What is the Star DeTailer you ask? It's an easy tool for Detailing the back of your needle work.
Fiber Hiders are unique (and pretty!) little tools that are very useful for tucking extra thread under stitches--especially when the thread isn't long enough to re-thread a needle. Simply place the wire part under several completed stitches on the back, use the hook to place the thread in the opening of the wire, and then pull to hide the thread under the stitches. Available in a variety of designs in an antique pewter finish, Fiber Hiders are a must-have hand embroidery accessory!
Use it to tuck embroidery floss ends back under the stitches. It looks like it has a needle threader. The wire has a "twist" on the looped tip. This is great for really holding on to the floss end before tucking it under the stitches.
Slide the Star DeTailer under existing stitches on the backside of your work.
Slip the floss tail through the loop of the DeTailer.
The loop has a "twist" on the tip, this will hold the floss securely as you pull. Make sure that the end of the floss in in the loop.
Pull the floss tail under the existing stitches. Cut off floss close to stitches.
You know when you have only a couple stitches left but your floss is too short to thread the needle... the Star DeTailer can help with that. Bring your DeTailer up through the fabric, Slide the floss through the loop, Pull DeTailer through then secure floss under stitches.
