What is the "gismo" called and where do you buy it, that is need with the Heirloom Alpha, from the Needle of Ann?

Oh wow, I didn't even realize that. When I go to Joanne Fabrics I will be sure to get one. I don't think my machine came with one.

So that's what it's called an eyelet punch. Thanks to all of you.

Oldandgrey gave you the answer. My embroidery/sewing machine came with an eyelet punch, so you might check to see whether or not your machine came with a similar type tool. It would be a small tool that looks similar to a stylus.

I think you are talking about an eyelet punch. I got one at my sewing machine dealers...you can also get one at Nancys Notions. I have the one that comes with a button hole cutter and a TINY little mat to cut on. Love it. Mine happens to be a White brand, but there are others.

The eyelet punches that I use, I bought as a set from a hardware store, but they should be available at craft outlets as well

I see 'From the Needle of Anne' has 50% off at the moment. Love her designs. That is at OregonPatchworks.
Please explain in more detail what you are searching for.....

Are you talking about wss or rehooping?

Ask you question again please. I do not understand.
