Equipment
Other than the items in the Starter Kits students will find it useful to have their own sewing kit: tape measure, pins, needles, good fine embroidery scissors etc. A notebook and pencil will also be useful. Some students find it helpful to have a magnifier and/or a light. Daylight lamps, which do not distort colours, are the best type to look for. Magnifiers come in a wide range of forms. The RSN online shop has a section for equipment and supplies.
