• sewing notions pointy stick - 2

I think that they meant a “stiletto” - ;))

I did a post on “Supplies” - here -

And said -

A stiletto is just a long, pointy stick used to hold down the fabric as it goes under the presser foot. Sometimes your finger or fingernail just won't do; You will find these for sale in catalogs for $5-$6, but I use the cuticle sticks found in the nail care department of Wal-Mart to do the same thing - and - they come in packages of 4 for only a couple of bucks. You could also use a chopstick or bamboo skewer. I just love finding stuff and using it for a totally different purpose!

And - even though you can buy them -

As a quilting “notion” - here -

Amazon has them - here -

They have a pointy end -

And a flat end -

And because they are super cheap -

It’s not a big deal if I lose one -

Technically -

They are called -

Orange Wood Cuticle Sticks -

But now I will forever think of one as a -

Sewing notions pointy stick - ;))
