Finishing a stitched piece comes with a great sense of accomplishment, and then deciding on how to display the project brings a world of possibilities, especially when moving beyond framing. Whether that stitched beauty is destined to be an ornament, a pin keep, a scissors sheath or a small wall hanging, getting a crisp corner during the sewing process can be a challenge. Enter the Hold It Precision Stiletto from Clover.

Made from a strong, heat-resistant resin, the Hold It Precision Stiletto allows stitchers to maneuver fabric right up to the edge of a needle or iron. One end of the stiletto features a sharp, curved tip, which allows fabric manipulation without allowing the stiletto to get in the way. The other end features a silicone-coated tip that is beveled to allow for more friction in holding pieces in place. The stiletto retails for under $13 and is available at craft stores nationwide.
