SILKY AND 'LIL TIGER TAMER
Silky shown with optional 'Lil Tiger Tamer.
Quarter shown for sizing purposes only.
The Silky is a very small (approximately 1¼" wide by 1¾" high) pin holder that is used to hold the silk pins used by sewers with their domestic machines. As with the other pin holders I make, this one incorporates a powerful magnet in its flat base. It will attach anywhere you need it as I supply a metal disc that you can glue or tape in place anywhere. What most of my customers are doing is gluing the metal disc to the top of the sewing machine just above the needle on the arm of the machine. Rubber cement or another type that will easily come off of the machine will work great. The powerful magnet in the Silky will easily hold it to the washer base on the machine head. If you need to move the Silky from place to place, you can attach metal discs anywhere one will fit. The Silky comes with a metal disc and the wooden pin holder. The customer needs to supply the appropriate adhesive for their specific setup. For the adhesive, I suggest readily available double sided tape as it can easily be removed from the machine if you decide to move the disc.
Do not attach the disc to the area immediately above the computer module of your machine as the magnet might interfere with the module.
The 'Lil Tiger Tamer functions in the same manner as do the Kitty Kover and the Feline Fooler. Their purpose is to hide the pins from cats. They also serve as a handy carrying case when you want to transport the pins to another location.
