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

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

I never take the time to sew on buttons. But I went to a local discount department store to purchase a blouse I needed for that evening. Long story short all but 1 button came off the blouse. I was infuriated. So to prevent this scenario from repeating itself I ordered what I guess is the original button replacer, the Buttoneer, from another website. The thing broke in my hand the first time I tried to use it right out of the box. I then found this Micro Stitch on Amazon. When it came in I could tell it was sturdier than the Buttoneer. This fits in your hand like a glue gun. But the tags were really tiny and I didnt have much trust in it. Well, within 5 minutes of taking it out of the box I had replaced all of the buttons on the shirt. I then gave them a tug and they all seem to be holding fast. Im really happy with this Micro Stitch. I know from using it on the buttons that it is going to come in so handy with unexpected tears and hems that are coming loose. Never again will I have the stress of having to find something else to wear at the last minute because a button fell off!

This little one stitch gun is awesome! We use it for quick outfit fixes, when straps are to long and have even used it to quickly alter dance costumes! It’s very easy to use and it’s effective! It isn’t an actual stitch but uses a tiny plastic tag to stitch, we love it and it’s been a life saver! Only complaint would be wish it went through thick bands easier, wish there were different size plastic stitches you could use!

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.

This does work but the needle you insert is thick so make sure you put it where you need it.

I wanted to try this instead of boob tape to keep my summer shirts from showing my bra. While it does cover and starts all day, the tiny plastic itches your skin all day. I also tried using it to tac under my arms on a shirt thats too big, that worked but there is a tiny gap in between the material. Good for temporary use until you can get to a needle and thread

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 use it for everything! Hold the blanket inside the duvet, hold shirt closed, hide padding in bra let’s, hold bed ruffle one, Hemmed shower curtain to make shorter and the list goes on…

If you frequently find yourself trying to safety pin your “too low-cut for work” v-neck top or dress, then the micro stitch is for you! This purchase literally changed my life! I’ve ruined so many tops after trying to safety pin the delicate fabric and twisting the pin so it’s hidden. I’ve also run into hard times safety pinning myself into a wrap-top romper because the little snaps always fall off - it was always a nightmare trying to repin my romper after a few glasses of wine. I love this so much. I never have to worry about wardrobe malfunctions and flying safety pins anymore! It’s quick, easy to use, provides a more flexible and almost invisible hold, doesn’t damage my clothes, AND I don’t have to worry about getting poked by a rebel pin. There are only two things about this product I would change: 1. It would be nice to have clear plastic stitches, 2. I wish there were stitches that were slightly stretchy so I could get more wear out of them.

This device makes it easy to hide bra straps.
