Thank you all..What I am working on is a gingerbread man placemat and it requires these teeny tiny hearts to be sew onto his shirt and a couple of other places..That is the part that is driving me nuts..I really like this tool and I am going to look for it..Thank you all again so much for your help..

Sounds like what you need is hand applique - you can either do needle turn and here is a great tute with pics http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-39489-1.htm or apply your hearts with fusible web or glue stick then blanket stitch the edges and here's a tute, using hearts as the example http://ajpadilla.com/tutorials/begin...titch-applique

Hope it helps, your gingerbread man sounds cute. :-D

If it's embroidery, ignore me! Sorry, was posting at the same time! :lol:

Thank you so much !!! I put the one from the quilting board into my bookmarks..That is what I need..
