Mellor
A mellor also known as a mellore or melor is a perfectly manufactured tool for metal thread embroidery.
The mellor is made out a soft smooth metal that is not abrasive.
The narrower end is used as a stiletto to widen a hole in the ground fabric to plunge a heavy twisted cord or metal thread to the back.
The round end is used to nudge and push metal threads into position and is gentler on the metal threads than using tweezers as the mellor has been polished and has smooth rounded edges so less likely to damage the metal thread.

Fabric Eraser
The fabric eraser is useful for surface embroidery when you use a pencil to draw your design lines onto fabric.
If you by mistake draw the line in the incorrect position, use the fabric eraser to remove the pencil line.
The pencil line may not completely erase so still take care when drawing design lines on your fabric.
I find the eraser useful especially when drawing on the direction guide lines on my needle painting designs and sometimes draw the guide lines on at the wrong angle and need to remove them.
