When I was younger,I used the round circle thing and ballons. Now that I have arthritic hands, I'm grateful for needle pullers and pliers.

I like your humour - with shipping, it would probably cost $32.95 over here...however, I think it would be handy.

I use a piece from a rubber glove and also carry I small pair of pliers in my quilting basket. I have seen small round disc that you use like the piece of rubber glove.

I have, on the rare occasion, had to use plyers on a tied T-Shirt quilt where I was using embroidery floss and a large embroidery needle.

Me, too. On the occasional time I need help, I use a sm. needle nose pliers.

The needle pullers I've seen before are a great help. This one looks even easier to use.
