ABSTRACT:
A tool for facilitating the hand sewing of a plurality of cloth laminations, such as the hand sewing of a quilt, comprises a handle portion conveniently held by the fingers of the hand of the user and having an integral tool portion shaped in the general outline of a spoon. The concave surface of the spoon shaped portion is engagable by the thumb or index finger of the user. The tip end of the spoon shaped portion is provided with a substantially flat or horizontal top surface which, when pressed upwardly against the cloth laminations to be sewn, effects a small ridge in such laminations, permitting the convenient insertion of the needle through the ridge and facilitating the production of a substantially uniform width of the successive stitches.
