#FantasticCrossStitchToolsAndWhereToFindThem

Mechanics normally use a #Mechanics Telescoping Magnetic Pick-Up Tool 2 pick up small bolts & other metal that have fallen as they work, but those who #CrossStitch, #Sew, #Quilt, etc., can use it to pick up lost pins & needles so they don't wind up goosing someone when they sit on the couch. 😅 Can be found in almost any automotive store or automotive tool section in Walmart. Some versions even have flashlights on the end! @lemmy_stitch @crossstitch

@Stitch26 @lemmy_stitch @crossstitch I work mostly with fingering yarn so the little plastic bits are teeny. I doubt if that would work. But that is a great price for the whole set.

@Sarah @lemmy_stitch @crossstitch The one my Husband has is actually REALLY SMALL. Until I actually saw it, I didn't think a grab tool could be that little and actually work! You may want to see if you can find one in a store to see for yourself if it may be the right size to help.

@Stitch26 @lemmy_stitch @crossstitch I need to visit a hardware store. :) Or order from Temo - since it is almost certain to be smaller than it looks.
