Looks like a toothbrush without a head, doesn't it. Well, my DH (the inventor) decided if the head was removed and it was sharpened, it would make a stilletto....with a nice gripping surface.

What a good idea!!

Recyle, reuse...cool!

I think it's a pressing, or creasing, tool??

Sometimes men are just too darn smart! As creative as we quilters are, you'd think we would have thought of that a long time ago.

Great recycling!!!!

My first thought was that it looked like a homemade weapon in prison. I guess I've watched too many of those prison documentaries on TV. This is a great tool for sewing, though.

LOL! Yes, this is me too!

(inside my head: In prison, they call that a shank...)

Sooooo, your hubby done time in the Big House? :lol:

Great idea! If I send you my old toothbrush will he make me one? lol just kidding!

I thought about a prison shank too, but I am glad it is a sewing tol.

Wow - that's a fabulous idea. Thank you for sharing!

How creative!

That looks better than using my seam ripper

Bet it would work for poking up corners, without sharpening, of course . Good idea! DH inventing quilting tools for you he's a keeper

is it a Hera marker? i had one very similar. i've bought another one shaped better since then.

That would be great for those of us who have arthritis in our hands.

What a great idea! And it would work better than a metal stilleto, in that it won't scratch the surface of the sewing machine's throat plate when you use it. :thumbup:

I love it!! What a great and creative idea!! :D:D:D

Clever lad! Love it.
