  • Patent number: 11098425
    Abstract: A sewing machine guiding tool includes a presser foot, a holder and a gauge. The presser foot includes a bottom wall and a rear support. The bottom wall is formed with a needle-passing hole and with a slit extending from the needle-passing hole to the front end of the bottom wall. The rear support is connected to the rear end of the bottom wall. The holder, attached to a presser bar of the sewing machine, holds the presser foot pivotally about a horizontal axis. The gauge, supported by the rear support to be slidable in parallel to the horizontal axis, includes a ruler plate and a guide portion. The ruler plate has a surface marked with a scale. The guide portion extends from the ruler plate. The ruler plate is disposed above the bottom wall with its surface inclined to become higher as proceeding rearward.

  • Patent number: 8727189
    Abstract: The pin holder wearable at the wrist includes a main body and a band supporting the main body and being wearable at the user's wrist. The main body includes permanent magnets and a casing. The casing accommodates the permanent magnets and has attraction surfaces at the top portion. The attraction surfaces serve to attract and hold needlecraft pins by the magnet force of the permanent magnet. The band is in the shape of a strip as a whole, and can change into the first form that the band is stretched straight or the second form that the band curves in the longitudinal direction to form a ring. The main body is relatively movable with relation to the band with a predetermined friction resistance.
