Good tip- I have a 5 1/2" but I bet a 10" would sure come in handy for turning. Thanks for telling us where to find them too.

Great tip, Mary...I have a couple pair of these by my machine too.

Mary, I have a pair of these for some reason, but never knew that they would actually be useful in sewing! Thanks for the tip - once I find them (oh well), I'll put them in my sewing room!

I have one too and use it for changing needles for my serger as well as for hand sewing projects where the needle has to pass thru heavy fabric or leather, grabbing the needle with the hemostat helps a lot. I never use stuffing but now I know that I can use it for that purpose too. Thanks for the tip.

Yes, Mary, thanks! I read this and immediately asked DH about fishing supply stores. Two minutes later this mostly-ex-fisherman handed me his 10" and 5 1/2" hemostats. Now could this be a record for the least amount of time between reading a notions hint and owning it?????

They are also very useful in turning the tiny hands of cloth dolls and for stuffing their little fingers, toes.

When I was a kid, I made scrunchies using my mother's sewing machine. I used this from her dissection box (she was a zoologist) to turn the tubes. I didnt know the name of this tool then, but I was always careful never to get caught ;)
