    I really LOVE that tool would like to try it because I can relate to having trouble pulling the needle through the material.

    Forgot to mention, sometimes I just use the little tub of stuff you buy for sorting papers (instead of licking your finger). It's non-toxic and sold at office supply stores. Gives just enough grip on the needle to pull it through, but it's not sticky.

    It is a needle puller, maybe handy if quilting in thick fabric/batting.

    I don't know what it's called but would like to have one. I use a round rubber thing to grasp the needle and pull it through, which works ok too.
