Little FootTPT That Purple Thang-

I keep this widget on my workbench to aid in the assembly/disassembly of some bench tools that occasionally need to come aapart for cleaning and inspection. Work well for their intended purpose.

The only thing I wish were different: I wish one of the ends worked well for turning corners right side out. To be fair, they work well until I push too hard and make a hole… but that’s probably just me.It’s a very useful little tool!

I use this for applying glue to fabric in tight spaces. It is hard to keep clean, but works well when I don't want to get my hands sticky. Cost is a little high for what it is, but it is a good tool to have.

This awesome little tool allows you to keep fabric smooth as it goes under the sewing machine foot - without endangering your fingers. It's also handy when you need to ease fabric a bit. It's thin enough that you can keep it between your fingers while you feed the fabric normally, ad then quickly deploy the Thang without stopping the machine to look for it. It can also be used to sharpen up clipped turned corners. I have even used the flat end to finger press a short seam.

This is a must have for seamstresses. For the ones who sew as a hobby and the professional. It doesn't puncture your fabric and it makes turning easy especially collars

I had been sewing cloth masks for a month when someone in a mask makers group suggested this tool for when you’re turning the masks right side out for top stitching. I ordered one and was slightly off put by the price for what I though was pretty much just a stick. OMG I was wrong! This thing is super cool! It’s just the right shape for pushing corners out without poking through the fabric. It has a pointy side and flat side which I’ve also used for a few things. Plus the flat size has a slot that you can use for threading things like ribbon... so much easier than trying to thread with a safety pin! I’ve been sewing for 20+ years and this is definitely a cool toy! 10/10 would recommend for someone with dexterity issues or just tired of pushing corners out the hard way. Also comes with an instruction book with tips on other things you can do!

Yes, it is a cheap plastic thingy that you need if: you quilt, you are an advanced to intermediate sewer, or you are a brave sewer who has sewn through one of your fingers at least once, if you have ever reached for a metal object to unclog or unstick something knowing that the coat hanger or screwdriver that may scratch/rip/poke a hole in something that can't have a hole in it or you don't want scratched Yes, it is a cheap plastic thingy, but that actually gives it a benefit that those metal thingies don't have - it won't ruin anything.When it first arrived, I looked at it and threw it in my sewing cabinet thinking that I might use it someday for something sooner or later. It only took two days to become useful. I have used it to unstick a metal object from between my cabinet and my stainless steel oven - no scratches. I have used it to poke out something stuck in my vacuum cleaner - didn't poke a hole in the hose - and you can wash it and it doesn't rust. I am currently using it to control the ease and the edges of my fabric while sewing curves into blocks in my quilt. I find myself reaching for it frequently. Yes, it is a cheap piece of plastic that may break, and I will replace it every time it does as it is just so useful if you remember that you have it. I am still trying to figure out something useful to do with that hole in the 'handle' area. I guess it may be to hang it around your neck. Perhaps when I am not using it for over 300 seams that may be a good idea. I sew a lot of tissue knits which can be hard to control - perhaps I can release it from my grasp then and hang it around my neck. Another job for the purple thang.

The hype is true! You need this thing, it is so handy for just any little job!
