The Tomato and the Strawberry

I bought this ages ago because there was a “going out of business” sale happening.  It wasn’t until recently that I found out that what the little “red paper” was used for.   I must have missed the memo somehow.  I truly wish I had been enlightened so much earlier.  I’ve used needles (hand stitching) with an irritating barb on the tip.  I’ve had to discard them and that annoys me too.  Now I’m looking forward to my next problem needle to give the “strawberry” a go.
