Sweet Pea Sewing Supplies and Notions Recommendations
We’ve officially hung up our "shipping hats" to focus 100% on what we love most: designing! By transitioning away from selling physical supplies, our team can now pour all our energy into creating more of the innovative In-The-Hoop designs and detailed tutorials you love.
However, we want to make sure you’re never left guessing at the craft store or online. On this page, you’ll find the tried-and-tested products we use every day in the Sweet Pea studio. From our favourite stabilisers to the studio essentials that make every ITH project a total breeze, these are the items we trust to make our designs shine. We’ve linked to reliable retailers so you can grab your essentials quickly and get back to the joy of stitching!
Please note we may earn a commission from affiliate links if you purchase, at no extra cost to you.

You may even have noticed in some of our designs we include a Thread Colour Chart mentioning both Isacord and our previously available Incredi-Thread™.
Embroidery Stabiliser That We Recommend
Our favourite Stabiliser brands are Vlieseline (also known as Viline) and Pellon - both part of the textile industry leader, Freudenberg. Their world-class ranges offer interlining, fusing and wadding products for all forms of craft, embroidery, and apparel and is used by both professional and domestic makers.
Support your local quilt retailer or craft store if you can. Ask them to carry products they don’t stock or try what they have. There is SEW much choice!
