MicroStitch® All‑in‑One Tagging Gun Kit – Ultra‑Fine Needle Tagger with Black/White & Color Fasteners – Fabric‑Safe for Clothing Repairs, Quilting, Crafts, and DIY Projects (Black & White)

Fantastic little device. Easily puts a little plastic stitch in your clothing. It comes with clear/white and black plastic stitches. The men in my family use this frequently to pin down the collars on their shirts. I use them to secure a low cut blouse or even hem clothes when in a pinch. I even wash clothes with them in and most of the time they hold though the wash. So easy to use and great for travel since it is so small. The little stitches are tiny and very hard to see. I do recommend testing your material in a hidden location. The little needle that you stick through the fabric can leave a little bit of a hole but 90% of the time it is not a problem.

I got one in USA and it slid down on the floor, from 6, 7 inch height from the crossed knee on the laminated wooden floor, and, as the needle point faced down first, the needle got bent, and it won't sew the stitch any more.The other kit I ordered through Amazon UK site, for another project in London, I dropped it from the chest level, while I was sewing and connecting the curtain panels already hung at the window areas. And, the entire grey needle base is shattered. Then, I realized how expensive the needles were! And, they were not readily available, either!And, the 4 sets of replacement needles are from $40 to 22 pounds to get, on Amazon USA or UK sites. And, I see no user was actually mentioning how impractical it can be, with such fragile metal point, or grey plastic base they are. I already ordered 3 microstitch kits, to finish the work, and, they are not good after the first use of light stitch work, and never last long enough for the 2nd time. Just put lots of rugs and thick towels around your work area.Simply they are too delicate to work with. It is very costly to replace these needles. They are NOT coming in 1-day, or, 2-day prime shipping. It is not cost effective, or convenient, this way, but, Very wasteful.I started to think I should just hand stitch the little bit of the areas, instead of pulling my hairs deciding whether it is cheaper to buy the replacement needles or a whole new kit each time. Either way, they are very expensive knowing that they break apart easily.

This is the tool that you didn't know existed or needed - until you have it! We use this for our shirts when the buttons are too low or too high. The needle is sharp so be careful - but this works great! I bought the option with a number of different colors for the fastener which makes it more flexible to match the color.

Easy to use after looking up a video.

I bought this specifically for on-the-fly alterations/adjustments when working with styling clients outside my studio space. Wow! What a game changer!Once I got it working properly I was floored at how convenient and easy it is to use! It's small (about the size of an adult hand) and lightweight so it's easy to pack and carry for field-work.For reference, I'm a photographer and a stylist... my job is styled photoshoots. With this handy little tool, I can quickly and temporarily hem pants to desired length based on client's shoes/height . I can quickly adjust gaps and straps on clothing, add darts, cover bra straps by tacking clothing straps to bra straps, and stitch necklines that are too wide or too low without permanently altering the outfits, therefore saving them for future use.My only caveat was the setup. I gave 4 stars because it was not easy to set it up and get it working properly - it took several tries. Much like when a stapler gets jammed... this thing can jam up like that. It happened immediately on my first through 15 tries or so, and I just kept messing with it until it worked. The other issue, which may not actually be an issue, was that it feels so lightweight I worry it won't hold up long. Time and use will tell.

If you are reading this, you need it. If you know how to sew, do that instead. Sewing is better. But you don’t know how to sew. That’s why you are reading this. BUY IT, BUT FIRST:It cost me $70. I bought one and ruined it immediately. Bought another one and read the directions. Value = I like it so much is almost worth the $70. lolPut the tags in properly. Don’t move the dials unless you know what they do. Someone else said that it’s not a power tool but a delicate crafting device. This is fantastic advice. If you treat it like something you bought at Home Depot, you will be sorely disappointed.And if you let your husband take it apart, it will never go back together.Use: pay attention to all the common sense and sewing advice out there. Like you may want to feed the needle in and back out again before you click it.Soft fabric: I did put some pretty big holes into a nice shirt that I have. The needle is much bigger diameter than, say, a safety pin, so the hole will be bigger than you think.If this review seems negative, it’s because I’m nit-picky. Remember, I PAID $70 for it and I STILL THINK IT’S WORTH IT!!Everyone needs this. Even if you think you don’t. When my hems used to come out of my work pants, I would staple them. That works, but this is much better. I’m sure sewing is the best option, but who knows how to do that?? Not you—or you wouldn’t need this.

Loved this little handy tool. Perfect for last minute fixes, running out the door, oops! my bra is showing or a strap is slipping. Slide the needle through all layers, shoot and go! Some of the stitches even lasted through multiple rounds of laundry, keeping the garment in tact wear after wear. However, for the price ($35 at the time I bought it a year ago) and the durability, this is where we lose stars. The needle starts to wear rather quickly, after too few clothing punctures, in my opinion. Sure, there are replacements, but they are not much better. Add to that, the gun/spring mechanism starts to lose potency over time as well and ends up "sticking" making it difficult to separate from your clothes, potentially causing damage there. In all, I love the invention and am here shopping for another one, but I won't be buying this one mostly due to the price and fact it should have lasted more than a year.

It's not a nail gun, not a stapler gun, not even a tag gun. It's a rather delicate thing so if you use it as a 'gun' it will not last long. It's 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 it's 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. It's not a power tool. You have to push the needle through and through into the fabric yourself. There's 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 it's orientation. (You don't 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 isn't stronger than sewing. It's different. For sewing the force is distributed along the stitches. A single tag alone doesn't 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 it's 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 don't 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 won't turn up nicely, at least for the 1st trials.When my wife was browsing online for crouches over $1,000, I know it's 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. It's 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 I'm 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 doesn't 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 it's 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 it's loose fit with some fold lines at the side, it looked like soft leather at a few feet away. The two tone isn't 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 I'm sure some tags are dislodged, but I have yet to repair my creation.
