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

This thing ACTUALLY works and quick too! It’s basically a safe staple for your clothes and actually holds. Get it!

This product is simple to use and can save any outfit mishap. I highly recommend it.

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.

As much as i wanted this. I was disappointed that I was so limited.

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.

So simple and quick! No need to have safety pins or even worry about sewing! Fix the issue in seconds! Also super easy to remove so the stitch is not permanent

I was in love with this product until it stoped working. If the price point was lower I would definitely purchase a replacement.

Love this little stitch gun. I have fixed many different things with it. Quick and easy to use.

I gently used this for two months- and I really do mean gently used. I was so sad when out of the blue the entire tip of the gun broke off today. It’s now useless. Up until today, I would absolutely find an occasional but necessary garment for it to tailor. My chest is a larger size than my waist and hips; I loved how useful it was to secure and quickly tailor my tops using this stitching gun. I reached out to their customer service today and will update my review if they send a replacement. Hopefully they reply and send a replacement. Maybe I just got a lemon? In the meantime, I can’t say it’s worth shelling out this money having broken so quickly and with no customer service guarantee.

Works great, this one is too expensive for what it does go with the cheaper option.
