The all-metal 6 inch, Thread-O-Stat Thread Grabber from Featherweight Shop has a smooth jaw, so thread is gripped firmly and steadily as you clench the handles together. While a standard "hemostat" has a toothed tip, which prevents a firm grasp, the Thread-O-Stat grips more like a tweezer! Once you grab hold of your thread with the Thread-O-Stat, it holds tight until you are ready to release it. The Thread-O-Stat can also be used for turning sashes right side out or removing paper from the back of piecing projects. Whenever you need to take hold of something in a small space, the Thread-O-Stat is an easy-to-use, indispensable tool to have at hand!
