Push, poke, pull, turn, and guide your fabric with precision using the world-famous "That Purple Thang" by Lynn Graves! Known throughout the quilting and sewing world as the ultimate “third hand,” this indispensable little notion takes the frustration out of detailed stitching and keeps your fingers safely away from the needle.
Thoughtfully engineered with multiple functional ends, it features a curved flat tip for guiding fabric right up to the presser foot, a square 1/4" edge for quick seam allowance checks, a pointed end for crisp corner turning without poking through fabric, and a built-in slot to thread elastic, ribbon, or drawstrings. Lightweight yet sturdy, it quickly becomes the most reached-for tool beside your machine.

Why We Love It
Ask any experienced maker—once you have That Purple Thang by your sewing machine, you'll wonder how you ever stitched without it. From feeding bulky bag seams smoothly under the presser foot to turning sharp, clean corners, it solves dozens of everyday sewing hiccups.
Coral and Olive Inspiration
- Project Pairings: Ideal for bag making, quilt block piecing, apparel sewing, turning collars and straps, and threading elastic through waistbands or casings.
- Finger-Saving Stiletto: Use the curved point to hold seam intersections flat as they feed under your needle without risking pinched fingers.
- Perfect Corners & Stuffing: Gently poke out corners on zipper pouches, pillows, and collars to create crisp, defined points without tearing your stitches, or use it to push fiberfill evenly into tight corners.
- Wearable Convenience: Thread a piece of ribbon through the center slot and wear it around your neck so it's always within arm's reach during long sewing sessions.
