The Needlework Tool Collectors Society of Australia aims to increase knowledge of current and past tools and the needlework skills they supported. Our group holds meetings regularly in Adelaide, Melbourne, and Sydney, and offers library and newsletter services to our members nationwide.

Meetings usually include a presentation on a specific tool, theme or type of needlework, as well as a show-N-tell session in support of the presentation, refreshments, and occasional sales tables. Other activities include workshops and site visits.
