Sorry, but I don't know the name of this, so please bear with my description!
There is a thing you can wear on your finger, like a thimble, and it has a awl like spike sticking out of it.
The idea is that you have it on your non-iron hand and then the pointer can hold your fabric in place, and all that the iron might touch would be the metal point.
I tried one ... but felt like a total klutz ... and went back to carefully using my fingers and the point of the iron!!!
