Clover Stitching Tool, Metal, 1 8800

Quality tool. Far superior to cheaper versions at half the price. This tool will last years. Having much fun with this making a colourful wall hanging with Aida fabric.

Have tried to find one of these for years,#. Still haven't had time to use it but I am sure it will work.

I honestly doubted this a lot when I bought it. The more I used it

Have tried a different tool before this one and find this one much better. I find embridering with a normal needle difficult due to arthritic fingers but can manage fine with the clover, also I like the loop effect. would definitley recomend it.

This is a needle-punching tool and comes with a 3 ply needle. 1 ply and 6 ply needles are available separately. I think it would have been nice to have had all three without having to order them separately. I tried it with Clover's 'Kantan Couture' gold thread that's designed for this tool, but think that the 1 ply needle would work better with this very fine thread. I got on much better with a thicker thread. A little bit of practice is needed to get even stitches but once you've got the hang of it you can work quite fast. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for back stitch since it can be a little wasteful at the back of the stitches. But for looped stitching it's pretty good, once you get the hang of it. I'm only giving it 3 stars because, as I said, I think they could have included at least one other needle size. Buying the other needles separately is a little expensive. I also found the threader to be a little too short - an extra centimetre would have made threading much easier. Do bear in mind that to secure the stitches permanently you have to put glue on the start and finish of your work, otherwise your stitches will unravel and all your hard work will be lost! Not for everyday embroidery but good if you want to needle-punch.

Great

This is not what it seems to be. It does not actually properly embroider, it does not create proper stitches and is not a miracle quick fix for embroidering garments. All it does is punch holes and leave a loop of fabric behind each 'stitch', each loop is not secured in any way and the instructions tell you that you need to glue the 'stitches' at the back to secure them - so, not at all what it seems to be. Very disappointing.

Ideal when you get working but needle was too small so had to glue in lucky enough didn't get in barrel as the needle would of been useless but now I love it using it is a breeze

Es una aguja mágica muy buena. Reconozco que no es fácil de usar o al menos a mi no me resulta fácil. Pero es robusta y degran calidad como todos los productos de la marca Clover.

La compré porque me la recomendaron en un curso que tomé, pero no conocía de agujas mágicas, la verdad me ha gustado mucho ya que se me hizo fácil de usarla, bueno al principio como todos batallé en saber cómo bordar con aguja mágica, pero ahora que aprendí un poquito me ha Sido muy funcional, no se me ha roto y no creo que me pase, ya que es muy resistente, es delgadita como para usarla como Perle 8, 12 o hilazas, pero con 3 hilos a lo mucho. Por eso es que deja un bordado muy lindo y delicado. No podría comparar con otras, pero viendo que muchos mencionan que otras agujas mágicas de otras marcas se les rompen , pues creo que ha de ser buena, ya que a mí no se me rompió. Trae instructivo y súper bien explicado, viene en varios idiomas incluyendo español. Lo único es que el metal de la aguja de la parte de abajo se está como oxidado o decolorante, pero no me ha afectado nada en el uso.

Arrived on time as described in perfect condition. This is a great tool I have on hand I haven’t used it yet, but I’ve used them in the past and this one works exactly the same as the last one that I had so I’m pretty sure it’s gonna work well.

Petit outil précis qui se manie avec facilité quand on comprend le fonctionnement du punch needle. Permet d’utiliser des fils plus fins pour un travail plus délicat. Je suis ravie

Enjoy using the products but only useful for pictures not for embroidery that will be used ie table cloths or clothes
