I checked out some sites and apparently the tool {aka hedgehog) is new to the US. (It was developed in 1998 in Holland.) I've seen them as low as $10 so far.


"[The needle puller]Enables [the] needle to be pulled through when loaded with up to 7 stitches."

It looks like the convenience is that you don't have to pick up another tool while quilting, millinery or dollmaking.

I'm a gadget person. I go to the hardware store all the time and look at tools thinking how can I use them in other ways.

I thought about using the needle puller for dog grooming when my farm dogs shed their matted winter coats and for removing ticks. ;-) ok...someone said "yuck"..... ;-)

What other ways could it be used?
