I am hooked to stapler. Cannot do without one :) But seriously. First I had this stapler(I paid $10 not sure whats up with prices) which didn't last at all with upholstery. It constantly jammed, had to clean out after each staple. Finally side hooks just broke off:
Now I got this one and it is monster!
However, with this one I have to "squeeze" each staple with pliers to make it flat before sewing. And then it is real PITA to pull staples after sewing. I feel like tons of time wasted on stapling and removing staples. But I have no issues sewing any kind of complexity parts.
So, I am trying (on simple parts) just to align them with my hands but for headrests or any other small parts with curves when I have scrim foam, etc I feel like I need it.
Do pro's use this method? (I found this tip in Chechaflo videos)
And if not, how do you get off it? I am perfectly fine with tape as allowance guide. I do French seams using edge of a foot. So, I'm getting faster. But this stapling just kills me.
