~By Annie Stiletto and Pressing Tool – Notion review~

The By Annie Stiletto & Pressing tool was designed by Annie Unrein in 2015. She is an amazing pattern designer, has several Craftsy Classes and even designs her own foam stabilizer, Soft and Stable and so much more!

Annie is a really creative and talented designer. It was an honor to interview her while creating my video for this notion.

What does it look like?

6-1/2″ long with a 1-1/4″ point
Clear plastic tube (reminds me of a fish tank tube) covers the end
Point reminds me of a fine nail file
Lots of curves which fits the hand comfortably
Flat sides so it doesn’t roll off the table
Wood is high quality European beech and very light-weight – weighs 7gms compared to a traditional pen at 9gms
Pressing tool at the other end with the perfect angle

How do you use the By Annie Stiletto & Pressing tool?

Stiletto side can be help on 90 degree angle or like a pencil
At 90 degree angle is sort of acts like a walking foot helping move the fabric along
Grips fabric opening seams easily
Once seam is open, use pressing tool side to smooth out the seam
