Hi Maxine, That is probably a good tool to have but I haven't been able to figure out how it works. I bought one once with a few other items I thought would be handy but never figured out how it's intended to be used. But you did give me a good idea to Google what I've been describing and I found what I talking about with LuAnn. It's called a "Snag Nab It" by Dritz. Here is a link to a pictue of it. http://www.dritz.com/brands/dritz/products/dr618_s.jpg Ed Orantes -------------- Original message from "marnox" <marnox@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>: -------------- A similar device is a "Dritz Knit Picker" - google this and you can see a picture. It should be available at your local fabric stores and/or fabric areas of Walmart, etc. It allows you to pull a thread to the back of a garment.

I'm sure any sewing supply place would carry them. It's about three inches long. It is a shiny silver color. And looks like an oversized stick pin without a head.
