Saw these on the clearance bin at my grocery store today for .44 cents. They may be Lobster Picks but my brain said, sewing stilettos!! :D

Well, just be careful with them and hope that no children are near your sewing machine/stuff.

That will be great! Glad your brain was thinking. I especially like the opening so that you can have a prong on each side.

I buy the wooden skewers they sell in the grocery store (for shish kabobs). You get about 20-30 in the pack for just a couple dollars. :)

that's a great idea. when i use a stiletto, i've been grabbing a bamboo skewer

I use my seam ripper for that purpose. :)

Be very careful. You hit one with your needle and you could throw the timing off which will mean a trip to the 'sewing machine hospital' or a piece of needle shooting up and hitting you. I prefer to use wooden picks. I've been told they are much safer.
