Sew EZ fingerthing
 

Looks interesting. Has anyone tried one? I saw it while looking for something else on ebay. And no this is not my shop or the shop of anyone I know. Just a random thing

You use it like a stilleto.....bit high for a bent piece ofplastic; I use a skewer from the kitchen.

I wouldn't pay that much for that little thing either. I would find something else that didn't cost so much. Jmoho

It is actually kind of cool. I just use a plain old stilleto.

I can be without my Clover awl which can be bought on Amazon for in the $6 range.

I also have a stilleto and a skewer and an awl. I was just curious. Some of the gadgets are interesting.

That I could use but I'm too cheap to buy it.

I can see where this would be great for someone that can't or don't like to hold a guide in their hands. As for the price if it does the job and suits you then it's worth it.

Trolley Needle

I've had one of these since my needlepoint days back in the 80s.

The amazon price is ridiculous but it would certainly last longer than a piece of plastic! :)

I was thinking the exact same thing! A chopstick works too.

I have something like that. I thought it was used as a sort of thimble

The Amazon price is $4.65. Nancy Notions is $7.99 with free shipping. Not much difference to care about. I guess 30 years ago it was much cheaper, like everything else was.

I use a fons and porter quilter's friend - love it because it is made of rubber (plastic?), i have a velcro circle on my sewing table, and back it goes. lately, I have been loosing things, and using the velcro dots on everything.

That's a plastic trolley needle.

I saw someone using it for turn applique.

The trolley needle is scary looking. LOL. I have never seen anything like that. Well learn something new every day

I threw one away yesterday !! Billed to me as a finger protector for hand quilting. It protected alright but I couldnt feel the needle to make the quilting stitch! lol.

I use a bamboo skewer or an old broken knitting needle. I have vowed to buy no more gadgets this year. Two weeks in and I'm doing well!

I would be miserable if I made myself not buy new quilting gadgets for a year. I may die next month and then what was the point of not having the fun of new stuff today? LOL
