Getting a Grip – Rubber Tipped Pliers<\/h2>\n

Do you do beading?\u00a0 Have you tried to sew through the many layers of a stiff built or a heavily padded bra, only to have your needle get stuck somewhere on it’s slide from one side to the other?\u00a0\u00a0 Even if you push really hard with your thimble, sometimes it’s nearly impossible to get a grip to pull on the other side.\u00a0 What do I do?\u00a0\u00a0 I use a pair of rubber tipped pliers!<\/p>\n

How do they work?\u00a0 You can use pliers to grip even a short length of needle tip.\u00a0 The rubber gives you adequate grip to really pull the needle through, and since you’re using your entire hand to grip the pliers, it’s more comfortable too.<\/p>\n

The pair I own comes from Fons & Porter and I picked it up in the quilting section of the JoAnn’s near my home, but you can find other brands from different outlets. I use them in conjunction with a metal thimble – for maximum push – and bees wax to condition and smooth the thread.<\/p>\n

Rubber tipped pliers allow me to stitch through more complex beading.\u00a0 One of the ongoing projects I’m working on is adding appliques to an already beaded bra.\u00a0 This would have been an impossible sewing job if not for these pliers.<\/p>\n
