Plan to travel there in June with my daughter, glad to see your video.

I can't wait.

A great video. There was so much to see and you captured it all. Way to go!

Love my purple thang!

You could also use a permanent felt pen to redraw the lines on the fabric.

I used gingham in a 1” aqua to match my sewing room, but it is fading now.

Hi. Thank you. This tool does a lot for such a small simple product. Have a nice day everyone.

I have the tool and never used it, didn’t remember what I bought it for & now I know. Thx❤

I ❤ ur sewing machine table I am from India😊

I hope they come in packs of 20. I’m gonna lose that thang.

I keep misplacing mine!

Meh….Nah…. I mean, I knew all these “uses” because I had watched videos when I got mine (and mine also came with instructions) but after all these years I’m still not impressed and never think to use it and have never understood why people RAVE about these. I think it’s a totally flimsy piece of plastic that I don’t believe is worth what I paid for it (in NZD) especially when I have all these tools already in my sewing room and they’re all better quality, even if this is marketed to be used as a “multi-tool” … but… I still like to have ALL THE SEWING THINGS 😂😂😂

Omg , thank you so so much. I received two of these (pink like yours) as freebies with a craft order and had no idea of the many different uses. I will most certainly get it out of my sew box and keep up front and foremost to use more frequently. 😊❤

I kinda want one made of wood. I wonder if I can hand carve it? I already have 2, I bought a set of 2 purple with a case and a set in teal, my sister mixed and matched so we could both have one of each color and I ended up with the teal case ( brightly colored so I wouldn't lose it). It would be cool to have a wooden one with woodburned measurements along one side. Or even a little message or name engraving! Think of how much it would mean as a gift to another sewist! Or just get one for yourself.

hello very beautiful videos please kindly film how to operate the sewing machine electric foot pedal how its used to sew please ok?thank you very much 😊

I’ve had mine for many many years and yes it is so useful. I’ve always used mine as a stiletto but never realised it could be used as a threader. How dumb am I? At first I thought it was yet another gadget that would be thrown in a drawer, but it is one of my go to items. It is still as new after all this time. Tfs 😊

I use it for knitting toys and dolls. it's the best for getting the stuffing in just how you want. I use the square end for stuffing.

Where can I buy them? (I'm in South Africa)

I wanted to love this tool, but it is plastic, so my sewing machine juat tears it to shreds. I have to go for a metal stiletto. I wiah yheyd make a metal purple thing!

Buy two at a time. Easy to misplace in a sewing room! I wear it with a ribbon.

Thank-you, I have two, but they did not come with any instructions. I have been wondering just what it can do. The elastic bit was easy to figure out and holding fabric saving fingers, but the rest? That curved end, will help tp open up the elastic or draw cord channels too i put triple channels around the top of skirts and trousers, instead of wider elastic. I won't have to keep, a knitting needle handy to push out corners, or a wooden chop stick or a toffee apple stick, to stuff things with The 1/4" would also hold fabric as you feed it through the machine, and keep a check, to get the seam width even too. You could use it to see where to stop sewing on binding as well, i think new uses will come up as I use it to try things. If it's amigurumi, you were stuffing, the tiny ones don't get stuffing, or just the yarn ends can be enough. A tiny cats tail just gets the start tail/yarn end in the very tip. Thanks again. All the best.

Brilliant, I have had this product for many years and never knew all these additional uses.

I just use a chopstick.

I agree with others here - I have also had my Purple Thang for years, but never considered all the uses to which it could be put. Thank you! BTW, I am sure others have told you, you have a lovely smile and a great teaching style. 🇨🇦

I too have one and have never used it. Thanks for all the tips!

Tx...l already like it but now even more

Excellent video! Thank you!

Your video is really helpful in demonstrating the multi-talents of this tool. One technique that I use very often which I didn't notice you demonstrate was sliding the end along seams *inside the item* towards the corner rather than 'pushing & poking' with the stiletto end. I find myself using the square most for this as pushing the stiletto end right into the corner can distort the corner tip. The same sliding along the seam technique with the flat square end also works really well when turning craft items out to achieve a smooth curved profile.

I have a Purple one of these and for the life of me could not remember all of its uses until now 😀 thank you

The multi colored ones are knock offs.

Thank you for this video. My purple thing has been sitting in my sewing box. Got it out while watching this and going to be using it a lot more! Thank you!

My machine comes with a horizontal spool pin and 2 different caps to hold the spool on the pin. Instructions say to use one of them for straight-wound spools and one for cross-wound. The cap for straight-wound is like a cut-off cone. You put it on firmly so the spool cannot rotate. If the spool is small (or large with most of the thread gone) you put the wide end of the cap toward the spool. If it's a larger spool, you put the narrow end of the cap goes toward the spool. Does this approach really counteract the problem of using a straight-wound spool on a horizontal spool pin?

Great information! I have always struggled with thread twists thinking it was the way the thread was wound. I never knew I could “fix” the issue. Thanks. I can’t wait to sew something just to try this out.

Thank you. I have the original and hardly ever think to use it. I appreciate seeing the options and usefulness to it.

What a versatile tool. I’ve learned a lot of uses I didn’t know. Thank you for sharing.

Good information! Thank you!

I have a Kenmore model 1937. It is also from the 70’s. It sure is a sturdy machine. I can relate to your machine although they do differ slightly. Thanks for the video and precise tutorial.

Perfect

Thanks for demystifying the process!

"Helpful step-by-step instructions."

Thank you - new subscriber and I love your channel ❤ I have a 1947 Westinghouse that i recused from and old house that was being torn down home. It needs to be rewired and i can't find anyone to do this. I can't find any "how to" video neither 😕 have an awesome day and again- thank you for all the content ❤

Thank you so much I really really enjoyed watching you talk about the thang. I’m going to have a look on line for one. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤

Nice heating pad.

Neat tool.

What was under the ironing cover? Was it a board with just batting on it or what?

The two things I wanted to know, you just glossed over. How did you separate the ironing surface from the cutting board in the first place? And you never showed what was underneath the top cover. Did you need to fit new padding?

Very nice. Thanks for the ideas!

Velcro is a OK idea.. but now you have a gap when you cut and your matt will Crack.

Thank you!
