Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

It's good to have a little pointer that can get close to that sewing machine needle instead of your finger. You really don't want to sew your fingertip and that usually results in a fun little trip to the emergency room. So, use this little pointer instead and be able to stay home. Home is where the wine is anyway. It also keeps the seams down so you don't have to wiggle jiggle them down as you come up on them while sewing. As usual, it's no fun to get the seam ripper out because you have a bent over seam in the middle of the line of sewing and no MATTER how much you try to iron that sucker FLAT, it won't go flat enough to make it look nice. So just hold down the seam in the first place with this purple thang and all will be easier. You COULD get a metal pointer that would do the same thing as this purple thang, but....I don't know about YOU but I tend to sew over things sometimes and I have found that it is better to sew over a plastic thang more than a metal thing. Twang goes the needle in the sewing maching....just sayin'. So, ya...buy this. Life will be better.
