Can you use this hook to crochet on the edges of items that have not been hemstitched? Also, can it be used to decorate pillowcases?

The hems stitch in this case is usually used to keep edges from unraveling before applying a decorative edging. I personally have not tried this. Since you can use the edgit through several layers at a time, I personally fold down the raw edges, pierce through the double layer and proceed. This eliminates the hemstitch step, & you still have an edge that is neat & will not unravel! The same goes for your pillow edging. Since you already have a neatly folded edge, just pierce and have at it! Run Brenda Run! Lol! ;-)

I like Boye hooks because of the pointed head. Bates are kind of square and not good for small stitches. Use what with you are comfortable with.

Personally, I would sew or glue loops on the edge and then string on some type of string or twine. I guess you could staple them also but I'd prefer what ever method would do the less damage.

Yes, it is probably most often used for that purpose. I actually purchased my bottle from the arts and crafts department. It has been a while since I made crochet ornaments, but I remember that Sta-Flo is the starch I used for my project. I've been hanging the "snowflakes" on my Christmas tree every year for nearly twenty years.

I don't have the specific case you mentioned - but they are pretty much "standard" size and fit in all of the crochet cases I have which are soft. If the case you are referring to has really narrow tube-like slots graduated for each size - these probably would not fit.

No because of location of hook.You can hang a flower pot or other decoration on it. Very nice hook.

To add to Amanda's answer......These are used to pin down knit or crochet projects when blocking to correct size. As example, if your project is supposed to be 4 inches by 4 inches square, you can dampen the knitting/crochet and pin to an accurate 4 x 4 square and let air dry. When dry, your project should be 'blocked' to size. The pins do not rust so no probs with getting wet. I'm sure there are many other uses outside of blocking fiber designs. ;->

Al: Good question and actually many answers. That little hook is a very handy too especially for pulling wire, leather, or small nylon rope through holes in steel plate, leather, nylon bags etc. In addition the hook can be used for stretching a variety of objects.Good LuckDA of Colorado

Yes - this can be used to stuff amigurumi animals. Just be sure to stuff the stuffing TIGHTLY in the crocheted animal, since the composition of the stuffing does not matter, it just matters that it is packed densely and tightly so that as the stuffing expands and warps over time it does not warp the animal.

Use the thick yarn or double the other normal yarn. I love making scarfs and hats&#128512;

I'm sure you could. There's not anything you could affix it with such as loops/ hooks since it's smooth with the magnets inside fabric. You could pin up or clip I guess. Amazon may have a better product for what you are looking for. This is somewhat small and you may like a larger piece if you are steaming garments.

this can be taped to fabric to hold in place or it can be hooped. Yes you can draw on it but why? When it is washed it washes away. This is a stabilizer for embroidery machines and also used for backing to keep the material from moving and giving it stabilization while being sewed on. Used for light weight materials or materials that move while being sewed on.

I do a basic straight stitch and not familiar to other stitches. The tool is very handy and for making medicine bags it works great.

I called Dritz, the manufacturer. They said the little blue hook was added at the request of small quilt shops who wanted to hang the stock item on a wall (the packaging may be different). It is of no use to the user.

Yes, it should work well to secure yarn knots. It will stay flexible & waterproof. I use it to seal frayed ends on fabric all the time, especially on nylon straps when I cut them. Put a thin layer on, then work it in the fabric with a toothpick & wipe off excess, and when its semi-dry after several minutes, gently squeeze the fibers together with your finger tips to compress the fibers so the edge is nice 'n compact. Let dry for several days.

I'm sure you do. the hook can hang with some clips or fasteners and steam ironing her. Amazon is likely to have some product for steam ironing.

I have not had occasion to use it to sew patches on a leather jacket. I have a heavy duty Singer electric machine, and have not found anything the Janome can't match. You would need a strong needle and a good treadle cabinet and belt. Sorry I'm not of more help.
