What is a laying tool?
Laying tools come in many different shapes and sizes but the basic principle is the same. A laying tool used to maintain tension on your stitching thread so that when the thread is laid into place it appears neat and smooth and each strand lays parallel to the others. The reason for using a laying tool is that threads that have been laid properly simply look better than those that have not. They also reflect light differently resulting in more vibrant color.
