MicroStitch The Original Tagging Gun Kit – Includes Micro Stitch Tagging Tool, 1 Needle, 600 White Fasteners & 480 Black Fasteners (Starter Kit), Green

I love sewing and arts and crafts but have struggled with it lately due to the early onset of Arthritis. We brought a caravan last year that was new to us but needed just a little updating, and I also wanted to put my stamp on it to really make it mine. I managed new curtains as this was easy for me on the sewing machine but once finished I really wanted to tackle the upholstery but knew that managing the pins for this job would be difficult for me. Then I saw this little gadget come up on a deal page I follow, so I thought I would give it a go. It has been a game changer for me. Instead of fiddling with pins, I can quickly tack things in place with this so it is held ready for me to machine. I have never done upholstery before but so far I am pleased with the results. I still have a lot to do but thanks to this little guy I have confidence in myself to be able to complete it. I’m putting before and after pics on to show my work. Get one of these tools if you are into sewing, and also it came in handy for a quick repair of an open seam while we were away. Saved the day.

Bought on a whim, but it has proved to be really effective and useful. Emergency repairs, temporary trouser turn ups, tacking for sewing machine. Very strong and and semi-permanent fastening. Recommended and very pleased. I wish that transperent plastic fasteners were available.

Tagging gun for holding quilts together before sewing, did the job perfectly but took ages to find them and remove after sewing.

Great product highly recommended to others easy to fix garment repairs

Such a useful tool. Saves so much time.

Super gadget

I bought this MicroStitch Avery Tool for my wife as a Christmas stocking filler but when she came to use it for the first time yesterday it was found to have the needle guard missing and the needle lock didn't do anything. When she tried to use it as intended it failed to insert a micro-stitch through the material. We then both tried to get it to work on a plain cotton handkerchief but all it did was crumple the strip of little tags up. We simply couldn't get the thing to work. Ours arrived in an unsealed cardboard box, not the blister pack as shown. I don't know if we'd been sent a faulty one or a fake but, it's been returned and a refund has been issued. Very disappointing and I now see that the price has increased by £10 so, I definitely won't be buying another.

This is the 2nd one that l have brought, (the other still works but is missing in my craftroom! ) and l wanted another for downstairs. I have used it to add some detail to suitcases so that we know that they are ours when we go to Airports. They hold extremely securely however if they get ripped off then the won’t damage the suitcase unlike if sewn on. Have also used to take up trousers that are far to long and are still in place 7-8 yrs later.
