Needles' Partner is a term used to describe the items that are necessary for sewing. PINS (4 letters) are small, thin pieces of metal with a sharp point at one end and a head at the other, used for fastening fabric together. LIES (4 letters) are thin cords made of twisted strands of cotton, silk, or nylon, used for stitching fabric together. THREAD (6 letters) is a thin, strong, continuous strand of natural or synthetic fibers, used for sewing. Together, these three items form the essential components of any sewing project.
