Protect creative fingers with the SixthFinger Stiletto

Help protect your customers’ sewing, quilting, and crafting fingers with the new SixthFinger Stiletto from The Colonial Needle Company. The SixthFinger Stiletto is perfectly designed for guiding and controlling fabric and trims during the sewing and pressing of small details. It features two prongs, one flat and one pointed, both mounted in a sturdy metal handle. Using the Stiletto protects fingers by keeping them away from the sewing machine or serger needle and the hot iron soleplate. Just a few of its various uses include:

SEWING & QUILTING

• Use to control fabric fullness at beginning and end of a seam.
• Holds seam allowances open for pressing to prevent burned fingers.
• Helps guide fabric under presser foot when joining intricate lace and trims, and when making narrow and rolled hems.
• Holds seam allowances flat when joining quilt blocks.
• Great for machine piecing.

RIBBON EMBROIDERY

• Use flat prong to create petals, pointed prong to precisely position center in place for stitching.

APPLIQUÉ

• Holds seam allowance when pressing it over edge of template.
• Keeps appliqué flat and edges tucked and folded during machine applique.
