    I have one and I like the various purpose its for but i find that its a lil flimsy when im pushing out corners.. otherwise its a pretty creative notion..

    I have one and I simply love it. It works for a lot of things..great for pushing out the corners of a square, etc., etc. I love that "thang".

    It works great when you're stuffing small objects. It pushes that stuffing down really nicely!

    One of the ladies on here sent me one of those!!! It's one of my favorite quilting tools! I use it for quilts that i do the pillowcase method. I have also used it in other things! That thang is just awesome!!! I hope you're enjoying yours!

    Exactly, I luv my purple Thang for just about everything!

    /when I bought mine they said it was for use in hand appliique. When using a glue stick you use
    the purple thang instead of your finger, etc. I've misplaced mine; did use it some but seemed my
    fingers did just as well without it.
