Needle Grippers!

I finally sourced some very diminutive Dritz Needle Grippers at A.C. Moore.  $2.00 is better than the huge version on Amazon for $11.34.  ($11.34 for needle grippers???  Does anyone find that curious besides me?) In the past, I’ve simply used an old pair of hemostats or some other form of pliers for the task of pulling through a pesky needle.  People on both of the new sites I’m reading have been raving about this tool.  I’ve seen them before, but never thought much about them, so I’ll have to report back when I actually get a chance to use one.
