Oh goodness that is a great question. I tried to get a picture/but having an older camera that sometimes does not focus well....the Porcupine Quill, that a fellow quilter sent me as a gift, is what I use. It is sharp and tiny on both ends and works great for holding the fabric in place while placing the iron on top. I think there are numerous items that would work for this step. A toothpick, Chopsticks, the end of the seam ripper, plus I believe there are specific products for this (forgive me, just waking up and brain not functioning) I just can not think of the name. Have a great time experiencing this method and let me know how you like it.
