Needle puller
What's your favorite? I saw the Dritz silicone needle puller. Anyone tried these?
I don't hand quilt but once in a while if I'm doing some hand sewing and I need
to pull the needle and it's hard to grab.

I usually use a rubber finger tip purchased from the office supply store. I bought a box of 12 years ago and still have a number of them left. If the needle is really stubborn I might have to resort to my baby pliers.

Like NJ Quilter I keep a rubber finger on my 1st finger to help pull the needle through when hand quilting. I have also used that wide rubber band like comes on broccoli. I was knotting a quilt a couple weeks ago and the needle just wouldn't go through the fabric. I covered my needle nose pliers with duct tape, so it didn't mark the needle, and pulled the needle through with them.
