That Purple Thang: The best sewing tool for all crafters
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 бер 2024
- Check out my favourite sewing tool of all time. Purple Thang is one of the best sewing tools available to quilters, seamstresses, knitters, crocheters, and crafters because of its versatility and endless uses.
Love my purple thang!
I agree!
Brilliant, I have had this product for many years and never knew all these additional uses.
Thanks for watching and so glad to help!
What a versatile tool. I’ve learned a lot of uses I didn’t know. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have a Purple one of these and for the life of me could not remember all of its uses until now 😀 thank you
I’m glad you have a bank of ideas now!
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. 🇨🇦
Awe, you are so kind! Thank you for the support!
I have one but you have shown me so much more I can do with it. I love the “needle” idea for elastic! So cool.
Yay! Thanks for watching!
Hi. Thank you. This tool does a lot for such a small simple product. Have a nice day everyone.
It’s very true!
I too have one and have never used it. Thanks for all the tips!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video! Thank you!
Thanks for the encouragement! Glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you. I have the original and hardly ever think to use it. I appreciate seeing the options and usefulness to it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
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 ❤❤❤❤
Thanks Mags!
I have the tool and never used it, didn’t remember what I bought it for & now I know. Thx❤
Happy to help!
Great video. I have had mine for several years and didn’t know all these uses. Thanks
It’s so versatile!
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 love this! Thanks for the tip! I appreciate the feedback.
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. 😊❤
Great! It’s glad it was useful for you.
Neat tool.
We love it!
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!
Glad it was helpful!
Tx...l already like it but now even more
That’s great!
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 😊
Not dumb at all! These things are not spelled out on the packaging so how would you know! Thanks for tuning in and supporting my channel.
Thanks! I had no idea that it could be used for anything else besides pushing things under the needle like an awl.
Glad I could help!
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.
Yes! I agree, it is fantastic for stuffing.
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.
Yes, wood would be so much nicer to have this product in. Check out Modern American Vintage at modernamericanvintage.com/collections/quilting-tools/tools
They make similar tools and MAN they are like eye candy!!!!
I use a wooden clay tool…does all this and more…great for holding seams when ironing and being none varnished wood it’s not harmed with the heat..
Great idea!
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.
Great ideas. Thanks for posting!
Thanks for suggesting the tip about using it when sewing on binding. Very clever and practical!
I agree!
Buy two at a time. Easy to misplace in a sewing room! I wear it with a ribbon.
Smart!
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!
Are you putting it under the needle? How is the sewing machine even in contact with it?
💜
Where can I buy them? (I'm in South Africa)
Amazon seems to be the best place or fabric stores
I keep misplacing mine!
Ugh! Story of my life!
I just use a chopstick.
That works too!
You can’t thread a chopstick. 😂
@@teresa3049 Yeah, I use a safety pin to guide elastic. I think all of these uses can be done without buying an item I don't need. But I could get my husband to make a hole in it to thread. 😂😂😂
Such a great idea.
I hope they come in packs of 20. I’m gonna lose that thang.
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 😂😂😂
Yup, not everything is going to work for everyone but I definitely appreciate the feedback.
@@threadedsewing it’s probably my fault cos I have to buy ALL THE SEWING THINGS so a little piece of plastic is never gonna beat my lovely metal well-crafted shinies… but hey, I’ll still buy them all 😂
Haha! 😆 don’t we all!
