With the Gripper, you can easily pull needles through thick fabric, remove thread from stitches and seams, or replace machine needles. This handy tool has many uses - it also allows you to clamp and hold fabric in place and even use as tube turners. This tool will help you to hold these and other hard to handle items without them constantly slipping out of your hand. The gripper is also recommended for tightening set screws, removing bobbins and thread tangled in bobbins, as well as assisting with threading.
