Fabric punch tool, what's that thing called?

[Pixieglitter]

Thank you all so much! I purchased 2 different rotary blades online from Nancy's Notions. One cuts evenly spaced holes every 3/8 inch and the other every 3/16 inch. Both fit a 45mm rotary. I can't wait to get them in the mail and get started on some fun gift projects!

BTW the 3/8 inch is called "Edge Perfect" and the 3/16 inch is called "Skip-cut." These blades will work much better for me than manually punching each hole with an awl. I'll never get the holes perfectly spaced and lined up. The blades will give me a perfect look.

Y'all are all the best!

hey y'all,

can someone tell me what the tool is called that you use to punch a tiny hole in fabric so you can crochet an edging? I'd like to crochet a trim edging on some things, like pillow cases.

I need to know what the punch tool is called so i can buy one.

Also, have you used one? Is it easy to use? Do you like it and does it really make a nice clean hole in the fabric?

Thank you!
Shelley

skip and stitch. Googled it and bought off internet

I ordered a "Sharp Crochet Hook." Come to find out it is nothing more than a #12 steel crochet hook (which I already had). Comparing the two there is no difference. It was expensive for a crochet hook!

Add me to the group who learned about the Sharp crochet hook. It really is not much different than the small steel hooks I already had!

The name of the tool is Bodkin. Just googled for the tool name and then looked up the name in the Miriam Webster online dictionary...!

Hi:
Long time ago, my mother use a paper puncher, you use it to punch paper holes and paper.
They are hard to fine, but that what she used to make hole in fabric.
I hope this helps.

Although I do not own one, I believe that quite afew people use the EdgeryDoo tool to punch holes for crochet edges. Regarding the towel toppers, I just use a steel hook size 3 or a B hook to punch holes and work the first line, then I usually switch to a size G hook to complete it.
