my mom had one and i remember it made the job much easier. it's like a safety pin with a long, thin handle. i also need to rethread a small ribbon through one of dd's dresses that is too narrow for big safety pin. [ Reply | More ]

Pearl paint has a big craft store in another location near the paint supply building. But just use a safety pin. [ Reply | More ]

it'd be too big..maybe i'll try a smaller one, but this tool with the handle just makes it super-quick. [ Reply | More ]
