Needlework Tool: Thread-Tucker-Tweaker-Fixer-Thingy
Quite a while ago, when I was writing about tambour embroidery, a reader asked about a tool in my tool box that showed up in one of my photos.
Well, I would have answered the tool question a little more clearly and directly, except that, in all honesty, I didn’t know what the tool was called.
Sometimes, I call it a Tucker Tool. Sometimes, I call it a Tweaker. Sometimes, I call it by its long name (invented by me) – it’s a Thread-Tucker-Tweaker-Fixer-Thingy.
Not knowing its official name made it somewhat difficult to look up, but I did eventually find it online. I discovered that it has an official name – it is a Stitch Fixer.
I wasn’t too far off!
Let me introduce you to this handy tool that’s been in my box for years, and that I use All the Time, for All Kinds of Things.
