All wedges turned and finger pressed. I still haven't located the Purple Thang. DD 14 ended up helping me last night. After another futile search for the Purple Thang, DD grabbed the small screw driver, that comes with the sewing machine. Smart girl. It worked really well in turning and pushing out the points around the tip. Next is pressing all of them.
Deb please do not feel obligated to make up for different sets. As long as I end up with 12 it doesn't mater to me if multiples are all from my original set.
