Laying ToolsFor those that have not had other embroidery experience, the concept of using a laying tool while you stitch may be new. Laying tools or trolley needles can be quite helpful in smoothing out and holding stranded fibers (such as multistrand floss, or ribbon) in place while stitching. Laying tools are separate implements that resemble a heavy needle or small awl, with a small handle or grip on them. Trolley needles are similar but usually are attached to a thimble or thimble "ring" that you wear on a finger, similiarly to using a thimble while you stitch. In lieu of either one, a large darning needle (blunt point) or even the eye of your stitching needle can be used in the same manner and for the same purpose.
