Sewing stiletto?
 

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

I new we needed to crossover the Blue Water Bridge............calla. Just 1 hour away.........

Fun use of these! Now to go looking..... :)

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. :)

Or a chop stick. great find!!

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.

I agree, wood is much safer. Mine is brass and I am concerned about accidentally having the needle hit it.

Those lobster forks look a little too pointy for me. I would also be afraid that my kitties would get stuck with them. I us a double pointed bamboo knitting needle.

IMO, I'd stick with a tool that has one small point. Skewers are good. I have the little wooden stick that comes in a bag of loose polyfill.

Great idea!

I like Clovers blue handled stiletto because it has a rounded point and is a little shorter. It works well with my small hands.

Buy some lobsters or crab instead! I use a porcupine quill, when I can find it. Better than anything else!

I use my "Purple Thang" or my seam ripper. :)

Me, too. :)

I think they would be too sharp for me. I tend to not look at things real carefully when I'm grabbing them in a hurry. I use an embossing tool that other people would use when making cards (which I don't do). DH & Ds got it for me years ago when they thought I needed a different hobby. You see how that turned out

I use 'orange sticks' from beauty shop supplies. Works great.

I use skewers. Just recently bought poly fiber fill for a craft project and included in it was a nice thicker sturdier skewer

oooo.. those would be a great help to stuff (carefully) stuffing into corners! And as holding tool when pressing!

Same here, it's always next to my machines. I cut a piece of magnet with a sticky back and just keep my ripper right there.

Great repurposing. I use porcupine quills. We are a resourceful bunch aren't we?

I use skewers after I've run them through the pencil sharpener. Gets into those corners very nicely.

I have stilettos, but I also use my seam ripper and my finger. I have used my "purple thang" and still sewn through it.

Good idea.

I agree - stilettos it is and great price.

Or you could toast mini marshmallows!! (Snort)

Aha when I saw them I thought needle turn applique... there was a post on here about a lady from Spain who does beautiful applique and had designed tools to make it easier they are very expensive but sure look like your lobster picks wish I could pick a set up from your store.

Next time you order Chinese food ask them for chopsticks, they give them out and they are free and serve the same purpose.

I do use lobstah picks for sewing projects, but it's usually to poke holes through fabric.
