Cheap stiletto
#1
I found what I thought would make a fine stiletto at hobby lobby.:mrgreen: It is basically a sharp wire with a wood handle use for quilling with those narrow strips of paper. :lol: Only cost 2.95. Just thought some of you might like to know because all the other "stilettos" I have looked at were kind of pricey.

Deb, I use mine for controlling the fabric as it goes under the needle. You know how you have it lined up just perfect and when the needle hits it, it slips or slides and gets off the mark just a bit, well with a stiletto which is pointed at one end, you can hold the fabric down at the point the needle hits it because the point on the stiletto is so small and sharp you can get it right up there with the needle and control it so the needle goes just where you want it. I hope this helps.

I use a nut pick as a stilletto. You know the ones that come with a metal nutcracker (usually there are 4 of them plus the nutcracker in a set). I use the pointy end as the stilletto and the other end is good to help close safety pins when pin basting. It's a "two-fer"-two jobs for one tool.
