    I use skewers. Just recently bought poly fiber fill for a craft project and included in it was a nice thicker sturdier skewer

    oooo.. those would be a great help to stuff (carefully) stuffing into corners! And as holding tool when pressing!

    Same here, it's always next to my machines. I cut a piece of magnet with a sticky back and just keep my ripper right there.

    Great repurposing. I use porcupine quills. We are a resourceful bunch aren't we?

    I use skewers after I've run them through the pencil sharpener. Gets into those corners very nicely.

    I have stilettos, but I also use my seam ripper and my finger. I have used my "purple thang" and still sewn through it.

    Aha when I saw them I thought needle turn applique... there was a post on here about a lady from Spain who does beautiful applique and had designed tools to make it easier they are very expensive but sure look like your lobster picks wish I could pick a set up from your store.
