       The sharp curve between the points can and will dull...and one
       or both points may break off (catching in fabric, falling, or
       some such thing).  I have probably five of them around the
       sewing room (some sewing machines come with a small one in the
       "kit") and one wooden one with a ripper at one end and an awl at
       the other...I hate having to LOOK for a tool when I need it & I
       have several machines...serger, cover stitch, vintage sewing
       machine, quilt machine (wider work area), and an embroidery
       machine...or two...or three.  I can't get rid of the present
       from DH!  Even if the newer ones are the ones that I use the
       most (has to do with the stitches & the size of the hoops).
       It's our 45th anniversary today - so keeping the embroidery
       machine that was a present five or six years ago is still
       important to me.  Now, if I have to downsize because we move in
       a few years, I will admit that it is probably going to be the
       first one on the "sell or donate" table.  Depending on how much
       downsizing has to be done...it won't be the last...but after a
       couple of machines, it gets harder to pick on NOT to keep.

       Happy Anniversary! 45 years is quite an accomplishment.
       Mr. bridalviolet and I are coming up on our 25th in a few days.

       I have one that was part of the kit I got to take home ec in 7th
       grade. Probably 1971? I scratched my name in the turquoise
       plastic handle. The clear lid is long gone.
