    Default Sew EZ fingerthing

    Looks interesting. Has anyone tried one? I saw it while looking for something else on ebay. And no this is not my shop or the shop of anyone I know. Just a random thing

    I wouldn't pay that much for that little thing either. I would find something else that didn't cost so much. Jmoho

    It is actually kind of cool. I just use a plain old stilleto.

    ​I use a stilleto for sewing but I think it would be super handy for holding down seams when you iron. It might melt if the iron sits against it too long but if you were careful, it would sure save on boo boos.

    I also have a stilleto and a skewer and an awl. I was just curious. Some of the gadgets are interesting.

    That I could use but I'm too cheap to buy it.

    I can see where this would be great for someone that can't or don't like to hold a guide in their hands. As for the price if it does the job and suits you then it's worth it.

    Trolley Needle

    I've had one of these since my needlepoint days back in the 80s.

    The amazon price is ridiculous but it would certainly last longer than a piece of plastic!
