How to use it

• To sew a bag handle, make a cross square (rectangle with diagonals): the load is better distributed than with a simple line.
• On imitation or fine leather, do not press too long in the same place: holes that are too close together weaken the material.
• To embroider a visible front stitch, use an elongated eye needle and a thread of about 50 cm, the longer it gets tangled.
• Secure the thread at the beginning of the sewing process with two small overlapping stitches rather than a large knot.

It goes well with coated canvas, thick linen or velvet, and brass rings or buckles.
