fastazzu Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Hello everyone, I hope you're haveing a good day? I'm from Fisherville, Kentucky (just outside of Louisville) you blink and you miss it; any way I have checked our (3) quilt stores and they don't seem to have one or they are sold out. I've tried looking on-line; still no luck. I don't know if I'm spelling it wrong or what. Does anybody know where I could possible get one. I appreciate any help that you could give me. Thank you, Donna Hays Milli (Becky) DonnaCarol Designs,Inc. Fisherville, Ky 40023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramona-quilter Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 It is one "L" and 2 "T"s stiletto. Try Ginger's Needleworks online at: http://www.quiltknit.com/notions/page10.htm There are a couple of them there. But the one I use is a wooden barbeque skewer broken in the middle. You can get them in the grocery store, usually near the charcoal briquettes. They come 30 -50 in a bag for about $2. If it gets broken or dull, I toss it and get another out of the bag.

ffq-lar Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Hi Donna-- The bamboo skewer is also a good choice because if you accidently run over it with your DSM, the skewer will split or break----instead of the needle.

fastazzu Posted September 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Lynn, Thank you for your reply. Well, now I have several ideas to use. I found the stiletto finally on the internet. One of them was called 6th finger stiletto and then I found a brass stiletto and a silver one. All on different web sites I might add. They ranged in prices from $9.99 to $22.99 so, I purchased a couple of each since I'm so bad at forgetting where I've put something. Ya know, that thing called Some Timers. I have it bad. Also I was told by one of the (3) quilt shops that we have to try a Fondau (errrrrr spelling) fork. :mad: Thank you all for your help, you've been great. Oh, I almost forgot; I printed off information on some of the web sites incase anybody is interested. Please forgive my bad spelling and grammer!! I need to attach a spell checker to my person.

Jhend Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 In the dollar store, I found a simple tool kit that had several types of large tweezers. They work great as a stiletto as well as picking up my fabric pieces that I already have matched up and ready to sew. Helps them stay together. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

quiltingnanny Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Donna, do you have a chinese returant nearby ? I pick up the chopsticks and cut them a little shorter. They make wonderful stilettos and 'poker'. And the price is the best ! Free, my favorite 4 letter word !! The best thing is they are wood, the metal ones can be lethel to the machine . glenda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltingnanny Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 That should be resturant ! How come we don't have a spell checker ? Our minds work faster than our fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katie.mac Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 I use a wooden cuticle stick. I like the way the ends are sharpened just right. A package of 4 is $1.99 Katie http://community.webshots.com/user/katiemcgraw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastazzu Posted September 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Katie, I agree with you on the spell checker. I'm the worlds worst when it comes to spelling,grammer OH!!! Let's not forget math too. Thank you for your reply, I'll have to get some chopsticks the next time I go out for dinner.
