FAQs
Can I use these for jewelry making?
Yes, while designed for sewing, their fine point makes them useful for small hobby crafts like jewelry making.
Are they magnetic?
These tweezers are constructed from standard stainless steel and are generally non-magnetic.
Will they rust?
With proper care and keeping them in a dry environment, they are resistant to rust.
Can I use them to pull needle threads?
Yes, they are specifically designed to grasp and pull thread through needles and machine loopers.
Are they dishwasher safe?
It is not recommended to put these in the dishwasher; wipe clean with a cloth instead.
Troubleshooting
Tips are not gripping thread securely
Ensure the tips are clean of lint or oil; gently realign them if they have been slightly bent during heavy-duty use.
Difficulty reaching tight machine spaces
Adjust the angle of approach; the long design is meant to be inserted perpendicular to the needle plate for better clearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No setup is required for the Hemline Fine Point Tweezers; they are ready for use immediately out of the packaging. These are compatible with all standard domestic and commercial sewing machines, overlockers, and sergers. To maintain the precision of the fine points, avoid using the tweezers to pry apart heavy metallic objects or materials that could cause the tips to misalign. Clean the tips periodically with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove any accumulated machine oil or thread residue. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent oxidation.
