail. You then pass the hook through the loop, catch the tail, and pull it back through the loop to bury and lock the end securely.
