Sewing

I stick with mostly All Purpose threads, buy fabric from Joann's or a specialty fabric stores for larger projects (S.R. Harris).

Knitting

Chia-goo Needles (various) + Shorties

Knitter's Pride Mind Relaxing set

Various tools that you can find at a yarn store. BUY WHAT YOU NEED. But if it's pretty buy it too.

Yarn is whatever I find pretty

Embroidery

I do Machine Embroidery thread... which is okay but for hand embroidery it's best to use embroidery floss. As for hoops I prefer wood hoops cause it's a better grip for my embroidering.

Tips on Mediums!

Do what works best for you

What I use isn't going to always work for you personally. This is just what I use for my works. Play around with everything and find what works best for you!

Take good care of your tools

It's easy to let paint dry on a brush or not clean out your sewing machine. But it will affect the longevity of said tools. Investing in storage solutions and cleaners will help your art supplies last longer!

Don't sweat about mastering mediums

As a multimedia artist, I'm not a wizard on all that I work with. It's good to learn all different kinds of mediums, but it's also beneficial to not over-extend yourself. There's no specific way to make art, whether you master one medium or expand your horizons!
