Heritage Crafts Brass Stiletto Gift Boxed- is made of polished and lacquered brass and is a re-creation of an antique sewing tool that has many uses for the sewer and needlecrafter. It can be used as a ripper for very fine stitches, easing fabric under a presser foot, holding down lace or ribbon as it is being sewn onto a garment, and applique. Keep tool capped and out of the reach of children when not in us.
