The Clover 7807 Hold It Precision Stiletto allows you to hold fabric in place while sewing or pressing. You can use it at the ironing board or the sewing machine. It features a grippy tip and an angled tip. It is comfortable in the hand, heat resistant and has good reach and visability in use. The special heat resistant silicone tip is ideal for working near the iron while pressing. Joan Hawley says " The rubber tip keeps me from burning my finger at the iron and the bent tip is perfect at the sewing machine."
