MicroStitch Tagging Gun Kit – Includes 1 Needle, 540 Black Fasteners & 540 White Fasteners (Starter Kit)

I simply ADORE this. So much so that I purchased 2 more, so I always have one on hand. I initially purchased it as a means of pairing my familys socks prior to putting them into the wash (I was spending WAY too much time matching socks!), and it works pretty well for this purpose. The attachments are small enough not to become entangled with each other in the washer or dryer. They arent big enough, however, to use on socks with a chunky, loose knit. Ive used the Micro stitch on fabric, thin high-quality leather, paper, cardboard, and probably some other things that Im forgetting. I would definitely not consider this a permanent attachment method, but it is just perfect for things that you want to stick together for a while & then be able to separate. I should mention that it is quite sharp, so I would not recommend letting children use this on their own - it is really easy to poke a finger whilst holding together the items you are trying to attach.

Will never take the place of a proper tailor but will help you with a quick fix. Needle is thin so it really doesnt damage fabric but of course if you suspect fabric is delicate then do not use. So far loving it!!! Highly recommend.

Perfect tool for quick on the go wardrobe adjustments!

I tried another version because it was cheaper, but it didn’t work. This guy though is perfection! Perfect for closing low cut tops that show too much cleavage or closing button gap areas. Comes with white and black ties that are hardly seen!

I hate to use safety pins to hold clothes in place. This product is so eady and holds well. Try it!

Ok, all in all a good purchase. It serves the purpose I had for ordering, which was to have the ability to quickly stitch up a hem or sew on a button when in a bind, like when Im rushing to get out the door or get the kids out the door, to mend a hem at work, or whatever. So its great for that. The little plastic stitch things are exactly like the plastic tags you see on clothing tags in the store, except theyre about 2mm long. Thats perfect. They come in black and white and you can order refills easily here on Amazon. While it isnt a deal breaker necessarily for me, the one thing Im not crazy about - and the reason for the loss of one star - is that you can feel the tag against your skin. I used it to mend a hem on my work trousers and, though I can tolerate it, I can feel it, almost like you can feel them on a tag if you forgot to pull it off. Since it was on a pants hem, Im sure it isnt as bad as if it were on something directly touching your skin, such as in the neck of a garment. A bit of an annoyance, but not a deal breaker. I still think its convenient and it serves the purpose I need it for.

What a genius idea! I used it to hold up my rolled up cuffs on my long sleeves. This held my look perfectly❤️ A must have for a woman’s wardrobe!!! I have not used it to conceal my gap on by button up blouses. Though, i am sure it will work like a gem.

Its not a nail gun, not a stapler gun, not even a tag gun. Its a rather delicate thing so if you use it as a gun it will not last long. Its decently manufactured so if you treat it gently like sewing machines it will be fine. The tags are exactly like those used in attaching labels to clothes nowadays. But this is a short proper letter I shaped plastic tag, with the top bar and bottom bar. The height of the character is 4mm as specified. The stitch is basically a hollow needle that go through the fabric. The top of the I is bent in the same direction of the I body so both of them slide through the hollow needle into the other the side of the fabric. When the trigger is released, the top of the T reverts to its natural orientation. So the layers of fabric is sandwiched between the top and bottom of the I tag. Being hollow, sharp and thin, the needle is rather delicate. Indeed I bent the tip a bit when I tried to stitch into my leather crouch with something harder inside. But it still works. Its not a power tool. You have to push the needle through and through into the fabric yourself. Theres no point to shoot the tag through. You can actually squeeze the trigger slowly and gently, and the tag will slide through. What it is good for? Ideally the total thickness of the fabric or thing to be stitched is 4mm. In this case the material have to be able to compress a little to let the top of I to return to its orientation. (You dont need to aware of how the stitcher does this.) If you stitch thin materials, a reviewer said that you have the option of pushing the needle through the fabric and then back up, like using a sewing needle. This single stitch can be about 4mm long. The tag isnt stronger than sewing. Its different. For sewing the force is distributed along the stitches. A single tag alone doesnt survive tearing apart the fabric by hand. The strength depends on how many tags you apply and the strength and density of the fabric itself. If you are stitching thick materials, they cannot be too dense. The needle have to be able to go through it. The needle is a bit thick compared to simple sewing needles, so it is harder to go through thick materials. The cushion cover and armrest of my leather crouch have long degenerated. Otherwise its a perfect piece to sit on, and now becoming an semi-antique due to old age. The cushion is square and over 8 deep. By square I mean every face is rectangular. The problem is that it does not have 6 faces, but more like half of a T viewed from the top. The leather is hard to match, real or fake. Even if matching is not required (by wife), I dont see how I can find a custom made cushion cover or the whole cushion. I have been considering the options over the years, including buying a sewing machine and made a cover ourselves. But so many things can go wrong and it probably wont turn up nicely, at least for the 1st trials. When my wife was browsing online for crouches over $1,000, I know its time for action. First, I got the idea from the web of using a wooden board at the under side of the cushion, and use a stapler gun to mount leather onto it, with the cushion in between. Then I think this one might work by stitching leather to leather and get rid of the board. I was thinking of making a temporary cushion cover but without sewing and measuring. When this guy arrived, I went to the nearest fabric store to get myself some faux leather fabric. Its more common than you think. I went to the store where you can get milk and motor oil at the same checkout! I would have ordered from Amazon but Im not sure how the color will turn out. Matching is out of the question. So I designed a two tone leather crouch, one tone fake, and one tone real. When I got everything together, I knew what to do. I gifted wrap the cushion with the faux leather and used the micro stitch to hold it together. I discovered that a tight wrap doesnt work. That will be easier with staple gun and wood board. A loose wrap turns out nicely. Most of the cushion is a rectangular block so its easy. The stitches are mostly at the hidden areas. When its difficult to hide the stitches, I leave fold lines at the visible area and bring the stitches under the cushion. The little bit sticking out of the rectangular block is a nightmare. Otherwise I would have finished in 5 minutes. Somehow I ended up with diagonal fold lines around that little bit. It was a proof of concept model and it turned out to be working so far. It looked OK, as compared to severely weathered leather and exposed naked cushion. I applied few stitches but the whole thing survived several days of sitting on, both adults and kids. Although its loose fit with some fold lines at the side, it looked like soft leather at a few feet away. The two tone isnt too bad. But if I can find better matching, I will replace it at $7 a yard and 5 minutes of work. The problem is when you drop yourself on the cushion at some height, the cushion cover will turn into a balloon and blow air into the weakest link, or tags. So far Im sure some tags are dislodged, but I have yet to repair my creation.

I’m a busty gal and this little gadget has solved all my problems. I wish I would have had this years ago.

The only problem was there were no instructions whatsoever in the package. Fortunately I was able to find a video online that showed me how to load it. This is not a product to attach anything that will have force on it (so not for buttons) but perfect for fixing a craft, attaching something to cardstock without glue. Very tiny stitches are practically invisible.
