Knit pickers work only when you have a loop you can grab and pull to the back of the fabric, while a snag picker works with fabrics that have a snag that does not have a distinct loop to catch. If you pull the barb to the back, the snag will be pulled out. Both tools are owned by me and I use them.

Oh my gosh! Before I realized that you're supposed to PULLS it through the fabric, not use it like a needle, where you go into and out of the fabric, I used this thing for so long I thought it was broken! In an attempt to grab the threads, I pointed out that my husband thought it would be better if I grabbed them differently. My life was certainly made easier when I realized you have to pull it all the way through the item!.
After unzipping the cushion and pulling the tool through the fabric snag, the snags were no longer present in a matter of seconds. Everything works as it should! Because the tool only works by pulling it through, it won't work on snags where you don't have access to both sides of the fabric. As well as a couple of sweaters I initially thought were doomed, I applied this technique to them and they dried.
This program has been extremely valuable in helping me repair many items that might otherwise have ended up in the trash or become the attention grabbing eyesore. Of course, I've pulled snags in sweaters, but I've also pulled snags in blankets, scarves, my handknitted items*such as socks and slippers, and even a sock monkey that I cherish. There's only one complaint I have about it, which is that it's very short. I have tremors due to a nerve condition, so it's difficult to hold it. It takes a while for me to snag the snag so that I can Also, if the companies would consider making one of these a bit longer, with a magnifying glass on top and a light, that would be an ideal snag prevention However, it is a very useful piece of software.
Stretch jeans are great, but they snag a lot, which makes them look old after a few wears. A snag puller like this is by far the fastest, easiest device I've ever encountered. An ordinary sewing needle can be used to make a stitch. Simply push the "needle" through the protruding snag from the "right side" of the fabric, pull the needle end through to the back side, and the snag will be gone from the right side. This will take about The method might not work with thin tricot knits, but I have not tried it with them yet. It was the snags in my jeans that were bothering me, and I was able to repair at least a dozen of them, in 3 pairs Using a regular snag puller means I would still be searching for the first snag when I get to the second.
I buy this to avoid it. It was recommended that I use a felting needle to fix it, but I found this easier and cheaper. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that for the needle to work you need to pull it all the way through, not just jab it with the sharp end. skewering the needle in one place and then pulling it through another place by inserting it in one place and skewering it back up. If you want to fix furniture, pick up the 38 star felting needle instead. It worked well but took some time. I can imagine it's great for clothing that's caught, but if you're looking to fix clothing, use the 20.
Several years ago, when I was pet-sitting for my brother, I observed that one of his dogs had tried to dig a hole in his brand-new couch. Upholstery was torn with large snags more than an inch long and a number of small holes. As I had never used a Dritz Snag Nab before, I was amazed to discover how easy it is to repair. In my case, I inserted the needle at the base of the snags and pulled through until the snags were pulled back. I have a picture of a before and after of the couch I could see through some of the holes in the upholstery cushion that the snags were so bad. As a result of pulling the threads back through, I was able to repair the hole that was left behind in the threads,.
The first time I used this on my upholstered chair, I wasn't completely sure how it worked. In addition to pushing the errant thread through the fabric, "snag fixers" suggest pulling it through the back. The result will hopefully be a neat, smooth snag free garment. A piece of upholstery can't do this, of course! To get the chair to work, I had to pierce through the fabric and place the tool over the snagged web. Next, I slid the tool into the fabric (like a gigantic running stitch) and pulled the tool out of the fabric. For those of you wondering how the snagged thread ended up in the chair, it was abraded at the end of the tool, which caught the thread and stuffed it into the chair.
