Trivia
- Muffy uses the bobbin to save a plush anteater of hers named "Andy". It wears Arthur's sweater - a clever in-joke.
- Nemo's design has changed in this episode after his debut in "Francine and the Feline", and has remained in subsequent seasons.
Cultural references
- Elias Howe was a real-world inventor. He was the first to make a sewing machine with: a needle with the eye at the point, a shuttle operating beneath the cloth to form the lock stitch, and an automatic feed.
