    Default Sewing stiletto?

    Saw these on the clearance bin at my grocery store today for .44 cents. They may be Lobster Picks but my brain said, sewing stilettos!!

    Well, just be careful with them and hope that no children are near your sewing machine/stuff.

    That will be great! Glad your brain was thinking. I especially like the opening so that you can have a prong on each side.

    I buy the wooden skewers they sell in the grocery store (for shish kabobs). You get about 20-30 in the pack for just a couple dollars.

    Be very careful. You hit one with your needle and you could throw the timing off which will mean a trip to the 'sewing machine hospital' or a piece of needle shooting up and hitting you. I prefer to use wooden picks. I've been told they are much safer.
