Sewers needed an “extra finger” that could safely reach into tight spaces in the stitching area or get close to dangerously hot irons.
A new type of tool evolved from the awl, the modern sewing stiletto. Sewing stilettos come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and materials.
Most share the same basic shape: a long, slender tool tipped by a tapered point.
The acute point enables the stiletto to hold small areas of fabric with accuracy.
Used in a traditional manner, stilettos are invaluable for keeping seam allowances from flipping in the wrong direction while you’re stitching across intersecting seams.
So many tools available For Quilters to make the job easier and of course accurate.
