I used it on my granddaughter pants that were too big in the waist. I had been using a pony tail, but this works better!

I will say the company was too cheap to bother putting directions in the box and that's ridiculous because it took quite a while to figure out how to put the pieces in the machine. Once I figured it out the small ones worked well for buttons. I haven't used it for anything else yet. I strongly advise the company to add directions.

I was looking forward to try this stitch gun for a dress whose v-neck hung just a bit too low. Upon arrival, I opened the box and was not too impressed. The box mentions upgraded structure, jam-free, premium material... I suppose I don't have another stitch gun to compare it to, but the structure of the stitch gun was not particularly great or high quality to me. Most importantly to note, and surprising to me, was that there was no instruction page included for this machine at all! I was hoping perhaps it was just so easy, we didn't need instructions...lol.Well, so I just tried to figure it out on my own. I loaded it just fine. Then I tested it out on a napkin...and I ended up using maybe 10 total of the tag things with trial and error. What I learned was that I really needed to keep holding the pieces up against the machine for it to go through and connect both pieces (I was letting go too quickly before it went through to the other side)...Holding both pieces of fabric up against the needle with one hand and pulling the lever on the gun with the other hand at the same time was actually a lot more awkward/harder than I thought it would be! LOL. I even poked my finger with the needle at one point trying to hold the back portion of the fabrics.Then when I finally got success, I ended up getting a jam. At this point, I figured I better take a look at the listing. Lo and behold, the instructions were on the listing photos (click on "+2" at the end of the listing photos) but again, none were included in my box. So it states to remove the band of fasteners, you have to hold the trigger down while pulling the band of fasteners out. This means every time you remove it, you in effect lose one more tag fastener (cuz you pressed the trigger to release one).To remove or change the needle, you turn the white lever (which is laying horizontal facing away from the point of the needle) 180 degrees to horizontal but now facing the needle point. So I tried this and realized that my needle base seemed to have a chip on it. I'm not sure how long that needle will last, but hopefully it won't affect things in the future. And I likely also dulled the point when I punctured myself, too. Lol. Also, I still thought the needle was quite thick and did show some effects on my clothes. However from all the other stitch gun listings, this seems to be the norm and what they call a fine needle.I appreciate that it came with black fasteners because that worked out for my dresses neck line I wanted to adjust. See my photos for how that turned out...again, it took several tries to get it right. But I was pretty satisfied with final result for that one. I tried to alter the hem of one of my pants without much luck, but I'll probably have to do some more trial and error again until I'm successful with it. Hope someone learns from my experience thus far...

Honestly, how much can you expect for well under $10? This little gun works better than I expected and it comes with way more of the little tags and in two different sizes than other listings I've seen for more money. The only thing it's missing is a storage bag and instructions. There are instructions in the listing pictures and it's very easy once you've figured it out, but it would be nice to have something to easily reference.I wasted a bunch of tags while trying it out that didn't stick through the fabric, but as I got better at it I realized you need to keep the needle through the fabric until the tag is through, which is basically when you release the trigger. Pulling the trigger tends to push the fabric away so you need to hold the fabric in place. I was able to use the short ones to tack a hem together in a few spots while I sewed it together. The longer ones can actually be used kind of like a sewing stitch if the fabric is thin enough and you weave through it with the needle a couple times (see pic). This would be a relatively neat way to do a quick hem or mend.

So if you have ever seen a price tag gun, that is essentially what this is. However, since this is intended to add a quick stitch when needed, the plastic tags come in a few different sizes. We initially got this because my wife had some oversized skirts and pants that she needed to bring in, and none of us are really seamsters or seamstresses. Add on to that the poor quality of clothes these days, and a dog who loves stuffed animals but keeps putting holes in them, we have a fair amount that needs stitching.Operation is simple. The plastic tags are pretty strong, and we haven't had any break yet. There's also a few different colors to help them blend in better. On top of that, if we ever needed to for some reason, we could probably use it to re-attach a price tag that had been removed or something.This probably wouldn't be that useful for someone who knows how to sew (and has time to), but for time crunches and less skilled people, this is handy to have around. We're actually getting a second one so we can have one up in our room and one in a more common area where everyone can use it.
