never seen it before, it is used like a pliers to grip the needle and pull it through. I usually use my scissors to do that on the rare occasion when it gets stuck.
I had to watch it twice to see what she was doing.

When hand quilting, I have never had a problem pulling a needle through where I required any kind of tool other then a little rubber gripper and for that I simply cut a piece of rubber from rubber cleaning gloves.
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.
