It is interesting to read that actually the needle puller is not so common in US! I know that many quilters here in Germany have it. Maybe the reason is that a very well known hand quilting teacher here (she is Amish) uses and recommends it in her workshops.

It looks a bit awkward but you probably get used it and can't live without it. I use small needle nose when I used to hand quilt with my group, but I use them for beading on leather too. You get in the swing of going along and they don't seem to be a problem. I want to try it though! I love new gadgets!
